to your Dropbox files, find the Presentations folder, select your PowerPoint file and there is a Play
button near the top right. You should be able to see everything on your external display as soon as you

If you have an Apple Watch, PowerPoint for iPhone allows you to control your presentations from your
wrist with the ability to navigate between slides and also see the elapsed time or total number of slides
in your deck.

Being a road warrior and carrying these small extra cables with you wherever you go, will enable you to
give presentations on the fly with minimal preparation required. If you make a habit of copying your
presentations to your Dropbox folder (or working directly within), you will always have what you need at
your fingertips. There are also many handheld portable projectors in the market over the past few years,
commonly called Pico Projectors. These allow you to easily project onto many surfaces such as a blank
wall for quick on the go presentations using a projector that fits in your hand.

The 4 Basic Principles of Presentation Design

“Good design is thorough down to the last detail.” -
Dieter Rams

Creating a beautiful presentation requires a
symphony of visual elements to work together for a
"big picture." Designers seek to make the entire
vision work together in terms of how each part
interacts. This includes layout, typography,
and imagery, which all add up to a cohesive set of
design elements. So, how can you orchestrate the
chaos of design in your next presentation? Use the
principles below to guide your way.

1. Balance
There are two types of balance: symmetrical and asymmetrical.

Symmetrical Balance:
With this type of balance, the elements on both sides of the design are in similar location and size. If you
were to draw a line down the middle of a symmetrical design, it would be a mirrored image on both
sides. An example of this would be the human face.
