Haiku Deck Help: Collaborating on a Haiku Deck

Someday we plan to add the ability for multiple contributors to collaborate on a single Haiku Deck. But in the meantime, in this special edition of Haiku Deck help, here’s how we recently partnered with Haiku Deck Guru Greg Bamford on a deck he presented at EduCon in Philadelphia.

Outlining in Google Docs

First, Greg created a slide-by-slide outline for his talk in email. Catherine (our VP of Marketing) pulled the outline into a shared Google Doc and fleshed it out with ideas for image direction and suggested keywords for image searching.

Presentation Inspiration: 3 Power Tips for Selecting Images

You know that Haiku Deck puts millions of beautiful, free Creative Commons licensed images at your fingertips to grab your audience’s attention and bring your words to life. Our built-in keyword search makes the searching part easy, but selecting the perfect one can take a little creativity (and sometimes patience, grasshopper). If you need a little presentation inspiration, these power tips will help you pick images like a pro.

Keyword Search Tips

  1. Don’t limit yourself to literal: There’s no need to get stuck on a specific search word or phrase—try zooming out and exploring different angles in to your topic. For example, if you’re making a “Summer Road Trip” Haiku Deck, try evocative phrases like “highway” or “scenic route” if  “summer vacation” or “road trip” isn’t doing the trick. Continue reading

Haiku Deck with Notes: It’s Business Time!

If you haven’t yet tried the powerful Notes feature, take a look at these awesome examples of Haiku Deck in the workplace–for training, for marketing, for communicating unique philosophies and competitive advantages. In other words, it’s business time, people! Here are a few of our recent favorites, for your inspiration.

Online Training

1. Haiku Deck is not just for live talks; you can also use it to create standout materials for webinars and online training sessions. Michele Mizejewski created this deck as an intro/overview for an online course she teaches for the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL):

Marketing

3. Long emails or document attachments may or may not actually get read, so how about an image-rich marketing plan? Judy Orr of Classic Realty Group in Chicago explains why sellers should list with her firm in this Haiku Deck, which mixes her own photos with images from our dynamic image search:

Showcasing Values

4. Haiku Deck works beautifully for illustrating your organization’s values and philosophy, whether you’re a global corporation or a soulful startup. Hal Hensler of the Laurel School in San Francisco used the app to create a memorable marketing piece that also tells the story of the school’s approach to learning:

Pitching

5. In case you missed it in our roundup of the Best Decks of 2012, this Haiku Deck by Vancouver startup Tapstream is a model for the modern way to pitch your business. The team has created a dynamic, flexible content asset that can be delivered straight from an iPad or emailed, tweeted, posted, or shared. They’ve used the Notes feature brilliantly to add detail and texture to key features, stats, and product screenshots. This hard-hitting Haiku Deck is definitely worth a look:

As a Haiku Deck user, you’re already on the leading edge of awesomeness. But we all know there’s always a way to be thatmuchmore awesome, so we want to be sure you know about a quick way to take your Haiku Decks to the next level of awesome: add Notes to the web view of your deck.

If you’ve ever felt like you can’t quite fit what you want to say on a Haiku Deck slide, or if you’d like to try a ridiculously easy way to incorporate best practices into your presentations, trust us–you will love this.

3 Reasons to Add Notes to Your Haiku Deck

1. Add Helpful Detail: Haiku Deck focuses your message by limiting the text on each slide, but if more detail or supplemental resources would add value, Notes gives you a place to do it.
