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.
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.

4. Slidedocs are like books
introduction
Slidedocs are like books
Slidedocs borrow some specific design aspects from books. Books have a cover, table of contents, clear chapter indicators, prose, page numbers, and other small design decisions that have big information architecture implications to help readers navigate the contents.
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.
The masters are set up for prose and have plenty of white space. Each page holds just the right amount of information to process quickly.

5. master layout options introduction
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.

Notice that the section identifier at the bottom of this page moved to the right and changed to section two. This is simply a graphic placed on each slide. When you want to signify that a reader is in a new section of your slidedoc, slide the orange graphic and section head text over to the next segment. This graphic could be placed on every slide as a navigational device or removed all together.
Below the section signifier is a small discreet text field where you can put reference or source material. You can have it be a live web link to the source or simply give attribution to the source you’ve cited.

This chart style is beautiful and for power users of PowerPoint. It’s 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 doesn’t work on a master so it’s pasted on the slide individually.
