introduction
what is a slidedoc?
The way we communicate is changing. In
our time-strapped world, we like
information that is consumed quickly.
This has led organizations to look for a way to fill the gap
between long-form documents and presentations. What has
emerged are slidedocs.
A slidedoc is a visual document intended to be read and
referenced instead of projected. Slidedocs work for a variety
of communication scenarios, from sales collateral to in-
meeting reference material. And because of their modular
nature, slidedocs can spread your smart thinking throughout
your organization.
section 01
Effective slidedocs are developed by knowing your audience,
understanding how they consume information, and by having
one clear big idea. Developing effective slidedocs also
requires visualizing ideas and making the information easy to
navigate.
Slidedocs are one of the most effective tools for
communicating ideas quickly and establishing consensus.
Your ideas deserve the best possible communication vehicle.
Slidedocs are designed for the way we communicate today.

process quickly.
Flipping through the pages of a slidedoc should feel similar to
flipping through the printed pages of a book or swiping the
screen of a tablet device.

master layout options

Each master is segmented into

sections that would accommodate
prose and graphics. There are various
layouts already predesigned into the
masters that will help you break up
your content into bite-sized chunks
that make your slidedoc much easier
to read.

typographic hierarchy

creating contrast with type

If you type in the field to the right titled Click to add text,
you get this light blue text style. This is used for
highlighting pieces of text for a subtitle, subhead, or main
callouts.
Hit return and tab and the text changes to charcoal and you now
have a paragraph header style applied.
Hit return and tab again and it changes to a size that works great for body copy. This
efficient way of setting up the master template to create typographic hierarchy is
unique to slidedocs.

This chart style is tricky about the data here

This chart style is beautiful and for

power users of PowerPoint. Its a bit
more complicated than just plotting
data. Right click on the colored
segment to see the data table. Modify
the tables and data will re-plot. This
type of chart doesnt work on a master
so its pasted on the slide individually.
