Is PowerPoint Evil?

Book pp cover

We have a new article up at the Jury Expert: “A Necessary Evil: Edward Tufte and Making the Best of PowerPoint“. It’s the second in our series on popular theories of presentation design, and how they relate to the courtroom.

In this article, we discuss Information Design guru Edward Tufte’s writings against many presenters’ favorite tool, PowerPoint. We try to examine the applicable and non-applicable in Tufte’s work, and offer suggestions for how to apply his principles in front of a jury.

    Admittedly overused but on the right occasion, damn useful.
