Thank you so much for posting this presentation. I have learned alot from following your techniques and tutorials. You’ve been a role model of what a professional illustrator should be. Thanks!

Von,
Love the section about the let-downs of working with marketing mentalities. I’ve been through the same, too many times. Don’t even get me started on committees. It was great seeing the keen, professional way you handled a situation that would make anyones eyes roll (400% indeed!).
Thanks for sharing! Keep doing great work.
TT

Martin,

I used Apple Keynote to put together the presentation. I simply exported a Flash conversion out of Keynote. Some of the transitions don’t convert so I had to simplify it first.

In my live presentation I showed a short animation of a logo I did. That wouldn’t export so I had to put a link to it instead in this download.

So I didn’t use a Flash template I built it with Apple Keynote and saved out as a Flash format. Works really well IMO.
