How Your Images Can Tell Your Story For You
There are valuable lessons for the presentation designer in Molly Bang’s wonderful book, Picture This: How Pictures Work. It was written to show ‘how the visual composition of images works to engage the emotions’ and has greatly influenced the way artists, illustrators, reviewers, critics and readers look at and understand art. But the presentation designer can also take away many insights on how graphic elements can be used as a great storytelling tool.

Number 2 demonstrates a clear principle, but 4 and 8 show how this can be used to convey your message so much more effectively.
