This easy-to-read, comprehensive story takes you through the visual side of the presentation process. The first part of the book discusses visual design and includes dozens of full-color examples for creating presentations with less clutter and more impact. The second part of the book covers delivery skills, including body language, gestures and interaction. You can create a powerful visual impression, not from using images with special effects, but from images which especially affect your audience in some positive way! You will learn how to correctly develop a goal for your presentation, how to hold and build the attention span of your audience through the effective use of eye movement, and how to affect the emotions of the audience by using color. In addition, you'll learn ways to enhance your presentation delivery style using proper gestures, body movement and vocal techniques. All in all, you will understand how to create clear, concise and more powerful presentations and recognize ways to deliver those events more effectively.

Thin But Heavy,
By
This review is from: Purpose, Movement, Color: A Strategy for Effective Presentations (Paperback)
This book has the best concise discussion, with accompanying examples, about the color and style of visual aids that I've read/seen--and I make my living teaching business people how to make effective presentations. If the topic interests you, buy the book. It's thin, but it's a heavyweight in that area.
