Maryanne Johnston
Presentation and training materials
Maryanne Johnston is one of Scotland’s most respected communication skills experts. She coaches professionals from all walks of life who need to get their message across—whether a big speech, a small presentation or an informal meeting.
Good spoken communication can be very effectively supported with clear visuals. I’ve worked closely with Maryanne for a number of years, improving both the visual aspects of her own training materials and the presentations of those she coaches.
Z-Card
Maryanne was looking for a piece of collateral which could be left with participants after a training session, as a handy reminder of the key points covered. I suggested a Z-Card—a credit card sized fold-up booklet which can comfortably be kept in a pocket or wallet. Feedback from clients has been extremely positive, with many referring to the notes when preparing to present.
The final design provides continuity with Maryanne’s brand without feeling like a piece of marketing material
Podcast brand and cover artwork
The Agile Speaker is a five-part podcast series where Maryanne talks through her unique approach to public speaking. I was asked to consider the cover artwork, which needed to remain clear and punchy when viewed at a small size on a mobile device.
Training slides and printed material
In her workshops, Maryanne makes use of a number of digital and printed visuals. These needed a clear design and unified look.
