The Art of Presentation, Al Gore Style
by Patrick Ruffini :: January 10th, 2007 11:39 pmI wrote a piece about Al Gore on the political blog over the weekend that was actually largely favorable. There was one more thing about Gore and his documentary I found impressive: his slide show. Agree or disagree, it’s proof of Matt Lewis’s point: those of us on the other side of Gore politically need to think about more about framing our ideas.
I found this Business Week link from December that’s worth del.icio.using. It talks about the secrets behind Al Gore’s presentation style: set aside PowerPoint’s stilted title and bullet format, and go with straight images, quotes, graphs, and video. Unstated in this piece is that because Gore is no master communicator, he relies on slides more and does so effectively.
Googling around some more I found that Gore got some help in designing the slide show, from Duarte Design. The movie shows the ex-Veep noodling around in Keynote, rearranging slides, one assumes to convey his hands-on role in creating it. So, is this another Gore exaggeration? (I couldn’t resist…)
