Slide:ology WorkshopAn education in visual thinking

SLIDE:OLOGY WORKSHOPTurn Ideas Into VisualsMost of us aren’t designers, yet wecreate presentations all the time.When we design slides, we can fall into classic traps–overusing bullet points, cramming multiple ideas onone slide, using lots of colors, shapes, and fonts. Whenwe present to an audience, these slides don’t doour ideas any favors.We blame PowerPoint when we wind up withcluttered unattractive slides, but presentationsoftware is just a vehicle for our communication.We forget that it’s our job to communicate our idea,so we often show visuals that obscure that idea,because visual expression isn’t easy or intuitive.We may not have learned it in school but learning tothink visually is crucial in persuasive communication.2
