What Makes Presentation Slides Beautiful (with Mitch Grasso)
Episode 49 "Beautiful" is subjective, as is slide design, which Troy, Nolan, Sandy and our guest Mitch Grasso have strong opinions on. Mitch adds great insights into presentation design as founder of SlideRocket (acquired by VMware in 2011) and now Beautiful.ai (an online presentation design app that launched February 6, 2018). Like TV shows that use a news headline for an episode storyline, we take Mitch's new company name, and its mission, as our conversation topic and discuss what makes a beautiful presentation.
