From Data to Impact: Designing Presentations That Connect
Great research deserves a presentation that captures attention, drives engagement, and helps your audience truly understand the data and insights behind it.
Jessie Andrade, Experience Strategist & Designer at Abercrombie & Fitch, and Amy Turner Senftleben, Senior Graphic Designer & Illustrator at M Agency, will share practical design principles, examples, and tips for creating more compelling and visually engaging presentations.
We’ll cover what makes a research deck visually strong, how to simplify complex information, common design pitfalls, and simple changes that can make your next presentation more effective.
Three Key Takeaways:
- Design principles researchers can actually use: Practical guidance for creating presentations that are clear, compelling, and visually engaging.
- Ways to make complex research easier to absorb: Techniques for simplifying information, creating visual hierarchy, and guiding your audience to the insights that matter most.
- A sharper eye for what makes a deck work: Examples of strong and weak presentation design, plus common pitfalls that can undermine even excellent research.
