Bliv medlem af LibraryThing for at finde ud af, om du vil kunne lide denne bog. Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. Great information, but also a bit puffy. A book about clear presentation design that's less concise than it preaches should be problematic, but I disagree in the case of Presentation Zen because I think it allows a more thorough immersion for the readers who want it. The real travesty is the sheer number of astonishingly terrible presentations forced upon captive audiences every day (I'm looking at you Corporate World). Anything to combat that is a win by my standards. Visually it is a beautiful book that shows off Garr Reynolds design skills. If you like discussing design and the art behind it, then this book is for you. However if you want to improve your presentations this book offers very little. The useful information in the book could be condensed to about 20 pages; you are better off searching the web for articles on basic design principles. I picked it up hoping to improve my presentations, I walk away knowing about a few more free picture sites and having seen some great examples of slides but not having learnt very much. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Of course it’s boring - would you hold up cue cards to an audience and then READ THE SAME CUE CARDS - no? So why does a digital projector and PowerPoint make it a good idea?
But PowerPoint is worse than that - with PowerPoint you can put a buzzword next to a graph - next to a picture and with a swish fade effect and for some bizarre reason that makes the buzzword important.
People say - 'don't read the words on the slide'
Well, why HAVE the bloody slide then?
Does the slide say something MORE IMPORTANT than what you are saying? If it does well.. why aren't you just saying it?
In fact if what you are saying can be said just as well on a slide show, why bother turning up at all? Just press play and go home.
We HAVE a system of text and images that conveys information – it’s called the internet. It way better than PowerPoint and I don't need anyone talking over it while I look at it.
Death to PowerPoint.
Death to seminars.
Death to people who wear those clip microphones.
Bring back good speakers who can keep you interested and answer questions as they go along.
Powerpoint no more makes someone a presenter than having a typewriter makes them a novelist. But many people fail to notice that. I have sat through far too many dull presentations in my time, and succeeded in staying awake during some only by gnawing on my own wrist. ( )
