slide:ology

Nancy Duarte, principal of Duarte Design since 1990, is devoted to the presentation development and design specialty. Duarte Design, one of Silicon Valley's major design businesses and a top woman-owned business in the area, is one of the world's few agency dedicated completely on presentations, whether presented in person, online, or via mobile device. Nancy's twenty years of working with global companies and thought leaders has changed the perception of some of the world's most valuable brands as well as many of humanity's common problems.

No matter where you are on the corporate ladder, chances are you've given a high-stakes presentation to your peers, employer, customers, or the broader public. One of the few technologies that demands professionals to think visually on a daily basis is presentation software. Effective visual expression, unlike verbal abilities, is not easy, natural, or actively taught in schools or business training programs. That void is filled by slide:ology.

This book, written by Nancy Duarte, President and CEO of Duarte Design, the firm that developed the presentation for Al Gore's Oscar-winning film, An Inconvenient Truth, is full of practical ways to visual story building that anybody can apply. The book blends creative thinking with inspired design, as well as instructive case studies from the world's most successful firms. Slide:ology will teach you how to:

• Contact particular audiences
• Transform your ideas into helpful graphics.
• Make good use of sketching and diagramming skills.
• Create graphics that allow audiences to easily process information.
• Create highly persuasive presentations.
• Make the most of presenting technologies.

Millions of presentations and billions of slides have been created, and the vast majority of them fall short of expectations. By teaching you how to be a visual thinker, slide:ology will challenge your typical approach to designing slides. It will also boost your career by building momentum for your cause.
