Applying the Squint Test
In the Extreme Presentation workshop we discuss
the importance of using what graphic designers
call the squint test when laying out a page.
To pass the squint test, the layout of the page
must tell you something about the page, even if
youre squinting so that you cannot read any of
the text. The goal is that the layout of the
page should reinforce the main message of the
page. If the message is that there are two
alternatives, for example, then you should lay
the page out with one alternative on each side.
To help you with this, we have created this
PowerPoint document, which contains 36 examples
of page layouts that pass the squint test. Of
course, these are just a few ideas among
thousands of possible layouts. So please feel
free to adapt and use these for your own
purposes and email me examples of any new
layouts that you create, as well as any comments
or feedback (abela_at_cua.edu). The simplest way
to use this is to save a copy of this file (with
the name of your new presentation). Then go to
the Slide Sorter view and move all the layouts
that you want to use towards the front of the
presentation, and delete the rest. Then put the
remaining layouts in the order you want them (you
can use CTRL-D to duplicate any layouts where you
need more than one copy). This work is licensed
