The Non-Designer´s Presentation Book - R. Williams

These days, it's not just corporate marketing directors tasked with giving computer-based presentations—anyone forced to stand in front of a crowd and talk for more than three minutes had better know how to put together a slide presentation. What do you do? You're not a professional designer, but you want your slides to look professional.

In The Non-Designer's Presentation Book, Robin expands upon the design principles introduced in her award-winning Non-Designer's series.
