Effective grant presentations, conference presentations, research presentations, even job interview presentations require professional design
- Sisyphus and the Curse of the Pie Chart
resentation design is sisyphic. Everybody wants their message to come off clearly, yet it’s easy to lose that elusive simplicity in the maze of presentation-software options. Unlike manuscript publishing, there’s no editor around to help you stylize, tighten and double-check your work. Your peers may, but would they survive as guinea pigs in repeated dry runs? When it comes to presentation design, you’re pretty much on your own.
It doesn’t have to be this way: through design, I will improve your slides and give them a coherent theme. I will regroup your slides, condense and polish them, tighten up their design, Photoshop the images and enhance their resolution, unify font styles and embed them in the presentation file, order the slides for optimal back-and-forth browsing, and add animated / interactive effects. Your content will look more current and up-to-date, will have better order and flow, and will support you when you deliver your message with ease – all while respecting academic conventions.
I’m a media designer specializing in audio, video, illustration and infographics. I advocate a pragmatic, functional approach to communication design. I’ve worked remotely with presentation authors from the EU, the US, and Israel (references). In over twenty years of digital media design I had the opportunity to create fun infographics for leading newspapers, illustrate schoolbooks and blogged in MindCET edu-tech. My Presentations were used in TV interviews with the authors/presenters. My whiteboard animation explainer video won the YouTube-sponsored Made for Web award.
