What you'll learn
You need a well-designed slide to command attention and communicate complex thoughts at the first glance. It’s a powerful moment—one that delivers the full punch of your meaning, without ever shifting attention away from the presenter.
We created a tool that lets you quickly measure the glance-power of your slide. If you use this test regularly, creating slides that speak boldly will become second nature.
