As a presentation designer I am often asked to ‘tell a story’ within the slides I build.
This is accomplished via making content appear in compelling ways that can be easily understood, in a consistently interesting way and offering a call to action.
The best selling book “Building a StoryBrand” by Donald Miller presents a clear path from the marketers mind into a playbook for designers when requested to tell a story, visually.
It’s one of the reasons why I love presentation design.
A core requirement is to rapidly apply the best in graphic design, coupled with a little something extra.
This book outlines the process nicely. Highly recommended for anyone writing, building or designing a presentation.
