Creating Presentations That Persuade Many moons ago, when I was just a young chap going through nursing school, I had an instructor whose entire class consisted of PowerPoint slides that she would quote. In the years that have followed, I can’t count the number of bad presentations that I’ve sat through, but I’ve also seen some pretty great ones along the way. Today, we’re going to talk about the latter, and how to craft presentations that persuade. It doesn’t necessarily matter what tools you use, whether it be PowerPoint, Keynote, Prezi or even something like Paper on the iPad. What counts is how you choose to compile your presentation, from the information through the visuals. The great presentations tell a story, and they tell it in a way that makes you want to know more, instead of being just another lackluster meeting through which you have to sit. So how do you tell the story? Gather the Goods One of the hardest thing for presenters to do, from my experiences, is convey their message in a clear, concise manner.

Forum: Dreamweaver Name: Ben PleysierContributor since: 2007 Born in the Netherlands, Ben moved to Australia as a young boy with his parents. He completed an Industrial Engineering course at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology before deciding to retrace his heritage in Europe. His overseas stint lasted 17 years, slightly longer than the anticipated 1 year. In this time, he married and became a two time Dad. More than 30 years ago, Ben and family decided to relocate (back) to Melbourne. Now, in his third youth, Ben has been retrained as a web developer. Dreamweaver, Fireworks, ColdFusion and MS-Access played a great part in his early web development projects. Ben’s great secret, which he prefers no one knows about, is that he is design (as in graphics) blind; but adds that Fireworks helps to camouflage the handicap.
