Looking at presentations

Today was my second presentation, well, on presentation (techniques). After reading presentationzen, I have been trying to train my creative side and go for an innovative approach. It was very well received by my colleagues. Since there is so much to tell about presentations, I split it up into several sessions (today was nr. 1). I have been roaming slideshare.net looking for presentations that I like so I could compare them to my own. My presentations were not that technical until now. Since my colleagues sometimes have to give quite technical presentations, I was looking for an example to keeps the "zen" approach and still provide a lot of information. This one is as close as I could find:

The following were other presentations that I liked. I would change some things here and there but overall not bad. Some are quite different in design:

• http://www.slideshare.net/merlinmann/inbox-zero-actionbased-email
  
• http://www.slideshare.net/jharwig/javascript-security
  
• http://www.slideshare.net/jboutelle/flash-and-ajax
• http://www.slideshare.net/thecroaker/brainstorming-for-fund-and-profit
  
• http://www.slideshare.net/seilamgoh/what-is-design

For more examples, visit my slideshare favorites page. You could also have a look at the following videos. It not only show slides, but how someone presents them. These are absolutely my two favorites:

• Larry Lessig: How creativity is being strangled by the law (video)
• Steve Jobs: Macworld 2008 Keynote (video)
