The Non-Designer`s Presentation Book (Paperback)

These days, it's not just corporate marketing directors tasked with giving computer-based presentations--anyone forced to stand in front of a crowd and talk for more than three minutes had better know how to put together a slide presentation. But these people aren't designers, which makes them not only put together dreadful, ineffective, dull presentations, but also causes them to dread doing it.

Enter Robin Williams, the beloved, best-selling non-designer's designer (with over 700,000 copies in print!) who has taught an entire generation the basics of design and typography. In The Non-Designer's Presentation Book, Robin expands her focus to explain the four, fundamental principles of good presentation design and the logic behind those principles. She also guides the fledgling speaker through the entire process of creating a presentation from choosing the right software to organizing ideas to designing effective slides to actually presenting the presentation in a compelling manner, without passing out!

This essential guide to presentation design will teach readers:

• The four principles of design that underlie every good presentation;
• How to plan, organize, and outline your presentation;
• Specific tips on designing slides that include charts, graphs, animations, and video;
• How to put a digital presentation together whether in Keynote or PowerPoint;
• Tips for giving a presentation that will calm the nerves of even the most timid, first-time speaker.
