The discussion:
Design Principles – Martin and Sallie return to their book discussion of Presentation Zen, by Garr Reynolds, with a look at chapter 6 of the book. This chapter is “worth the price of admission” because of the many before and after slide transformations which are demonstrated. Concepts of signal-to-noise ratio, respect for empty space, imagery, and concept alignment are discussed.
