Description

Whether you’re a university professor, researcher at a think tank, graduate student, or analyst at a private firm, likelihood is that that someday you have presented your work in front of an audience. Most of us approach this task by converting a written document into slides, but the result is frequently a text-heavy presentation saddled with bullet points, stock images, and graphs too complex for an audience to decipher―much less consider. Presenting is fundamentally different from writing, and with only a little more time, a little more effort, and a little more planning, you’ll communicate your work with force and clarity.

Designed for presenters of scholarly or data-intensive content, Better Presentations details essential strategies for developing clear, sophisticated, and visually captivating presentations. Following three core principles―visualize, unify, and focal point―Better Presentations describes how to visualize data effectively, find and use images correctly, select sensible fonts and colors, edit text for powerful delivery, and restructure a written argument for maximum engagement and persuasion. With a range of clear examples for what to do (and what not to do), the practical package offered in Better Presentations shares the most productive techniques to display work and the most productive tactics for winning over audiences. It pushes presenters past the frustration and intimidation of the process to more effective, memorable, and persuasive presentations.
