With the deadline and objectives in mind, I review the entire presentation and list out the measures required to complete the job. That list is then prioritized in terms of urgency and utility; actions that will result in cascading effects are best dealt with early, therefore master slides are usually the first order of business. https://www.garyreichardt.com/bio-contact daily 0.75 2019-04-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b81c212f793925b46ca28cc/1542484613543-4TJAPC8KEAUUMETO3HW0/gary_reichardt.png Bio & Contact - Bio & Contact A lifelong Chicago area resident, I grew up in the western suburbs, attended the University of Illinois, and unwittingly began a freelance design career by taking a series of short-term projects during a job search in 2003. Those projects quickly stacked up to the point my time was fully occupied, and I have stuck with it ever since. Feel free to contact me any time or to connect on LinkedIn. https://www.garyreichardt.com/philosophy daily 0.75 2019-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b81c212f793925b46ca28cc/1536501332618-9G9KV5T81YUP9RF09AK1/janko-ferlic-174927-unsplash.jpg Philosophy - Philosophy Any presentation is a complement to the speaker, who should get most of the audience’s attention. The presentation reinforces the message and delivers information the speaker cannot express, but it should never contradict the speaker or distract the audience. I design away from distraction, favoring a clean and minimalist aesthetic, with smooth animation when needed, rather than producing busy slides with jarring transitions. https://www.garyreichardt.com/skills-experience daily 0.75 2021-09-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b81c212f793925b46ca28cc/1536584794583-NNJENVX3ON1N6ZMYRUBB/fabian-grohs-597395-unsplash.jpg Skills & Experience - Skills & Experience I learned to use PowerPoint in 1998 and added Keynote, Photoshop, Illustrator, Prezi, and Google Slides (GSlides) since then. A four-year degree in English means I also catch typos. For someone like me, version control is an obsession. A decade and a half of freelance has made me an excellent project manager, with a compulsion to generate checklists and flag issues to prevent them from becoming crises.
