 Good introduction to ppt August 20, 2008
M. Duncan (CA, USA)
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book had some great points and would be helpful for anybody that does PPT regulary to better understand some of the issues with powerpoint. Nancy is a good personable writer and the book was approachable and interesting. The book is more focussed on the overall presentation experience. I dont think this book would provide much new to a graphic designer but good for a non-designer to better understand ppt. I would recomment Presentation Zen as being another excellent book - perhaps a little better - at providing some good thoughts on how to present and what to avoid.
A Must-Have for Seminar Presenters August 20, 2008
Jo Ana Starr (USA)
7 out of 10 found this review helpful
I'm a trainer, offering live seminars which we convert to video presentations for our distance learners. I'm comfortable with creating good video, but not so with creating strong slide presentations. For years, we've felt the need for dynamic slide presentations that would heighten the excitement we work to build in our seminars. The slide presentations we created or had created for us, relayed information but they seemed flat to me, not what we were going for.
If you're hoping to create a great slide presentation or a great visual presentation of any sort, you will find that this book shows you how to do so. You will learn how to avoid kicking the audience into the yawn zone by creating presentations that have power and impact.
If you are even considering the possibility of creating a slide presentation, please consider picking up this book sooner than later. The author will help you to put together a strong presentation that will get your message across to your audience in a powerful and interesting way. This book is highly recommended.
Well worth adopting... August 17, 2008

...for your personal professional library. Or, for those of you who are mentors, coaches and teachers, the book should be required (or at least a supplemental class text) for either Business Communication, Marketing Communication, or Public Speaking. Slide:ology reaches a broad audience because it offers a new way to think about presentations. It also provides practical examples and inside tips for the beginners on how to turn words into visual images. Even if you are veteran slide-jock or designer, you should find Slide:ology useful and an enjoyable read. Chapters 2 and 3 alone are well worth the investment!
Tells too much August 13, 2008

I wanted to know how Duarte makes such an impact telling stories and now I know. Seemed a little expensive, but the value is there. This conversational book is a great read and reference.
Great ideas, great design! Just a very great book. August 12, 2008

Nancy Duarte has designed a winner with her first book - and it's an instant classic on presentation design. Not only will anyone be able to make MUCH better presentations, they will have fun learning how. Whether beginner or expert, Nancy helps anyone get to the top of their game in making a impact through presenting their ideas visually.
It's also interesting and inspiring reading as well, and goes far beyond presentations. The success of Duarte Design is well deserved, and you'll see why in reading this book.
