I haven't illustrated for a really long time.Testing out a new workflow and drawing style.
What better first image to share than me saying the #1 #PresentationSkills tip I have to share:
📣 #DeathByPowerpoint is not actually PowerPoint's fault.
If you want to create visually engaging presentations, the solution isn't to look for a new app.
You're just as likely to create bad slides in Canva, Prezi, or Google slides. 👏
PPT is actually a great tool...If you use it right. 😉😁
I was going to post more #PresentationSkills advice this week, but it was kind of a whirlwind.
Instead I offer you a picture of my handsome boy, Sage.
He often steals glances at himself in the mirror, and is always quite pleased with what he sees.
Is there a hashtag for us to share our pets?
Hello Masto, I'm Dr Echo Rivera.
An #AltAc who decided to help academics/researchers create more engaging talks and lectures.
For me, it's about accessibility and inclusivity.
#DeathByPowerpoint is a funny punchline, but it's also inaccessible. It creates barriers and we need to take it more seriously.
I'm here to help.
🙏 Give this a boost & follow me if you'd like tips for creating #BetterPresentations.
AMA (I prob have a blog/video that can help).
