Presentation Zen

FOREWORD BY GUY KAWASAKI

Presentation designer and internationally acclaimed communications expert Garr Reynolds, creator of the most popular Web site on presentation design and delivery on the net — presentationzen.com — shares his experience in a provocative mix of illumination, inspiration, education, and guidance that will change the way you think about making presentations with PowerPoint or Keynote. Presentation Zen challenges the conventional wisdom of making "slide presentations" in today’s world and encourages you to think differently and more creatively about the preparation, design, and delivery of your presentations. Garr shares lessons and perspectives that draw upon practical advice from the fields of communication and business. Combining solid principles of design with the tenets of Zen simplicity, this book will help you along the path to simpler, more effective presentations.

加尔·雷纳德（Garr Reynolds）是一位幻灯片设计师，也是一位全球知名的交流专家。他用朴素的道理、生动的案例阐述了幻灯片设计的基本理念和根本原则。这些原则和方法可以帮助职场人士以一个独特、简便、直观、自然和针对性的角度看待幻灯片演示，使其从设计和演示幻灯片的苦海中解脱出来。特别是把禅宗秉持简约的原则与PPT制作演示相互关联，更可以使我们能够从思想之高峰看待如何制作PPT。
