Who doesn’t love a pretty slide deck? 

Alongside our voice and our words, our slides are an important instrument in our presenter’s toolbox. And we should learn to use them as effectively as we can. Our decks are one of the key ways to get our point across to our audiences, and we need to learn how to be as effective as we can with our slide decks.

The choices you make in your slide design directly influences what impact your story has on your audience. We can get a better understanding of slide design, by looking at design theory and understanding how we can use design principles to create more memorable and helpful presentations.

In this talk, I'll share various principles of slide design, so that you can create more compelling slides and help your audience absorb the information you’re presenting. It will examine how you can use fonts, colours, animations and more to support the story you want to tell, and create more impactful presentations.
