I'm sure he got a lot more attention with it than it would have got with 'digital food' or just the recipe. In my case, I like to put some related macro photos in my presentations because they are easy to make (check this link [1] in lifehacker about making a macro photo studio) and they normally look very good. Another question to the basket: How to do people's photos for presentation? [1]: http://lifehacker.com/software/photography/build-a-10-macro-photo-studio-186538.php Nice slide for a Chef.

- Overhead projector screen
- Trapezium light beam (projector not positioned perfectly)
- Transparency
- 3 bullet points written with a red marker
- Piece of paper to cover up the last 2

And you’ve come full circle, back to the 80s :-)

Just like a (pre-historic) recipe... - Background Consomé (LOL) Take a colored foil sheet, crumple it, stretch it on an oven tray, submerge with water, put a cardboard with your text (in black) close to the tray, project a light on the tray in a chosen angle, create waves in the water by shaking it with your finger (or something else), while capturing the reflection in the cardboard to 35mm slide film. You could get a lot of different but similar backgrounds and a sense of motion during the presentation since every slide had a slightly different one. It also worked great with video - mixed with Commodore Amiga Slides... Active Motion Backgrounds, Live, LOL Ok Doug…

It's always refreshing to explore new (or even old) ways of telling stories. I find it keeps my thinking from getting stale. Care to share your favorite example, Miguel?

You've just discovered what? The... wheel!!??? You've just discovered how presentations were made 20 years ago... There was life in the presentations world long before computers or even PowerPoint, you know? All those concepts everyone is propagating nowadays are nothing but the daily rules of presentations professionals 20 years ago. Direct, simple, clear, almost minimal, visually appealing messages, were the basic concepts for prezos visual aids. Why? Simply because working by hand took too long, required drawing skilled people or photographers, hence too expensive. Communication and marketing pros were more visually skilled, they were used to rely on rouhg drawings, lay-outs, story-boards etc. I think it's time for us all to take a look at the "Audiovisual History"... Wow… Amazing…
