Product Description
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. You're not a professional designer, but you want your slides to look professional. What do you do?
Enter Robin Williams, the beloved, best-selling non-designer's designer (with over 850,000 copies of The Non-Designer's Design Book in print!) who has taught an entire generation the basics of design and typography. In The Non-Designer's Presentation Book, Robin expands upon the design principles introduced in her award-winning Non-Designer's series. She explains four fundamental principles of good design as applied to digital presentations, and adds four more principles specific to clear communication with slides.
Whether you work with a Mac or PC, PowerPoint or Keynote, let Robin guide you, in her signature, light-hearted style, through the entire process of creating a presentation—from using the right software to organizing your ideas to designing effective, beautiful slides that won't put your audience to sleep.
In this essential guide to presentation design, you'll learn:
- What makes a good presentation or a bad one
- How to plan, organize, and outline your presentation
- Four principles of designing effective presentations
- Four principles for designing beautiful slides that communicate clearly
- An exhaustive list of timeless presentation rules...that you should totally ignore

An Graphic Artist & Designing Non-Designer's Perspective November 17, 2009
W. R. Langston
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have been public speaking, writing and delivering presentations in various capacities for some thirty-five years. I study and read constantly, especially things that interest me. Nearly always I find new things to learn, new perspectives to enjoy. I smile at the reviews by people in the field who write with a university-like perspective, effectively a "Yes, but..." response to anything not coded for a faceless elite. Perhaps I'm old enough to appreciate someone trying to consistently cut through the garbage and hand practical knowledge and understanding to the "uninitiated."
These books do exactly that. Do they have everything that can be taught on the subjects? Of course not, but they certainly give help and confidence to someone struggling with getting started in the arts surrounding and supporting effective communication. I like that, and, I enjoyed all of the Non-Designer's series that I have read.
