Purpose, Movement, Color
A Strategy for Effective Presentations
by Tom Mucciolo and Rich Mucciolo
80 pages, full color, a MediaNet publication

This easy-to-read, comprehensive story takes you through the visual side of the presentation process. There’s a section on how to present better and another section on electronic presentations. The images in this book are in color because a major component of this visual strategy involves the correct use of color.

You can create a powerful visual impression, not from using images with special effects, but from images which specially affect your audience in some positive way! The underlying principles of Purpose, Movement and Color are defined and referenced, using full-color examples to explain a strategy for effective presentations! You will learn how to correctly develop a goal for your presentation, how to hold and build the attention span of your audience through the effective use of eye movement, and how to affect the emotions of the audience by using color.

In addition, you’ll learn ways to enhance your presentation delivery style using proper gestures, body movement and other techniques. All in all, you will understand how to create clear, concise and more powerful presentations and recognize ways to deliver those events more effectively.
