As challenging as it is to design slides as illustrations for presentations and, more recently, for virtual presentations, the design challenge is even greater for Instagram where viewers see graphic images as single screens without the benefit of a presenter’s narrative. Helen Atkinson, a professional visual data journalist for The Economist, meets the latter challenge with five guidelines to optimise the content in our feed for the magazine’s Instagram posts.

Trenna Wall is the COO of Design Toolbars, an Australia-based company that creates a PowerPoint add-in that provides one-click slide design tools. She co-founded Design Toolbars with Davo Sime. Both worked in the London office of a large management consultancy company in the mid-1990s – one after another – so they didn’t get to meet until many years later. Then Davo joined Trenna and the Australia Graphics team in Sydney in 2011 and together, they created thousands of consulting slides over the next 6 years!
In this video interview, Trenna showcases some features of the Design Toolbars add-in for PowerPoint.

Multiscreen digital signage is when you have your messages or any other content shown on more than one screen in your facility. This approach ensures that your messages and information can be seen throughout your facility so that you can keep all your employees, management, and patrons informed. Multiscreen digital signage is also used when you have more information than can be shown on one screen, such as a restaurant showing its entire menu or a large conference center showing many events.
