FOREWORD BY GUY KAWASAKI Presentation designer and internationally acclaimed communications expert Garr Reynolds, creator of the most popular Web site on presentation design and delivery on the Net — presentationzen.com — shares his experience in a provocative mix of illumination, inspiration, education, and guidance that will change the way you think about making presentations with PowerPoint or Keynote. Presentation Zen challenges the conventional wisdom of making "slide presentations" in today’s world and encourages you to think differently and more creatively about the preparation, design, and delivery of your presentations. Garr shares lessons and perspectives that draw upon practical advice from the fields of communication and business. Combining solid principles of design with the tenets of Zen simplicity, this book will help you along the path to simpler, more effective presentations.
Breathe easy and relax as you color 28 intricate illustrations of mystical mandalas, enchanting animals, and natural textures in this portable little coloring book. Also includes helpful advice on art techniques, suggested color palettes, and fully colored examples to get you inspired. Designs are printed on a single side of high-quality, extra thick paper to resist bleed through.
With these stunning and approachable illustrations of mandalas and other Buddhist symbols, readers will color beautiful art while falling in love with the meditative process of coloring, using it to unwind from the day and help quell the anxieties of everyday life. Readers will fill in illustrations little by little, focusing on the journey and experience of coloring over time, as opposed to only working towards an end goal. This will help readers build a meditative practice that they can come back to again and again with each drawing. Pictures are accompanied by Buddhist quotes and teachings, which reinforces the calming effect of coloring for readers, offering bits of wisdom on mindful practices as they work through the book. And with a wide variety of quotes, figures and practices represented in this book, there is something that will resonate with everyone. Illustrations will be printed on special quality watercolor paper, which will highlight the beautiful colors in the illustration, making them pop. As the focus is on the meditative experience of coloring, and the journey of filling in a piece overtime, these durable pages will allow this book to perfectly fit into people’s busy routine and make the experience available, on the-go, from remote locations.
