Conference and event presentations
A talk on a large screen in front of a live audience has different constraints again: the room is dark, the screen is a shape you were not told about, somebody is watching from sixty feet away, and the technician needs your file two days early.
We design for that. Type sized for the back of the room, contrast that survives a washed out projector, motion used to reveal an argument in steps rather than to entertain, and files built to the exact aspect ratio and delivery format the venue asks for.
We also rehearse the deck with the speaker where that is useful, because the slides and the delivery are one thing. Adjusting a build order after hearing it spoken aloud usually improves both.
Tell us the event, the screen format and how long you have on stage. We will tell you what the deck needs to be.
Diverse industry experience:
What aspect ratio should we use?
Whatever the venue is projecting. Ask them, because a 16:9 deck on a 4:3 screen loses the top and bottom of every slide.
How large should the type be?
Larger than feels right on a laptop. If it is not readable across your own office, it will not be readable in the room.
Can you attend the event?
We can, for larger presentations, to handle the technical rehearsal and any last changes.
How far in advance do you need the content?
Two to three weeks is comfortable. Venues usually want the final file a couple of days before.
Can you include video?
Yes, embedded properly rather than linked, with a fallback in case the venue playback fails.
What about handouts?
A separate document is nearly always better than printing the slides, which read poorly on paper.
