When they create a presentation, they will often times use it as a script and put everything they need to talk about on the slide. This is not a good substitute for an Instructor Guide because the presenter becomes dependent on the PowerPoint instead of the content or the learners.

Editor's Notes
- #3 Some of the skills I learned from running my own ecommerce website were: Simplicity End User-Design Responsive Design HTML/CSS Coding Colors Search Engine Optimization Google Ads Social Media Marketing Analytics Visual Design Product Images A/B Testing Email Marketing Graphic Design Accounting ROI and Lifetime Value EMPATHY Well all of these skills taught me the importance of all kinds of design and design principles. All of which helped to contribute to my company’s success. None more than the other. So why do I bring this up?

- #6 Why Does PowerPoint get a bad reputation?
- #9 At a certain point, the number of words on a slide prevents it from being a visual aid. You’ve been there. The audience is reading the slides instead of paying attention to the presenter, the presenter is reading the slides instead of connecting with the audience, and the whole endeavor would have been better served through a well-composed document or even an email. Unfortunately, the negative habits that lead to this kind of presentation style are deeply rooted and difficult to change. But consider this: audiences will either listen to what a presenter is saying or read the slides themselves. They won’t do both. Why? People tend to focus on one stream of verbal communication at a time listening and reading are conflicting activities.

- #11 Another strength of PowerPoint is the ability to use visual aids to break down large chunks of content. Here we have the 5 functions of a Child Support Case in DCSS. Each function is an entire class in DCSS, so using animatins to break down each function allows you to discuss each more indepth while allowing your user to see that each is just a part of the whole process in DCSS.

- #13 One of the greatest strengths of PowerPoint is its ability to present visual information. Typically PowerPoints are broadcasted on a giant screen, in front of a classroom or audience, so you have a large, HD canvas to create a visual representation for your audience to help understand your point. Here is an infographic called “Best in Show”. It shows you a number of statistics as it relates to dogs.

- #15 One of the weaknesses of PowerPoint is that it can easily get cluttered. People try to put too much on one slide and it quickly becomes overwhelming for the viewer. Additionally, PowerPoint can be distracting if your visuals or animation aren’t relevant to your content.

- #32 Slidedocs are visual documents, developed in presentation software, that are intended to be read and referenced instead of projected. How to use Slide Docs? Simply put, slidedocs communicate on your behalf. When informationneeds to be conveyed without the help of a formal presenter, slidedocsserve this purpose. As a Pre-Read The most effective conversations happen when everybody is fully informed. By distributing a slidedoc before a meeting, you can reserve a majority of the meeting for building consensus. This is particularly helpful when the topic is highly complexor technical. As Reference Materials Information should enhance a conversation, not distract from it. Combining words and visuals around a single idea makes it easier for people to refer to the information in the heat of a discussion. As Follow-Up Material Presentations often answer the question, “Why should I embrace your idea?” After a formal presentation, people need answers to the question, “How do I embrace your idea?” Follow up with details so they can help you push forward. This is why slidedocs make great modular sales collateral.

- #34 Font choice is a powerful instrument that enhances your messages and completes your design. However there are hundreds of fonts available and no real rule of thumb to make a quick and effective choice. There are two major font choices that you will have to choose from. These choices are Serif vs. Sans-Serif. Serif fonts are fonts with little feet on the letters and Sans (which means without in French) Serif means without the feet. Serif fonts are recommended for long text, as readers can keep their eyes focused on and between the lines. However for presentations, I recommend using Sans-Serif fonts since it is easier to jump from word to word. To the right here we have the 5 ADA compliant fonts. And these are my favorite fonts. You won’t find any of these on your computer, so you have to embed the fonts into your powerpoint from a non-state computer to make this happen! Best practices with font is: Max 3 fonts per presentation. As far as the best practices with size. What I do is I go to the slide sorter view, and set the zoom to 66%. This will give you a realistic view of what your slides will look like as your presenting.

