2) It then discusses an upcoming lesson on graphic novels and sequential art that will be presented by Penny Feltner. Students are given time to discuss with their teams.
3) The document provides guidance on graphics and their purposes across media, discusses an upcoming lesson, and allows for team discussion among the students.
Unconventional wisdom: Putting the WHY Before the WHAT of Presentation DesignSheila B. Robinson
This is my second slide deck on presentation design and is designed to complement (and overlap a bit) my first: Data Visualization and Information Design: One Learner's Perspective. This one is in answer to the many questions I've been getting: How do you know this stuff and where did you learn it, and WHY are there all these new rules?
Enjoy!

Data Visualization & Information Design: One Learner's PerspectiveSheila B. Robinson
This is my first slide deck designed to share. It reflects a summary and applied practice of some basic lessons learned about data visualization and information design in the context of presentations, and from my perspective as an educator / program evaluator. Enjoy!
Don't murder your message with 19 year old clip art, garish colour schemes, whizzing text and abusive sounds, and line after line of tiny text that the speaker reads and the audience can't see - captivate your audience Ninja style! This session will go through the easy steps how to liven up any presentation by dumping the templates, embracing dramatic graphics with Creative Commons, and limiting the number of words per slide to create a truly engaging presentation slidedeck. Zing! Ninja style, now your presentation makes people lean forward...and are eager for your message. Become a presentation a sensei! - This is also a great way to demand that your students synthesize their information and refine their skillz to become the next generation of presentation Ninjas!

Stop Breaking The Basic Rules of PresentingNed Potter
Blog post at http://bit.ly/hGhaFK. Some people are confident public speakers, other people get nervous. Either way, you still see a lot of people breaking the most basic rules of presenting, and those presentations would be a lot better if they didn't.

A presentation given to a colleague's class on some principles effective presentation planning and design. If graphic design is "the creative use of plagiarism," then these are my sources: Garr Reynolds, Nancy Duarte, Jessie Desjardins, Emiland De Cubber, Jan Schultink, Steve Jobs, and many others.
Do you share online the same slides that you used for your live presentation? Your online audience could be missing your message. Here is an easy solution that promotes great slide creation at the same time!

How To Create PowerPoints That Are Out Of This WorldProductLed
Take it from someone who cringes at the site of ugly powerpoints. If you apply these 4 takeaways, your Powerpoint will dramatically help you amplify your message.
The 3 Minute Thesis is a competition where research students present their thesis in less than three minutes with only a single slide. In this presentation, I go over: how to construct your presentation; how to present; and some notes on how to select the single slide.
The slides are presented here for people who saw this presentation. I am preparing a second version of the slides that contain more details.
These slides were presented by me at Ignite Hyderabad. To make it easy for you, I have added a gist of what I said on every slide in the black rectangular box.
Silent movies are the essence of visual storytelling. Let "The Artist" inspire your next presentation.
If you have not seen this movie yet, go and see it !

The 17 Graphic Design Tips All Non Designers Need to KnowRam Chary Everi
I am not a trained graphic designer. But if you’re reading this post, you’re probably not either. And I’m guessing you’re not heading to art school anytime soon.
2. TODAY
1) Graphics: how do they work?
2) Group time
3) Penny’s activity
4) Homework
3. ACE feedback
We had some ACE students visit the evening class
last night. We did some talking, showed them some
work, and captured some video.
4. ACE: we’ll do that
again next week…
With any luck, we will have another
set of ACE students to work with
next Monday night, so if any of you
can come in during that time (it’s
here, 7 pm to probably 8:30 or so),
that’d be fantastic.
5. Graphic key:
the rule of thirds
One thing that we must always bear in mind
when thinking about the use of graphics is the
rule of thirds. What is that, exactly? I’m glad
you asked!
6. The Rule of Thirds is
basically this: think of
your visual images
(including video footage)
as being broken into 9
quadrants, like the
image to the side. Key
elements should appear
at the intersections or
on the lines themselves.
7. Good rule of thirds framing on
a terrible slide :
8. Graphics
For today, you did a slew of readings on graphics
and how to best use them in your both print and
digital work. If you have questions from the
readings, we can talk about that, but what I wanted
to do first is give you a little different slant on things
(like I did last week with the color stuff) by adding
my voice to the mix in your heads. :)
9. Dr. Phill presents:
the 6 things we do with
graphics
In a society so intimately tied to the
nature of the visual, we use graphics
to do all sorts of heavy lifting in our
design (and in our rhetoric). The
following slides enumerate some
common ways that we use graphics
and offer examples of each.
10.
11. Use 1: to Entice
You will find that many graphics do more than one
of the things on this list, but one of the most visceral
uses of any graphics is to entice the audience, to
give them something pretty, interesting, or awe
inspiring to look at while considering your
document.
This can take many forms.
12.
13.
14.
15. Use 2: to Illustrate
Perhaps the most obvious use of an
image is to illustrate something that
is being written about, or literally to
show the “thing” being shared.
16.
17.
18.
19. Use 3: to Inform
Sometimes graphics exist simply to offer information
that the text either cannot share verbally or which is
more user-friendly, or more dramatic, to be seen in
image form.
20.
21.
22.
23.
24. Use 4: to Brand
Graphics– particularly here logos–
are one of the most powerful ways
to brand a product. In a world
currently obsessed with marketing
(even on the level of the individual),
branding is a key element in current
visual rhetoric.
25.
26.
27.
28.
29.
30. Use 5: to Visually Enhance
Sometimes graphics are present because they “spice
up” a design that is otherwise bland. It’s from this
particular use that we get the terminology “splash”
art. These images usually do one of the other things
as well, but their primary use is to enhance a layout
or otherwise make the visual presence of something
more pleasing.
31.
32.
33.
34.
35. Use 6: to Unify
Nothing pulls together a design like
the use of a nice, crisp, clean graphic
that can span the majority of a
document or can through color or
shape draw together what seem like
disconnected elements.
36.
37.
38.
39.
40.
41.
42.
43. Some team time
Take a few minutes to work with your team. Think
about what you need to coordinate, what questions
you have, where things are right now, etc. I will
circulate to check in and ask questions.
44. And now…
Penny Feltner will be presenting us a
lesson on graphic novels and, I
believe, sequential art.
It’s all yours, Penny.
