Create icons in PowerPoint
Using icons is a great way to add visuals to your presentation. There are many ways to get icons online, some are even free. But if you need a specific icon that you can’t find or if you want a special spin to your icon (color, shadow etc) – you can use PowerPoint’s great (and somewhat hidden) “Merge Shapes” commands to create your own icons.
Using these commands you can combine basic shapes into other shapes. You can union and subtract shapes. You can intersect and combine. All while still working natively inside PowerPoint. Once you have created an icon you can change the color, filling and add shadows as needed.
It is just as fun as building with Lego blocks! Well, almost..
This is a guide in 15 steps showing you how you can use these commands to create your own icon - the example we are using is a calendar icon.

The What If Technique presented by Motivate Design
Why "What If"...?
The What If Technique tackles the challenge of engaging a creative, disruptive mindset when it comes to design thinking and crafting innovative user experiences.
Thinking disruptively is a disruptive thing to do, which means it's a very hard thing to do, especially when you add in risk-averse business leaders and company cultures, who hold on tight to psychological blocks, corporate lore, and excuse personas that stifle creativity and possibilities (see www.motivatedesign.com/what-if for more details).
The What If Technique offers key steps, tools and examples to help you achieve incremental changes that promote disruptive thinking, overcome barriers to creativity, and lead to big, innovative differences for business leaders, companies, and ultimately user experiences and products.
Let's find out what's what together! Explore your "What Ifs" with us. See www.motivatedesign.com/what-if for details about the What If Technique, studio workshops, the book, case studies and more downloads--including a the sample chapter "Corporate Lore and Blocks to Creativity"

American Advertising Federation Presentations
My presentation on October 19, 2009 to two Wisconsin chapters of the American Advertising Federation, in the Green Bay area as well as Madison.
The Uberfication of Advertising
This document discusses 3 lessons from unicorns:
1. The future is convenience technology, which provides quick and easy services like ride-sharing and task services. Convenience is becoming more important than content.
2. Companies are owning customer relationships rather than assets, exemplified by Uber not owning vehicles and Airbnb not owning properties.
3. Business model innovation is disruptive, with new models like subscriptions, marketplaces, and on-demand services replacing traditional models. Technology enables new business models.
Example Of A Popular Culture Presentation
World War 2 began in 1939 and ended in 1945. During this time, rationing was introduced which restricted fabrics and leather. Popular toys included dolls, marbles, toy tanks and trains which were often made of wood due to material shortages. For men, suits became simpler with influences from military uniforms while women's fashion emphasized defined waists and accessorizing with scarves, hats and jewelry. Fast food restaurants like drive-ins and hamburger joints became popular alongside soda fountains and snack stands. Entertainment included movies, dancing and listening to popular musicians as radio shows were often broadcast live.
Presentation on small business industry
Small-scale industries are an important part of the Indian economy, accounting for 40% of manufacturing value added and 80% of employment. They contribute 42% to exports. A small-scale industry is defined as one with plant and machinery investment of less than Rs. 1 crore. Small industries provide several benefits - they are labor intensive, mobilize resources, involve small risks, have short gestation periods, generate employment, help equitable income distribution and regional development. However, they also face problems related to finance, marketing, technology and raw materials. The government promotes small industries through organizations like public sector banks, NABARD, NSIC, SIDBI and schemes for rural/women entrepreneurship development.
