Resuscitation by powerpoint

I noticed the lack of wonder in presentation design from the start, even before I was involved in changing them.

It was as if the lights were on dim in the auditorium of creative, the doors open letting in the cold wind of boredom and the stage set in mediocrity, allowing all engagement to be snuffed out on stage like an all too tragic heroine, awaiting her lover that would never arrive.

Once I started designing presentations there was no going back, I couldn't allow the same old murky minions to trot across the podium, boring people to within an inch of leaving the presentation in search of some bad sandwiches and flat beer.

It was the dawning of me making people want to staple their bums to the seats, to stare in wonder at the message that was being conveyed, to smell, taste and inhale the content being broadcast to their senses.

They wouldn't leave wondering what happened at the presentations, they would gather hungrily dissecting the new things they'd learnt with their peers, rolling the subject around their mouths like a wonderful Bordeaux. Luxuriating in the glow of knowledge imparted upon them. It was glorious, it was magnificent, they wanted more, they were alive for the first time.
