My top 15 resources for presentation designers
Work more efficiently and create beautiful slides with these tips
I’ve been neck-deep in client work lately. It’s that back-to-school September rush of new projects and impending deadlines. When it rains, it pours. When this happens I have to work hard to shift my mindset from a place of overwhelm to one of abundance (it’s truly great to not have a shortage of work.) The reverse side of this coin is that as a self-employed independent contractor and design team of one, the frustrating reality is that I often have to put a pause on my personal passion projects (like writing tutorials like these on Medium) in order to get through the busy seasons.
So — while I’m heads down creating things for other people, I thought it would be helpful to share a list of my favorite resources that I use when creating presentations. These tools & sites will hopefully save you tons of time too. Let me know in the comments if you have any additional recommendations!
