Interactive PDFs | Slide Decks

A navigable PDF "graphic novel" designed to engage federal IT employees and get them interested in Cisco offerings.

Citizens’ Climate Lobby seeks a carbon fee and dividend solution to climate change. Since most of their collateral is comprised of charts and written explanations of their proposal, I recommended giving the cause a more human component.

This PDF has multiple interactive triggers which give easy access to product information. The ability to use it offline is especially helpful when making sales calls.

I literally wrote the book (actually a PowerPoint) on presentation best practices. The bottom line? Focus and motivate the viewer by keeping to one idea per slide, incorporating humor, knowing your audience, and not exceeding attention spans.

Using this graphic alternative to simply listing locations, I was able to give some reprieve to break up this text-heavy technical slide deck.

Navigable PDFs organize information and can give one-click access to specific information.

I use photographs and infographics to bring variety into ubiquitous bulleted slides. In general, I recommend keeping text minimal in any presentation—freeing the audience to listen to the speaker instead of reading.

A tabbed navigation bar in this PDF gives quick access to information even when the viewer is offline.
