Rating: Don't be fooled, you won't finish the book with a degree in visual arts. You won't really get a lot of the theory either, unless you already have a degree in visual arts. However, Nancy has given an overview of the best ways to use slides to visually communicate with passion. To present well you must build on the triad; a great idea communicated through well chosen words and memorable graphics. Nancy provides the much needed introduction to the graphical portion in a way that lets most of us improve our presentations. If you don't think you can spend a few hours over the next weeks discussing fonts, logo ideas, and color schemes with your team you might want to revisit your priorities. Don't we already waste hours on slides that are forgettable in minutes? Read the book, discuss it with your team. Generate ideas, implement the best ones. Change the world.
