Excellent material...

Over the last few weeks, I've been reading through the book Looking Good In Presentations by Molly Joss. I figured since I have the Lotusphere presentation coming up, I might as well get some expert instruction on how to build a good slide presentation. This book contains a wealth of information on how (and how *not*) to structure your presentation. It covers media, design and layout, typeface, graphs and diagrams, multimedia, and many other topics. It's easy to read, and all the information is practical. If you find yourself needing to put together presentations for talks, you would do well to get this book and pick up some pointers on how to do it right. Now... just don't judge my presentation by this... :-)

Excellent book for those who think they know

I thoughht I knew a lot about powerpoint presentations....until I saw this book. I would call this thirty bucks well spent!

A must-read if you make presentations.

The book is thorough and well written, containing many details one wouldn't normally think of. Ms. Joss not only explains what features make a good presentation, but also why, which helps to make the lessons stick. She goes off on a tangent a little bit by discussing Web page development, but it is still an excellent book.
