Extreme Presentation Makeover!
 Abstract:
Plastic surgery for your PowerPoints? Free and painless? Results guaranteed? Come see the unretouched photos, the before and afters. Enough already with the timeworn templates and clipart, the “teleprompter” slideshows with screen after screen of boring, bulleted text! Time to nip that text and tuck away those lame pieces of clipart. Time to make your presentations as beautiful as the heart and soul of their presenter.
While this presentation uses a lot of humor, and plays with the concept of before and afters, we are very serious about the power and purpose of visually rich presentations. Humans process visuals 60,000 times faster than text. Visuals have been shown to improve learning by 400%. We are not talking about superficial beauty or decorative frou-frou. Along with the very practical tips and strategies on color, humor, images, typefaces, charts, graphs and templates, we interweave critical research findings on brain-based and pedagogical imperatives for visuals in presentations. In a world where What You Get Is What You See (WYGIWYS™), we must put our best images forward and use them to speak with the kind of immediacy, impact and lasting impression that words alone can never achieve.
