Boring to Bold: Presentation Design Ideas for Non-Designers

Oct 23, 2011165 likes131,728 views

This document provides presentation design ideas for non-designers to make their presentations more engaging. It recommends having a clear plan and purpose, telling a story with three acts, minimizing text, using powerful images, choosing fonts and slide layouts wisely, rehearsing, and delivering with confidence. Presenters should know their audience, brainstorm their key message, and make slides beautiful yet simple while focusing on one idea per slide. Rehearsing and dressing professionally can also boost delivery, and providing handouts reinforces the content. The overall goal is to make audiences feel something rather than just informing them.

From Chaos to Clarity - A Framework to Maximize Design Impact.pdfmatthewjdoty

Ever feel like your design team's brilliance is getting lost in the shuffle? You're not alone. Many design teams, brimming with talent and passion, find their impact muted by misaligned priorities, stretched capacities, and fuzzy expectations. Leaders crave measurable outcomes, while designers yearn to make meaningful contributions. So, how do we bridge this gap? Enter the Design Impact Assessment—a straightforward yet transformative framework designed to harness the full potential of UX, CX, and product design teams. Impact isn’t magic—it’s math. Capability × Capacity ÷ Priority. This simple formula reveals why some teams thrive while others struggle. We’ll break it down and show you how to apply it for real results. In this session, you'll discover how to: ✅ Find out where your team shines—and where it needs a boost ✅ Identify what’s slowing your team down and fix it fast ✅ Align your team’s work with the goals that matter most Whether you're a designer eager to amplify your influence or a leader striving to synchronize your team's objectives with broader business ambitions, this talk offers actionable insights and tools to drive meaningful change. Chaos or clarity? The choice is yours. With the right approach, design becomes the powerhouse driving business success. Let’s make it happen.
