- 2. About this collection… This PowerPoint deck is part of a collection. Each deck in this collection models a different communication or presentation style. Some models focus on visual display, others strictly on organizing information. Each deck describes the same fictional project using a different presentation model. This collection is inspired by Exercises In Style, the classic book by Raymond Queneau. In Exercise In Style, Queneau retells the same very simple story 99 times in 99 different styles. I plan to add to this collection over time, beginning with potentially useful design styles, and later modelling common stylistic errors. Tim Kieschnick El Cerrito, CA 19 May 2013 2

- 10. About this style This deck uses the “Bare Outline” style. Although this style is typically a very poor choice as a communication tool, it can be helpful to authors trying to organize thoughts for themselves. In Exercises In PowerPoint Style, I use this outline as the raw material for all the other models in the series.
