PowerPoint Tips

JUNE 14, 2014

I’ve often been surprised at how many people create PowerPoint slides to print. Here are a couple of examples: Venture capitalist pitch: Sometimes these are projected, but they are often printed and handed out to the venture capitalists around the table. Retail store sales presentation: These are often printed and handed to the store buyer. With printed slides, you don’t need to stick to the typical 18 point minimum text size.

Its outgoing editor in chief Graydon Carter was known for the glossy print edition of the magazine and the gala Oscar Party (which some perceived as excessive gilded age). And that seems to say a lot: Vanity Fair still treats print as sacred. And, on so many television programs, such as "Law & Order SVU," there are scenes with mothers and grandmothers reading print books to children at bedtime. The print kind.

By default, when you print a presentation, it does not print in high quality. Perspective and soft shadows on shapes and text don’t print unless you change the print setting to high quality. Have you ever tried to print a presentation and wondered, “Why don’t my shadows print?” What you see when you print. Here’s what you get when you print the slide. How to fix the shadows so they print properly.

Pearson was stuck in the $300 print textbook space. Pearson's chief executive officer John Fallon had that ah-ha moment, reports ReCode.    Since 2013, Pearson's revenues had declined from $2 billion to $1.3 million. The corporation is the largest global player in the education niche. One reason for the plunge is that competitors Clegg and Amazon were eating its lunch through renting digital textbooks.

Obviously, a monthly print publication can't keep up with that. As many know, print Playboy is ending its print edition.  The Esquire ethos dominated. Its signature was the self-confident male who intuitively understood the style continuum. That extended from what to wear for interviews for that first job to if a minvan (called that back then) would brand him as middle-aged.    And, that was then.

Print on Demand (POD) is a popular, affordable short-run publishing process that can be used to self-publish and sell print and electronic copies of your book(s) from your website and/or from leading online booksellers such as Amazon and Barnes and Noble in the US, Indigo-Chapters in Canada and WH Smith in the UK. You can also use POD to print copies of your book(s) at wholesale prices and to sell them at workshops, lectures and readings, and even through book retailers.

For most of my books, my monthly e-book sales now equal, and often exceed, my print book sales. A fellow author asked me if I felt my e-book sales were cannibalizing my print book sales, i.e., if I was simply selling as many books as I would have sold if I had only print books (no e-books) available. Meanwhile, sales for print books that are not available in e-format climb slowly (steadily, but slowly); they never spike the way sales for books available in e-format do.

That's not only print. Ads are being bought on Facebook and Google. Not newspapers. And even when they are placed on newspapers there are those ad-blockers. During the past six years, reports Michael Wolff in USA Today , the newspaper industry has shrunk by half in the U.S. And by a third in the UK. But also digital. And, come on, how many newspaper outlets do we need to announce the death of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and rip about the implications?

In print days, those offices usually had prominently displayed copies of prestigious publications. As speechwriters and ghostwriters, we had spent plenty of time in executive offices. The business ones were The Wall Street Journal and Harvard Business Review. The general ones were The Economist and Time. By design or accident, those provided props for the executive branding. That was then. Now, depending on the industry, executives themselves have become the media.