- #37 Color is a vital tool for design, and especially information design. Color is the most effective way to convey differentiation. Remember when you first learned a red light means stop and a green one means go? Color can also provide a sense of wayfinding, allowing readers to scan text and quickly isolate elements such as subheadings and bullets.
- #38 Has anyone heard the Terms RGB and CMYK before? Explain the difference between the two: RGB model is the model that most closely matches the human eye for two reasons. First, the three colors are most similar to the receptors in the human eye. Second, the RGB model is an additive model, meaning that as you add higher levels of color channels, you get closer to white. RGB is the most vibrant model and is supported by most file formats. The downside to RGB, is that it contains more colors than can be printed. The solution: CMYK. CMYK is completely different from the RGB model in that it uses a subtractive method, meaning the more colors you add, the less light you see. Think about when you were little and you were painting with different paints. The more colors you added to a painting, the color would turn what color? Brown. This is the model that your printer uses to print, instead of adding more and more colors to achieve a color, it uses a subtractive model where it aims to mix as few colors as possible to achieve the color you’re looking for. You also might be more familiar with this model, because it is what most printers run on. Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. Because of the subtractive model, the black cartridge is a separate cartridge so your printer doesn’t have to mix CMYK to achieve the black tone.
- #39 Usually when deciding on a color scheme you’ll begin with the dominant color. Usually this color is picked based on a company’s main color, or by looking at your overall goal of your design, and picking a color to match that message based on their meanings. From there, I typically use the dominant color’s complementary color. So in the lean presentation, I use Blue as my dominant color, and Orange as the complementary color. This allows me to use Orange to highlight certain aspects and keep a viewers attention. From there I typically use the Adobe Color Creator to find the right balance of colors.
- #41 If I asked you to describe the steps you take when sketching a design, you might tell me about a line you drew here and a shape you added there. You might talk about a pattern you sketched and how you gave an object a sense of depth through shading. You’d be describing all the marks you place on the page and how you organized them into some cohesive whole. That’s not the full story, though. You’d be neglecting to talk about the space of the canvas and how you shaped that space as part of your design. Space provides the contrast for the elements that fill it. A positive form only exists in comparison to negative space. They exist together like day and night or yin and yang. One doesn’t exist without the other and you can’t change one without changing the other. Design is as much about shaping and organizing space as it is about what fills the space. It’s your first and perhaps most important design element. It’s the element you start with when staring at the blank page and with the first mark you add, you begin to manipulate the space. Don’t allow space to be the leftover result of where your positive elements aren’t located. Learn to shape the space. The object of design is not to completely fill the canvas. It’s to balance what you place on the page with the empty space of the canvas. A good use of space leads to cleaner and more professional design. It allows positive elements to breathe and makes it easier for anyone looking at your design to find what they want.
- #42 Introduction Here What does Space Communicate? Space (contrasted with positive elements) can communicate quite a bit. More space typically lends a sense of quality to a design. When you place less elements in space, the elements becomes rarer. Their supply is limited, which increases their value. More space can thus be seen as luxurious and a show of wealth. Big Lots They cram as many products as possible onto the home screen. There is little open space, and your eye has no clue where to look first. Imagine how difficult it would be to find one product on this type of a webpage. I imagine that is why the Search Bar is so large and right at the top of the page. Target Home Page Notice how much more space there is on the Target page. Elements stand out from one another making it easier to find a specific shoe you’re looking for. This page is still a little cluttered for my liking, but it works for them since there is such a huge variety in the products they offer. Tiffany’s Web Page Finally we have the Tiffany’s page. Not part of the Page, this is the entire front page of the Tiffany’s site. It is filled with empty space which makes it the most inviting page. Your eye knows exactly where to look (not at the price!) Now compare each of the 3 pages we just looked at with their retail stores, which stores usually have more space inside? Those which sell more expensive items, or those that sell discount items? Think about what the space of each home page suggestes to you about the products being sold.

