Does all the corporate presentation look the same? Boring plain corporate template?

David Anderson demonstrates, in this online tutorial, how to create a different slide design for your next presentation. It is a magazine cutout look.

This tutorial is for E-learning Design and Development. However, as it is based on PowerPoint, we can use some of its ideas for public speaking.

UPDATE: Vivek Singh published some pertinent observations about this magazine cutout look:

1. Situation: You need to know when to use this technique and how. This template design should be used for informal situations and definitely not for quarterly review presentations. However, marketers and advertising professionals do have some more ‘creative’ liberty to use it in formal settings.

If you use PowerPoint or Keynotes or another software while you are presenting, you can choose between different styles of design.

  • Assertion-evidence slidePresentation Zen style developed by Garr Reynolds (via speakingaboutpresenting.com)
  • Classic PresentationZen
  • Lessig Method
  • Duarte Design Diagrams
  • Ethos3 story-telling style
  • Comic style
  • Pecha Kucha
  • Kawasaki Method (aka the 10/20/30 Rule)
  • Takashi Method
  • Beyond Bullet Points Method
  • The boring Bullet Point. That is the most popular and less effective method.


For description of each method, you can read two excellent blog posts

  1. PowerPoint Design Methods by Presentation Advisors

  2. The Top 7 PowerPoint slide designs by Olivia Mitchell


Also, I wrote a post on the presenter responsibility vs. the design of the slides. Are you responsible for the horrible slides?
