Design Principles for Presentations

Design Principles for Presentations
Thursday, Feb. 27 | noon – 1:30 pm
159 Wisconsin Idea Room, Education Building | Communication

As students we have all suffered through bad PowerPoint presentations. Whether you’re presenting your research, teaching, or creating a presentation for a job, utilizing principles of effective design can be the difference between an engaged audience and a sea of glazed-over eyes. In this workshop, DesignLab Associate Director Mandy Morrow will share techniques to analyze and improve the Conceptual, Aesthetic, and Technical (CAT) aspects of your research or scholarly project. We will discuss how to structure your presentation for your audience, explore common mistakes/errors, and provide you with tools to communicate your desired message clearly and effectively. Lunch will be provided, with vegetarian and gluten-free options available.
