Session Description
Let’s face it… most authors use a slide deck at some point in time. Are your slides stagnant or do they leave your audience spellbound and eager to share? Join in this fast-paced session interspersed with thought-provoking dialogues to level up how you communicate with visuals and your own content. We will blend research-based strategies, tips for organizing content, designing slides (including theme, template, and layout), purposefully using images, color, and data, and delivering memorable presentations. This savory session will culminate with a toolkit of support resources including an infographic, curated research and examples, and a list of tools that can support you with both design and appropriate use of creative commons images. You will find that Shaping Slides feeds your hunger for both compelling content and inspiration for irresistible ways to be your own digital architect.
