Seth's Blog: Really Bad Powerpoint - 0 views

  • Four Components To A Great PresentationFirst, make yourself cue cards. Don’t put them on the screen.
  • Four Components To A Great PresentationFirst, make yourself cue cards. Don’t put them on the screen.
  • Second, make slides that reinforce your words, not repeat them.

  • Third, create a written document.
  • Fourth, create a feedback cycle.
  • Here are the five rules you need to remember to create amazing Powerpoint presentations: No more than six words on a slide. EVER. There is no presentation so complex that this rule needs to be broken. No cheesy images. Use professional stock photo images. No dissolves, spins or other transitions. Sound effects can be used a few times per presentation, but never use the sound effects that are built in to the program. Instead, rip sounds and music from CDs and leverage the Proustian effect this can have. If people start bouncing up and down to the Grateful Dead, you’ve kept them from falling asleep, and you’ve reminded them that this isn’t a typical meeting you’re running. Don’t hand out print-outs of your slides. They don’t work without you there.
  • Powerpoint could be the most powerful tool on your computer. But it’s not. Countless innovations fail because their champions use PowerPoint the way Microsoft wants them to, instead of the right way. Communication is the transfer of emotion.

MediaPost Publications 5 Things Marketers Can Learn From Stories 06/12/2012 - 0 views

  • Storytellers cause you to see what you see, but do little to cause the way you think or feel about what you see. Doing so would be like the comedian explaining the punch line of his joke. 
  • Creating a differentiated brand identity may influence buying. But creating strong brand identification will influence joining. It’s always better to have joiners than buyers. Joiners are the ones who remain buyers and wear your logos.

  • But you’re definitely on the lowest end of the A.V. Club spectrum of opinion. (Nathan and I both put it on our top 10 list for 2010; it was my No. 3, and it’s my most rewatched film of 2010; Keith is a fan as well.)

  • Sucker Punch (Schoolgirls kicking ass! Nazi robot monsters! Dragons!) and Drive Angry (Nicolas Cage shot out of hell! Slo-mo bloodbaths aplenty! Non-stop badassery! In 3-D!) that are not, in fact, awesome. The latter, I compared to a Steve Vai solo album: That much virtuosity, without modulation, can wind up seeming paradoxically bland and homogenous

      Name-dropping movies that weren't good, also the Steve Vai comparison. Both ethos and pathos.

      The shade of yellow determines the meaning. Pure, bright and sunny yellow is the easiest color to see. People who are blind to other colors can usually see yellow. Yellow is full of creative and intellectual energy. the bright yellow color on the logo creates reasoning and emotion.

Sundance Guest Ranch - Welcome - 3 views

      The photos of the older style saddles once again brings the idea to mind that you can escape the city by climbing into one of these saddles and riding into the sunset ranch.
    • Kayla Fagg
       
      "The first time, it's a vacation- after that, it's coming home." creates this idea that ranch is the place you will come 'home' and you will consistantly re-visit. The phrase 'coming home' has a positive connotation and tended to create a warm-fuzzy feeling within a person.
  • This is it - this is your ranch, only four hours from Vancouver, Canada!

    Sundance guest ranch does an awesome job with making a 'city folk' feel like they can buy a 'weekend pass' of the cowboy lifestyle. The main photo has the cowboy standing in an authentic way as he and his horse looks onto the ranch. This is a photo that you may see in a western painting. The text constantly refers back to the ranch as being 'home' which has a very positive connotation for many people.

      I think this is a mistake because the waste of research and resources is quite large. It is useless at that mileage range, therefore efforts in electric car technology advancement shouldn't be towards the most energy consuming cars. Efforts should be concentrated towards efficiency as opposed to brute force. That will eventually lead to this unreasonable attempt.

      This banner is successful in reminding the reader of current fund-raising events, programs and important information. It is successful because it remains constant on all pages/sections of the entire Heart and Stroke website.
    • Antonia Gujinovic
       
      This "donate now" button is also something that stays constant in all sections of the website. The yellow colour nicely contrasts with the red background to draw more attention to it.  The only downside of this "donate now" button is the size. A bigger size would draw more attention to it. Thus potentially getting more donations.

      The side bar is a great way of keeping important sections of the website always in the readers view. The Canvass Online box is something that stays on top as the most important item on all pages. The consistency and repetitiveness of the side bar on all sections of the web site is a great way of getting more people to sign up. Also the colour scheme again is important here. It sticks to the red colour representing heart health.
