Business Insights: Avoiding Death By PowerPoint

Wednesday, September 02, 2009
12:00-1:30pm

 Complimentary to all Roundtable Members, ZINOpreneur Select Members and Sponsors.

We all want our presentations to have enough pizzazz to keep our audience engaged, but with the myriad typefaces, themes and effects available in PowerPoint, the tendency is to overdo it, resulting in long, disorganized and visually disorienting presentations that drive an audience to distraction.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. By learning a few simple design principles you can avoid Death by PowerPoint and create presentations that communicate your message with style, grace and impact.
In Roach’s seminar you’ll learn how to create powerful presentations in these 7 easy steps:
 
1.      Strategy: Effectively plan your presentation and tailor it to your audience
2.      Aesthetics and composition: Use of the grid and manipulation of positive and negative space to create lively slides
3.      The power of three: Entertain, inform and persuade
4.      Type: Which typefaces to use and which ones to avoid like the plague
5.      Typography: Applying type for better, faster comprehension
6.      Color: Communicating with the right palate
7.      Images: Visual factors that make a powerful impact