- #44 Some other things that space communicates: Purity: cleanliness, washed Openness: distance, infinity Calmness: placidity, inaction Elegance: wealth, luxury Sophistication: professionalism, trust Quality in message Space is far more than a place to put other things. It contributes as much to the communication of your design as anything you place inside the space. Don’t be afraid of space. More space is almost never a bad thing. It’s hard to have too much. Your audience is unlikely to complain that you’ve used too much space and made it easy for them to find the elements it holds. They are likely to complain that your design is too crowded and allows nothing to stand out.
- #46 White Space is likely the most important of all the design elements we will talk about today. It can be used to separate and/or connect elements within a designer. By controlling our use of space in our design, we create a sense of flow within our work. Whitespace does three main things in a design: Create groupings of elements Create emphasis and hierarchy Improves legibility Consistent use of negative or white space is a hallmark of professional design. Additionally, whitespace gives a place for the eye to rest, which it needs in order to absorb the message you’re trying to communicate. Finally, employing whitespace in your design means that you omit needless parts. That you strip a concept down to ONLY what the viewer needs to understand the message. One of my favorite quotes is by William Strunk. In his famous book on the Elements of Writing Style: he states: “Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail…but that every word tell.”
- #47 Insert Example
- #48 Although the value of your workshops are absolutely found in the presentation and the content, why do we need to design the information in order for our viewers to understand it? Well 50% of the brain is devoted to processing visual images. 66% of stimuli reaching the brain are visual And 80-90% of learning is visually based.
- #49 Also, lets be honest… We’ve all sat through a boring PowerPoint before and thought it was never going to end. So why would we do this to our learners? I have designed over a dozen of the Lean Team’s PowerPoints and the content in your classes are gold… But if that information isn’t displayed in the best way for our learners to take advantage of it, they might not. Which equates in extra mentoring time, extra emails, extra everything… but the point is to be lean, right?
- #50 And if I haven’t convinced you yet, I’ll just leave this statistic right here… Combining visuals with text improves communication and learning by 89%, this statistic was found by the National Science Foundation.
- #54 A vector graphic is one that is based on a mathematical formula, such as one you would work with in a geometry class. For example, if you took a vector graphic, PowerPoint stores the line’s Start Point, End Point, and the line properties (width, color, and so forth) as numeric values. When you move or resize the line, PowerPoint updates these numbers. So what is the difference between a Vector and any other Image? Well remember how vectors calculate based off Line start and end points? Well Images carry no formula since each individual pixel is represented by its own numerical value. This is why images tend to be so much larger than Vectors- they have more numbers to track. So why use a vector? The most important advantages of using Vectors are: Size: Vector graphic files do not require much storage space because not every pixel of the image needs to be represented by a value Scalability: When you resize a vector graphic, the math is recalculated and the shape is redrawn. This means that the picture is never distorted and its lines never become jagged or grainy. The main drawback to vector graphics is their lack of realism. No matter how good of an artist you are, a vector graphic will always have a flat, cartoonish quality to it.
- #55 What do I mean by Graphics must be relevant? Well lets look at these statistics. This is taken from the Cone of Experience. It states that people generally remember: 10% of what they Read 20% of what they Hear 30% of what they See 50% of what they Hear and See 70% of what they Say 90% of what they DO Another aspect of Graphics is that it must: Enhance an Idea Show a relationship Communicate a concept So what if we tried this…(click) Which of these would you rather see… A or B

- #57 Another aspect of this is selecting the correct graphics to display your concept. Here is two bad examples, One is too Grainy/pixelated and the other is too small/far away. The last picture is just right. You can see it in detail and capture the expression on her face. The best way to achieve this is when you’re looking for pictures, either use Vector images (SVG file formats) or to filter your image search on google to LARGE files only.
- #58 Information Design should be 4 things: Interesting Honest Pretty Useful
- #59 Before you choose a layout for your SmartArt graphic, ask yourself what you want to convey and whether you want your information to appear a certain way. Since you can quickly and easily switch layouts, try different layouts (across types) until you find the one that best illustrates your message. A type is similar to a category that can help you quickly choose the appropriate layout for your information. Experiment with different types. The table below is not an exhaustive list, but can help you as a starting point.
- #60 If you want bulleted text to stand out, you can easily transfer text to shapes that you can color, give dimension to, and emphasize with visual effects or animation. By using a layout in the List type, your main points gain visibility and impact in colorful shapes that emphasize their importance. List layouts group information that does not follow a step-by-step or sequential process. Unlike Process layouts, List layouts usually do not have arrows or a directional flow.
- #61 Unlike List layouts, layouts in the Process type usually have a directional flow and are used to illustrate steps or stages in a process or workflow, such as sequential steps for completing a task, general phases in the development of a product, or a timeline or schedule. Use Process layouts when you want to show how steps or phases follow one another to produce a result. Process layouts are available showing a process in vertical steps, horizontal steps, or a bending combination.
- #62 Although you can use a Process layout to communicate step-by-step information, a layout in the Cycle type usually illustrates a circular or repetitive process. You can use Cycle layouts to show product or animal life cycles, teaching cycles, repeated or ongoing processes (such as a continuous writing and publishing cycle for a Web site), or an employee's annual goal-setting and performance review cycle.
- #63 Perhaps the most common usage for layouts in the Hierarchy type is a company organization chart. But Hierarchy layouts can also be used to show decision trees, family trees, or a family of products.
- #64 Layouts in the Relationship type show nonprogressive, nonhierarchical relationships between parts (such as interlocking or overlapping concepts) and typically depict conceptual relationships or connections between two or more sets of things.
