I’m always on the lookout for reference material to enhance my web design skills and improve the overall experience for my viewers . Recently, after a long afternoon in B&N, I picked up a great book that goes along way in achieving these goals. Slide:ology, by Nancy Duarte, is a excellent source for creating meaningful and interesting PowerPoint presentations. However, most of the tips in this selection are directly applicable to web design. Considering the format of a preso closely resembles that of a web page, the design elements discussed are extremely useful.

Whether you are tasked with creating ppts for your work group or develop web sites as a hobby or profession, we all could use a little help in finding the optimum way to communicate with our audience.

I highly recommend this book and also, the author’s blog.
