Adopt the beginners mind

Your target audience...

brand savvy consumer children...

More than 50% of children’s Christmas wishes mention a specific brand name

Insight Quarterly news report: Issue 1

Bad design and presentation never

killed anyone, but it never inspired

anyone either!

Take a look at this guy!

So, our aim is to learn some basics of good design and

keep things simple, balanced and above all,

Beautiful!

Check out “Presentation Zen: Simple ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery” by Garr Reynolds .

Garr’s book

Simplify as much as you can, but not much more

Go Visual!

Make your image fill up the whole slide. Yes,

right up to the edge! Place your text inside it.

Go Visual!

Empty space allows us to appreciate what is not there,

& makes our visual messages stronger.

& makes our visual messages stronger.

Use less than seven words in

each slide. Trust me!

Let the image tell your story!

Use your image to draw out students high order thinking skills.

We are hardwired to understand images.

Going visual improves

communication.

Good presentations target students “left brain” &

“right brain”.

communication.

Practice restraint

Sample Slides

A good image allows students to think, wonder and reflect on an issue. A great image can help tell the story in a way bullet points never can.

What will this place

look like in 1000 years

How would he describe this

place in a phone call to you, right now?

Explain the events of the last 24 hours.

You are in charge. What needs to go on this plane?

Clarify your intentions

“Builds”

A “build” is where we repeat the image and add more text

giving yourself and your students time to digest information.

YES!you can use humour to get the message across to your audience!

YES!children catch simple messages that are fun to remember!

Think communication, not decoration

Vision beats all our other

senses, so...

Absolutely no bullet points!

Students quickly tire of bullet points. What other options do you have?

If you have to use them, save them for

the last slide!

Make it easy on the eye!

Think about the image you are using. A good quality image speaks a thousand words!

Helvetica is very good!

Comic Sans MS?

I See No Evil?!!!

Comic Sans MS? Professional designers do not use this font, so why

should we?

I See No Evil?!!!

Become a master storyteller

Practice before presenting

Don’t be tempted to read the text straight from the slide!

But what about the detail? Well, the slide

should lead to the worksheet, or textbook, so pupils can learn more.
