Dear Readers,
From the bottom of my heart, I’d like to thank you so much for your patronage this year, keeping up with our writings. We couldn’t, and wouldn’t, do what we do without your endearing loyalty.

What is hack day?
Well, it’s something we do here at Big Fish that, we guess, is unique to us. It basically involves working during the weekend. Now wait – before you close this window; know that hack day is much more than that.

Our motto is “We turn presentations into experiences,” but it’s actually more along the lines of “We want to help you turn presentations into experiences.”… Continue Reading →
Preorder our new book, “The Big Fish Experience” to see everything we’ve learned over the years, all the resources we use to do what we do, and our tips on how to present experiences.
You’ve been in that terrible position. That dull, mind-numbing state of being that we call the boring presentation.
Lemme guess. It’s in a dark room. There’s a projector showing a handful of abysmal graphs and an endless list of bullet points. … Continue Reading →
Have you heard of The Rule of Thirds?”
Unless you’re a designer, photographer or an artist, you probably don’t hear about it a lot. It’s a standard in the design world, used by professionals in many fields in order to achieve harmonious, clear placement of a variety of design elements. It’s a basic rule that, if followed correctly, greatly increases the value of images and text in any piece, (including a presentation) and the good news is that ANYONE can do it!… Continue Reading →
