| 17 May 2016 | Print Only Presentations (Episode #6) | 00:54:21 | |
Episode 6 - Show Notes SummaryPowerPoint was initially created to replace overhead transparencies and 35mm slides; that's why we still call each page a slide. But today, PowerPoint is also used as a layout and desktop publishing tool. A lot of people shudder at the thought of that or try to deny that they're doing it, but the fact is, PowerPoint can, and should, be used as a tool for creating documents and print-only presentations that will never be projected.

| 02 Jul 2019 | Grids, Guides and Gutters | 01:06:03 | |
Episode 81 - Grids and Guidelines are two hidden PowerPoint features that few know of, or use. Most do not know they originate from traditional print design and are very powerful design tools for slide design. Even if you cannot immediately recognize them, chances are that virtually every professionally designed print layout is making use of a grid in some way. Gutters are a standard print design element, adapted as "Safe View Area" for video projects, and often overlooked and not addressed in presentation design. Join Nolan, Sandy and Troy, as they get a bit design geeky and talk about how these three traditional design tools can be leveraged in presentation design.

Episode #205: If you use PowerPoint, having a base understanding of font file types and options is important. A new whitepaper by Microsoft MVP for PowerPoint Julie Terberg, titled "Choosing fonts for PowerPoint templates" is a (free!) great resource. Displaying letters, numbers, and symbols takes layers of complex behind-the-scenes code. And if a non-Microsoft font is used, the complexity becomes more complex - and if the non-Microsoft fonts are not available on that computer, or not recognized on that computer, the slide design can go to $#@!. On this episode Troy, Nolan, and Sandy enjoy time conversing with Julie Terberg about fonts in PowerPoint presentations.
