COURSE DESCRIPTION
In this 90-minute virtual training, participants will learn skills to design visually compelling slide decks and handouts as companion pieces for meetings and presentations.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After this session participants will be able to:
- Select content that is memorable, motivational, and aligns with your audience
- Ditch the “slideument” in favor of visual aids that enhance your information without losing or dividing attention
- Edit content to reduce information-overload and emphasize key ideas
- Create polished slides and print materials with thoughtful use of color palettes, fonts, and images
- Design data visualizations with a focus on audience engagement and understanding
PRESENTERS
Jamie Comstock and Robin Carr founded Info Inspired in 2014, after many years of designing and giving presentations with no formal training in this area, and watching their public health colleagues struggle with the same skills gap.
Both are certified prevention specialists with 30 years’ combined experience in the field.
They’ve spent the last several years researching and testing ways to not only capture and hold an audience’s attention, but to also inspire audiences. They’ve spent countless hours refining the presentation planning process, identifying free resources, and learning how to maximize the tools they already had.
It’s also important to know that they aren’t graphic designers, artists, or especially tech savvy. Everything they do, you can do too.
They’ve presented at the Community Anti Drug Coalitions of America’s Leadership Forum, the Maine Public Health Association Annual Meeting, the New England Institute of Addiction Studies, the New England School of Best Practices, and provided training and technical assistance to non-profit organizations throughout New England. They have been featured on the Organizing for Change podcast and have an on-demand webinar available through the New England Prevention Technology Transfer Center.
