Negative Positive
Title: Great, but very Opinionated
Review: I can hardly believe that Edward Tufte, the great guru of design wrote this one. It's great to raise issues, act negative, and point out problems. Let me be frank, today everyone needs to create PowerPoint presentations in so many ways including webcasts. How does Edward Tufte plan to tackle that? Rather than explain how to work around limitations and accept PowerPoint as just another medium, this book goes into a directionless tirade against Microsoft's program.Incidentally, I just read another book and can't resist adding this note here. I love the way color theory for presentations is explained in another book. I always thought Dummies books were for dummies. Now I've changed my opinion. Maybe, it's time Edward Tufte should accept presentations as part of business and industry and use his design ideas to help us create better presentations.
Is the review positive or negative?
