A quick sample slide from a recent presentation makeover. After reviewing the content we determined the real message was an abstract timeline of tasks being promised as part of the new business setup. Rather than show a bullet list, the same information was recreated in a timeline visual.

TLC is located in the wonderful Murrieta/Temecula Valley, just north of San Diego. This week, I received notice that TLC Creative Services, Inc. was selected as the Best of Murrieta “Graphic Designer” for 2014! Murrieta is a great town and we have some very talented designers in the area, at least 9 – the TLC team!
This is the 2nd year in a row TLC has received this award, and we are honored.

Here is a quick Before-and-After slide. The original slide deck was primarily all bullet list text. TLC reviewed all content and proposed layouts that minimized the bullet list format and provided more visual layouts of the same content. For this slide, in going over the content with the client, we learned the bulleted text was really the talking points for a discovery process, which we happily converted into a process diagram layout. Same message, same content, but visual layout!

Just a few slides from a recent project. Sorry, I cannot show the dynamic animations on each of these or the full presentation. But it is great to showcase slides where we get to really develop everything. On these, TLC dropped out the background on all vehicle images and created layers of content that can be separately animated in for the final slide layouts.

Amber, a TLC staff designer, has been in New York this week having lots of fun (Rocky on Broadway!) and handling the presentation graphics for a show – and by the size of her script binder, there are a lot of presentations!

Always a new challenge. This week our awards show designed to run on the San Francisco Giants AT&T Park stadium main display was a success (Yay TLC design team!).

I have been in Atlanta this week on a great show. Backstage graphics area was loaded with an array of computers for PowerPoint, Keynote, Prezi and background GFX.

This month is focused on animation. TLC does a number of presentations each year developed for clients in Prezi. The presentation design and storyboarding need to be approached a bit different than PowerPoint. One of the primary draws of using Prezi is its unique animation (motion). This is an internally developed sample Prezi presentation:

This is one animation section of a large show presentation. The goal was to visually recreate a smartphone chat look made up of user feedback on recent hotel stays, showing the power of Social Media today to influence others, friends and strangers alike. A fairly easy animation to develop in After Effects, Flash, and many other applications. Not as easy in PowerPoint’s animation, but the end result turned out great:
The slide development required first getting the visual elements approved. Then, developing the animation and having it approved. The animation is deceptively simple with a few motion paths on each slide. But it also required exact pixel accurate placement of each visual for seamless slide-to-slide animation and careful attention to the layer order of the elements.

Here is a collection of slides from a presentation makeover project that highlight some of our “simple” animation that is subtle enough to work in a very corporate environment.
Video above is these slides. Note the first animation uses slide transitions for the animation effect and making it easy for the presenter to review the presentation on printouts and “see” the animations.
