7 Simple Secrets for Creating Stunning Slides

posted on March 9, 2017

When was the last time you looked at a presentation slide and thought, “What’s your point?”. Yesterday, right? And it might have even been your own slide (yikes!). Presentations have become our visual voice—the way we communicate visually. Yet, on a daily basis, we see slides that are laden with words, images, and data and we have no earthly clue what the slides are saying. Whether we’re presenting to our executive board, to potential funders, or to volunteers, our slides need to clearly, visually communicate to help our audience see our point. How can we create slides that clearly communicate our message without confusing our audience?

This session entwines a bit of brain science with easy-to-use secrets for designing presentation slides that help learners and audience members see your point. We’ll explore secrets and hacks for imagery, font and more. We’ll discuss, demonstrate, and apply the secrets to sample slides donated by the audience or even your own slides.
