Learning slide design from an IKEA billboard

Design Inspiration for PResentations and Publications is All Around You

I really enjoyed this post today on Presentation Zen’s website. Great messages that I hope will find there way into more corporate work.

Great design is all around you. I use Keynote on my MacBook Pro as a “digital sketch book” I find it very easy to mock up designs quickly that will be used in InDesign later. When driving down a busy road in Calgary last fall I saw a fantastic design on the side of a truck. I pulled over at the next Starbucks - never too far away - and whipped out the MacBook and used that truck as inspiration for the cover design of an upcoming publication.
