THIRST
July 8, 2008
Check out this presentation I created and entered into this year’s “World’s Best Presentation Contest” on SlideShare.net. The contest attracts entries from all across the world on a myriad of topics and is a great source for design inspiration. This year there are some very creative entries, so be sure to check them out and vote for the ones you like best. You can vote for THIRST by visiting this page.
THIRST is an educational presentation that explores humanity’s water use and the emerging worldwide water shortage—topics I deeply believe people need to be aware of. I designed it to function as a stand-alone presentation, which means the slides tell the full story (no need for person to deliver it). I’d love to hear what you think. Enjoy!

Jeff,
Very nice presentation… self-standing as you mentioned, which makes it very useful to share and spread. Both content and visuals definitely touch and strike. Not to mention that the subject itself definitely deserves to be pointed out. - Only wondering about the balance “questions/problem vs suggestions/solutions”. Thinking maybe about more links to innovative ideas to help/spare water? Great job anyway!

You bring up a very good point Luc, I appreciate the feedback. I intentionally didn’t include many suggestions for solutions because there are just so many things out there—many more than can fit in a single presentation like this. My goal with the presentation was to get people thinking, and motivate people to look into it on their own. In other words, I wanted it to be a beginning, not a beginning middle and end.

Easily one of the best presentations in the contest so far - well done!

Straight to the problem and to be honest, I love it when you don’t push the image about African too much. Anyway, do you just trying to waking our awareness up? It’s so much better if you include some address that related to water conservation.
Overall, two thumbs up for your idea! (and design also, so nice to see)
