Learn the 5 tips to make your presentation clearer and more memorable. Tip 1: Put your conclusion on the title Most presenters use vague slide titles like Our Sales Performance. Always put the conclusion from your slide on the slide title. See this table of data on a slide: Since the conclusion is clearly mentioned on the title, audience’s eyes are naturally led to the relevant numbers on the table. Tip 2: Highlight your inference A lot of presenters lose their audience because they make them think. Realize that not everyone in your audience likes to crunch numbers. See the PowerPoint slide with clear graph below: The areas that depict losses and profits are highlighted clearly in different colors. All that is left for the audience to do is to read the conclusion on the title and see the proof (assertion-evidence method) in the body of the slide to move forward.
The Principles of Design The web professional's online magazine of choice. In: Columns > Design in Theory and Practice By Joshua David McClurg-Genevese Published on June 13, 2005 Starting with the Basics This column is about Web design—really, it is—though it may at times seem a bit distant and distracted. We can group all of the basic tenets of design into two categories: principles and elements. Web design is a relatively new profession compared to other forms of design, due to the youth of our medium. How Does Web Design Fit In?

How to Focus a Presentation This post was written by Scott Schwertly Scott is the Founder and CEO of Ethos3. One of the most difficult tasks when fashioning a presentation is the process of sorting through the myriad of available information and turning it into a coherent outline with a few main points and one clear focus. Think of your presentation as a photomosaic, a large photo composed of lots of little pictures. A great way to start this process is by unloading anything and everything that comes to mind concerning your upcoming presentation. He writes that the secret of the data dump is that it “must be part of your preparation, not the presentation.” The best time to focus your presentation is during the brainstorming period before you’ve created an outline or even opened the computer. Arrange all the information you might use for the presentation in front of you. Another effective way to narrow your presentation’s focus is by using Weissman’s WIIFY (What’s in it for you?)

Divide your artboard into several evenly spaced columns and rows, then use them as guides for your artwork placement. This enables you to focus on the creative part of your design work, such as concept, typography and atmosphere, while letting the grid guide your layout decisions. Most importantly, you will never feel intimidated by your next design project because once you create a design grid, layout options become instantly visible. Here are some great resources to get you started: 2. How do you normally decide on a logo font? 3. 4. 5.
When Typography Speaks Louder Than Words Advertisement Clever graphic designers love to use typography to explore the interaction between the look of type and what type actually says. In communicating a message, a balance has to be achieved between the visual and the verbal aspects of a design. Sometimes, however, designers explore the visual aspect of type to a much greater extent than the verbal. Cal Swan, author of Language and Typography, makes this point well when he says, “These two distinct areas often come together in practice as there is clearly a very strong relationship between the conception of the words as a message and their transmission in visible form.” To avoid any misunderstanding, let’s clarify what the terms “visual language” and “verbal language” mean. In this first of a two-part series, we will look at the powerful effect that typography has in taking control of meaning. We all have different cultural backgrounds and experiences that affect our perception of type one way or another. Further Resources
