What constitutes "Good" or "Bad" design? A lot has to deal with personal preferences or even more basically, how you may have been instructed to view design issues. One key element to think about when creating your presentations is to design for your audience, not yourself. Craft the information that you want to present into the "bells and whistles" of the presentation. Use whatever "bells and whistles" that you create to enhance the message, don't inadvertently create distractors. The best sources of visual design examples and principals that I have found and incorporated into my presentations comes from Claudyne Wilder and Jennifer Rotondo. Their two products...the book "Point, Click & Wow" A Quick Guide to Brilliant Laptop Presentations and their CD, "Slides That Win" Your Roadmap to Success join together to produce the quintessential coupling of Designing for PowerPoint®. My recommendation...buy both of these products and get busy. You can purchase the "Slides That Win" CD and "Point, Click & Wow" by visiting Wilder Presentations. The following design examples pictured gives you an idea of how the information and design tips are constructed to point out areas that need to be addressed. Other files found on this page are either image files or PowerPoint® Shows and have been created by using the "save as image" feature in PowerPoint® and allow you to see the final products without any instructions or tips. These slides are not indicative of the Slides That Win cd, but merely various images that are contained within the program. |
