Testimonial:
Just to let you know that I found ... your graphics course very enlightening and educational. ... Your book is worth the price of admission, but having available all of your high class/high quality graphics on line that will raise the level of our graphics efforts in presentations and proposals, was way over the top. But having these two sources would not be complete without your thoughtfully well done presentation to tie it all together. [A]fter sitting through your presentation I will take a more logical approach not only to graphics, but to the overall logic of our proposal or presentation to make certain that it is sound and well crafted. Additionally, I will likely choose to use more graphics to convey information instead of just writing. ... I truly enjoyed the day and found it tremendously rewarding.—Gary Pierson, Business Development Associate, Intelligence Analyst IV, CAMBER Corp - i2S Division
