We’ve consolidated all the most useful tools from the Extreme Presentation method here. Feel free to contact us and let us know if there is anything you would like us to add.
The tools are below. In each case, click on the link below the image, not on the image itself.
1. Layouts that pass the squint test – either in a wholistic view (via the Slide Chooser ), or individually.
For a file that contains all of them (for PowerPoint 2007 and later, with some layouts optimized with SmartArt):
http://extremepresentation.typepad.com/blog/the-new-36-layouts-that-p.html
If you would like all 36 slides in one file, but for PowerPoint 2003 (without SmartArt) you can find them on our website here under the section “Design a Presentation” –> “Step 8: Slide Layout.” Look for “version 1.0”
To interact with the digital version of the Slide Chooser and to download any single layout as a separate file, you can do so at the site below:
2. The Chart Chooser
The Chart Chooser is here in pdf form, and the dynamic version is at Labs at Juice Analytics.
