BEFORE

After reading Garr on Presentation Zen, a lot of people are convinced that using images is where it’s at. And that’s true – when they’re used well.
The first slide shows a low-resolution image that has been scaled to the point of pixelation. Not very attractive. What’s more, the Comic Sans font clashes with the image, and the words are hard to read.
I’ve read, by the way, that the designer of Comic Sans has made a public apology. It is surely a typeface that ought to be retired from your repertoire.
This client sends his slide deck to prospective clients. That means it should be a file size small enough to email, and the presentation ought to be easy to print out. So I used a clean white, look, a typewriter typeface, and small images.
