    Hi Everyone. A few months ago we launched Visme for Infographics (DIY infographics which was a trending PH of the day: https://www.producthunt.com/post... and thought we should work on a book next. Today we're introducing you to our recent eBook on how you can create compelling Presentations. Love it or hate it Presentations and slide decks are an integral part of communication, but we often see non-designers (which is 95%+ of professionals out there) have little to no knowledge of basic principles of design and what makes a Presentation have impact with your audience or just down right look clean and compelling. So we got to work and spent a ton of time creating this complementary 120 page visual guide you can tap into and improve your Presentation skills regardless of what your tool of choice is. I invite you to check it out. Love to hear your feedback and your thoughts on it. thanks!

    FANTASTIC! Wonderful work!! Lots of great concepts and models to use in here for presentations of many types (and even if you don’t use PowerPoint). I would just add one caution re: pitch decks. Pitch decks need to be really readable in print and easily shareable as PDF so techniques like builds, video, animations, broad color backgrounds, and so on can make that tricky. Pitch decks are closer to documents that need to stand on their own versus “presented”.

    making good design accessible to everyone who is creating slides/powerpoints is a noble endeavour indeed

    @aadilayub Thanks for taking notice Aadil. We spent a lot of time putting this together and rather than making it complicated ; our focus was to keep it simple and to the point with lot of visuals to help improve retention.
