A PowerPoint Blog: World's Best Presentation Contest 2010: Conversation with Cory Jim
Cory Jim started designing presentations in the US military for top secret combat operations in Iraq in 2003. He had to learn really quick and be extremely accurate, precise, and clear as to what information was included in each presentation. Not so much design, but more efficiency. Shortly after, he went on to pursue graphic design in 4 different colleges in Hawaii. Learning from various books and studying the other professionals in the industry, he quickly picked up his own style and technique. Cory founded Empowered Presentations with his business partner, Yancey Unequivocally, in 2010 based out of Honolulu, Hawaii. In this conversation, Cory talks about Smoke, his winning entry in SlideShare's World's Best Presentation Contest 2010.
