Leo Laporte Presentation

Leo Laporte hired me to create the visuals for a keynote presentation he was giving at a new media conference. Following his script, I created this animated Keynote presentation to illustrate his points. While I don’t have a recording of the event, this video export of my visuals provides a fair representation of my presentation design aesthetic.
