| Smallest Font Size for PowerPoint Slides |
| |
 |
| |
| Slides need to be aesthetic and focused–and adding so much more textual or any other content negates the very idea of well-designed slides. Adding extra content is, therefore, a compromise that you should avoid. In the real world, there will be many reasons to cram this content, and the immediate result is that designers have to
use a font size that’s smaller than what they started with. But really speaking, what is the smallest font size that you can use? Have you wondered about the smallest font size you can use on your slides? |
| |
| There's more to this question than an answer that says 24 points! |
|
| Organic Shapes with Brush Edges |
| |
 |
| |
| You get 8 shape types plus lines as part of this Organic Shapes collection. Each of these 8 shape types have 10 variants. So you end up with 80 hand-drawn shape options! Again each of these 80 shapes have 12 brush stroke styles! Plus you get the lines and arrows in 12 brush stroke styles too. Combine all variations to end up with more
than 3000 possibilities. |

| How to Gain Control of Your PowerPoint Culture |
| |
 |
| |
| Do you control your PowerPoint culture, or does PowerPoint control you? For many organizations, what appears to be a situation under control is in fact a system that’s out of control. When organizations attempt to control branding by implementing a typical PowerPoint template, they ensure their presenters overwhelm or bore their
audiences, which is a loss of control of brand. When organizations seek to control information by encouraging the use of bullet points on PowerPoint slides, they scatter their intellectual assets into unmanageable fragments, which is a loss of control of information. |

| Essential PowerPoint Skills Everyone Needs, Especially Working from Home |
| |
 |
| |
| The COVID-19 crisis has taught us that we all need to be more resilient and self-sufficient. Millions of us have found ourselves working from home without our normal in-office comforts. Many professional services firms have furloughed support staff. Even if a firm keeps its support staff on call, they’re not physically in the
same place as the professionals they assist—they’re both working from home. Your team’s PowerPoint specialist may have been laid off. Well, here’s some good news: fending for ourselves is pretty easy with the right skills and tools. Essential PowerPoint skills in particular make life easier and result in more persuasive presentations. |

Our Verbal Mind Does Not Work Without Our Visual Mind: by Ekaterina Walter and Jessica
Gioglio
"Our verbal mind does not work without our visual mind. Those of us raised in the western educational tradition find that terrifying. Pictures trivialize, drawings are silly, doodles patronize, art is decoration. These are the things we’re told in school. In this marvelous book, Ekaterina Walter and Jessica Gioglio show us how wrong we are. Thinking in pictures is our nature. Sharing those pictures has long been our dream. With the arrival of global social media,
we have a whole new set of tools to make that dream come true." |
