CEO Presentation for Toyota

TLC Creative Services was happy to work with Toyota to develop a presentation delivered at the CAR (Center for Automotive Research) Meeting last month.

The presenter was Mr. Jim Lentz, President & CEO, Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. TLC Creative Services developed a custom template, story boarded a presentation based on the presentation script, then optimized images and designed and animated the visual layouts slides.

Just another presentation project (but this time, public information so we can share some of the design work).

Big and (Mega) HD

This meeting was really great from a presentation standpoint: 84′ wide screen (3 project blend = 5700px wide x 1080px tall) with a 30″ x 7″ PPT. Then 16×9 PIPs for the presenter presentations (each a 1080p HD projection field). This is the general session look. For the awards, I was able to design the presentation to use the entire (Mega) wide screen (no PIPs).

(Yes, that is me)

Quotes Should Not Be Bullets (A Before-and-After Example)

The supplied slide had plenty of great callouts end users, but in a bullet list it looks just like any other (boring) slide.

Taking a cue from IM (Instant Messaging) applications, each quote was put into a speech bubbles for a lively and visual slide layout. The key messaging of each is also bolded text to direct the audience.

Technology That is Not Clear (A Before-and-After Example)

This a slide from a presentation makeover project. The original slide was typical in that had some photos, screen captures and bulleted list text. The overall design was clean and (overly) compartmentalized the content.

The makeover used the same images, bullet list text and focused on grouping content. In the final slide layout, it is much easier to quickly identify the 3 topics and the bullet lists are easier to read with improved line spacing and alignment.

The Timeline Road (A Before and After Slide)

As part of the presentation makeover, I wanted to take this process, that was central to an entire section of the presentation, and create a layout that visually supported the presenter’s talk and was more engaging to the audience.

The core message was the process of engaging with a brand over many stages. The visual layout creates a road with the stages along it. Each stage is highlighted with supporting graphics.

Presenting the New “TLC Creative Services, Inc.” Logo

As part of the new design offices and needing new business cards, signage and everything else, Lori took on the task of updating our company logo – which was last revised in 2006.

All the same information, just some updated styling on the “TLC ” spheres (now vector art) and a more streamlined and modern linear feel to the text.

Look for it on the blog, website and where ever else the TLC logo appears.

Things We Do Consistently Well (a Before-and-After example)

Most every presentation software for the past 15 years has made information as bullet points the default way of visually presenting it. While efficient, and duplicate-able, it is definitely not the most attractive or memorable way to present information. Here is an example of “Bullets vs. Visual Layouts” from a recent project.

Here is the original slide – simple, consistent, boring bullet list:

Here is the slide after the presentation makeover project. It has the same information, but has some visual impact with color, shapes, layering, and speaker support animation (obviously not seen in this flat image of the slide):

You Can Quote That (a before and after example)

Quotes can be powerful in a presentation. But the visual should also be powerful. Here is the original slide:

On the good side, it is not to small of text, high contrast colors, and legible.

Here is the slide after the presentation makeover:

The quote is now on the (new) corporate template, so it ties in with the full presntation look. It is clearly a quotation with the oversize stylist quote marks. And in addition to credit (name of person being quoted) is a great image of the author.

Presenting the Lexus LF-LC Prototype

I am fortunate to work on a lot of really great projects. One constant is the content is not something I can share with others, and often it only has that great appeal when viewed in context of the staging, screens and other slides. The Lexus LF-LC is now public knowledge, so I thought I would share a few slides from the show where it was first shown.

I started with a background for the presentation that had lots of motion and energy. The content was lots of visuals and minimal text (no bullets). So working within the brand style guide here is the slide background I created for the LF-LC.

Next step was to optimize the great photography in Photoshop for each slide. The screens for this show were very large and projected in HD, so the slides and images really made fantastic visuals. Now imagine these slides 40′ wide!
