- 10:00 AM2hDesign and Branding for Scholars: Creating Professional Presentations with PowerPointVisual presentations are a key vehicle to inform and convince others. Scholars present their research at conferences, and instructors present ideas in the classroom. In creating their visual presentations, most people need to rely on their taste or on pre-manufactured templates. Few people have had the opportunity to acquire the specific knowledge and skills to make presentations visually impactful, look professional, or just aesthetically pleasing. Participants will learn about fundamental design principles — such as contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity — and branding principles, such as consistency. They will also discover the century-old craft of typography that underlies all professional visual communication, learning about the difference between typefaces and fonts and suitable combinations of typefaces. Participants will learn about master and layout slides, which make it easy to reuse designs and ensure consistency across slides. After attending this workshop, scholars will have insights to create professional presentations that effectively capture attention and distinguish them from their peers.
