This deck contains slides I have used in live talks that (more or less) are simple and contain quite a bit of empty space. The first set are some before/after examples, followed by a random sample. This deck is not meant to tell a story -- this is just a way to show some random examples. The meaning of the slides may not be at all clear without the narration that goes with the slides.
This was a talk I gave to the MA Design students at Birmingham Institute of Art & Design. I was invited to show them examples of my work, but more importantly, talk about how and why and where an with whom. The emphasis was more on relating my experiences of being a one-man-band.

1. People tend to put every word they are
going to say on their PowerPoint slides.
Although this eliminates the need to

12. TOO MANY
L E V E L S
What it is worst
— Too many bullet point levels are shown
– Type size gets smaller and smaller
– Until it is utterly unreadable

– Better yet, forget about bullets (bullets, not guns, kill people. Don’t you know?)
– Use them sparingly
– There are many other ways of detiling your ideas!
