10 Tips to Help Master Prezi
Last week, I spent two days teaching Prezi at the Langley Center for New Media. As the event came to a close, a few attendees asked if I could sum up more than 16 hours of teaching in a top 10 list.

When it comes to presentation design, for instance, there's no shortage of avenues you can take. And while all that choice -- colors, formats, visuals, fonts -- can feel liberating, it's important that you're careful in your selection as not all design combinations add up to success.
