What started as a a little rant at the end of a long day a few weeks ago has become a quest.
For years I have been highly suspicious of quite a bit of the presentation related common wisdom that is so often given and received as fact in our field. It has bothered me that there is so little hard data in an area of communication that is so important. It’s also bothered me that what little data I was aware of was 20 years old.
So we have launched a new category of VB called Presentation Facts. Starting in the next day or so, we will begin exploring what is known for sure about presentations and presentation visuals. ..or at least what can be supported with reasonably well done research. I think there is more out there in terms of good research than I first thought. We will also explore presentation common wisdom and try to determine the origins and validity of some of the notions many of us have taken for granted.
We are committed to posting only well researched and referenced information in this category… and we hope you will join in with a lively and thought provoking discussion.
