Presentation Zen

I found a great presentation blog that I wanted to share. It's Presentation Zen, and it's got a great outlook on how (and more importantly how not to) do effective presentations and visuals. Go check it out.

A few more links from there:

• Presentation Zen: Wabi-Sabi and Presentation Visuals (part I)


• Presentation Zen: Wabi-Sabi and Presentation Visuals (part II)

This little bit was copied gratuitiously from Wabi-Sabi Part II, because I though it so perfect and appropriate and releveant:
