Nobody likes Power Point anymore. Have you see the hilarious "How Not to Use PowerPoint" by the fabulous Don McMillan? (click here to view)
 
Perfection. Nails the problem.
 
Today there was some discussion on Twitter about the problems of presentations – because everyone wants visuals.
 
As one brilliant twitterer pointed out this morning: “I want to give a good presentation but me blathering for an hour without visuals means they’ll all tune out.”
 
He was referred to Presentation Zen  – a terrific blog by Garr Reynolds filled with tips, snippets of good presentations, advice on visuals that really work – just a treasure trove of a blog and one worth recommending here as well.
 
So if you’re looking for some good ideas for your next presentation, here’s a great resource.
 
Volume Public Relations is constantly updating our knowledge base on how to best communicate with media, clients and prospective clients. The question of what visuals work best is a point of constant discussion, as today we find ourselves bombarded by logos, lines and lingo. How to cut through the clutter?
 
It’s a terrific challenge and one we enjoy meeting. Through resources like Presentation Zen and our fabulous network (twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and other social media) that is connected with the cutting edge 24/7, we get a lot of great ideas that we get to share, too.
 
So, check it out. And tell us what you think!
