So a while back I did a presentation to the office on how to do presentations.
This isn’t because I think I am very good at them, but because having done so many in my life – I know what simple things can make someone so much more effective when they do them.
That said, I’m a bit of a hypocrite given I don’t follow every rule to the letter … but as someone said, those who can’t do, teach.
Ahem.
I should also point out that the title of this post is misleading.
I don’t actually want to turn people into Freddie Mercury.
Not only do I have doubts he’d be that good in the boardroom, the fact is his leotards would be a bitch to wear.
That said, on the stage he was a beast.
It didn’t matter if he was performing to 200 people or 200,000, all eyes were on him and he made sure his audience always went away getting exactly what they wanted and hoped for.
And that’s what I mean by the title of the post.
Promise.
Anyway, as some of the slides are in my usual ‘picture, no words’ format … I thought I should give a brief breakdown of what they mean and then after that, it should all be fairly obvious.
I hope.
Unless you’re a thicko.
Remember, this is not a blueprint for how to present, it’s simply 8 ‘tips’ that can make you – whatever your style – better.
That’s not just because I don’t think anyone has the right to dictate presentation standards, but because the last thing the World needs is a bunch of people all adopting the same robotic approach to what they have to say.
Anyway, to see the meaning of each slide, simply go here: http://wp.me/pSDH-4gd
I hope it’s useful, even if you end up using it as tips of what NOT to do.
Ta-ra.

På den første side i formåls beskrivelsen for de fleste nye digitale løsninger står, at de skal servicere kunderne og skabe værdi. Men hvordan designer vi oplevelser, som inviterer til engagement og loyalitet, og som gør kunden til frivillig ambassadør for din ydelse eller dit produkt?

Case Study: Using Digital to Create Luxury Retail ExperiencesDigiday
David Womack, executive creative director for mobile and social platforms at R/GA, has been working with luxury jeweler Tiffany & Co. for years to develop their presence on the web, in social, and through apps. Now he's working with the brand to translate that momentum into digital experiences that are redefining the luxury experience in retail.
This is the first edition of In The Meta, a Colenso planning team fanzine dedicated to exploring different subcultures in gaming.
In this edition, we explore how sexual expression has been embraced, exploited and expressed by gamers across the globe.
Whether it’s VR pornography or retailing bathwater … In The Meta examines how gaming has allowed people to educate, explore and/or express their individuality and sexuality.
I should point out some may be confronted by what they read and the design may make it NSFW.
It definitely falls out of many mainstream comfort zones.
However out goal is not to provoke or offend, it’s simply to shine a light on the behaviours and beliefs millions live by every day.
Because maybe the more we understand, the better we can all be.
Any questions, please shout. Enjoy the adventure and H/T to Liam and Hamish who were behind this edition.
Rob Campbell + GroupThink = Be More StupidRob Campbell
This was not for - or on behalf - of R/GA.
What was originally a talk on the importance of sub-culture became a talk on why Black Lives Matter is the only matter I care about right now ... how adland has to change and 6 things you can do TODAY to make a difference.
It's all pictures rather than words, but it means a lot to me, because the people who helped me grow mean a lot to me. Maya Thompson. Breanna Jones. Chelsea Curry.
[And every other person of colour who has been my friend, guide and ass kicker]
My presentation at Google Firestarters on insights.
As it's my usual 'picture, no words' presentation style, it probably will make little sense ... but if it's any consolation, that's how the people who heard me give it thought too.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
Hello everyone! I am thrilled to present my latest portfolio on LinkedIn, marking the culmination of my architectural journey thus far.

From rigorous academic pursuits to practical engagements, each experience has contributed to my growth and refinement as an architecture student. This portfolio not only showcases my projects but also underscores my attention to detail and to innovative architecture as a profession.
