In his internationally acclaimed, best-selling book Presentation Zen: Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery, presentation master Garr Reynolds gave readers the framework for planning, putting together, and delivering successful presentations. Now, he takes us further into the design realm and shows how we can apply time-honored design principles to presentation layouts.

After establishing guidelines for each of the various elements, he explains how to achieve an overall harmony and balance using the tenets of Zen simplicity. Not only will you discover how to design your slides for more professional-looking presentations, you’ll learn to communicate more clearly and will accomplish the goal of making a stronger, more lasting connection with your audience.

 Slight disappointment. The book suffers from sequel syndrome May 15, 2010
Boris Gorelik (Israel)
I was slightly disappointed by this book. Unlike the huge impact that "Presentation Zen" (the first book in this series), "Presentation Zen Design" is a little bit pale. I would have been very happy if it contained more (much more) real-life examples.
I wrote a more elaborate review on this book in my blog: [...]
 Nice nuggets April 25, 2010
Hampus Jakobsson (Sweden)
Great book if you want to polish your presentation skills. The main takeaways are to rehearse and to remove all unnecessary information.
 Presentatiion Zen is a winner April 15, 2010
Floydville Professor (Alexandria, VA United States)
One of the best books I ever bought.
Wish I could remember whom I lent it to.
Picks up where the original Presentation Zen left off April 10, 2010
Mario Sanchez Carrion
I read and enjoyed the original Presentation Zen but felt that something was missing. While the book did a great job at explaining the planning and delivery stages of effective presentations, it didn't offer much about the actual design phase.
While some praised the fact that Presentation Zen was not "a book about making slides" I actually did want a book that could teach me how to make attractive, clear and effective slides. Presentation Zen Design is that book.
In it, you will find actionable how-to advice on important topics like: choosing the the right font, working with color, creating attractive visual compositions, using images and video, and other tips and techniques to improve your slides and create powerful presentations.
The book is also vintage Garr, with plenty of references to Japanese culture, and interesting parallels between Zen principles and aesthetics and presentation design. Garr's personal brand also shines through his choice of images and sample slides, which make Presentation Zen Design part how-to manual, part coffee table book.
For best results I would highly recommend reading both the original Presentation Zen and Presentation Zen Design, as both books complement and support each other.
If you get only one book on presentation development, get this one March 29, 2010
B. Ahlen (Los Angeles, CA USA)
I have done presentations in 38 states and 45 countries, and of course accumulated a good bunch of books on presentation development.
Much of the techniques/styles that I found through hard work to be the most important for making my presentations absorbable to audiences of very varied educational backgrounds, I found in this book.
And I learned a number of little things that I hadn't developed or discovered yet, for which I was very grateful.
It is marvelously clearly presented, with a perfect mix of show (a lot) and tell (a little bit where needed).
Highly recommended.
