Slide: Ology: The Art and Science of Creating Great Presentations

Coming from a software background I have had little interest in designing slides and presentations until now! The reader is taken on a wonderful journey through design concepts that will ultimately help you deliver well presented and more informative slides. What a brilliant and memorable book.

Lo hojeé en versión electrónica y lo regalé a un buen amigo, profesional de la edición creativa. El acabado en papel es maravilloso, la edición muy cuidada y, sobre todo, el contenido es muy arrollador para quienes utilizamos presentaciones desde el punto de vista académico: nos ayuda a potenciar nuestro contenido desde la mejora de la parte comunicativa visual. Impecable. Al regalo le salieron "novios" ipso facto.

A great resource any professional can use towards improving the quality of their presentations! Product arrived in the timeframe that was promised and in the quality stated.

Together with PresentationZen: Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery , you can envision being confortable and fluent at designing compelling presentations. This books focus mainly on the (graphical) design aspect (whereas PresentationZen puts this emphasis on the approach and methodology). You'll learn a lot by the repetitively 'before-after' approach: a bad slide compares with its refactored version; impressive. You will get another perception of your favourite presentation tool (PowerPoint, Keynote, Impress). This book should not be read as a novel (from page 1 to the end) but rather should you muse regularly some good tips and hints.
