Travelogue

Annotate photos from your travels
Get those travel photos out of the camera roll and into a beautiful, sharable, format.

Tip: Add others' photos when you didn't get the perfect shot

When your own photo doesn't do a place justice, use photos from the many available through Haiku Deck with creative commons licensing for free use to round out your story.

Eiffel Tower at night

Bonus Tip: When selecting photos, choose ones whose composition works well with the addition of the text you'll add through Haiku Deck. In most instances, this means that either the top or bottom has headline space free of essential details.

Macaroons to die for

Bonus Tip: Patterns, such as the repeating, parallel diagonal lines in this photo, draw the viewers attention through your photo. Notice how the lines here are similar in direction to those of the previous photo of the Eiffel Tower, giving coherence to the set.

Poi Spinning IN PARIS

Bonus Tip: Choose one aspect of each photo to continue to the next to provide subtle continuity. In the previous two, we saw the repeated diagonal lines. Here, the green color of the statue in the background mimics the green in the macaroons and the nighttime shot with emphasized lighting harkens back to the Eiffel Tower picture.

APP TUTORIALS

ANNOTATE IPAD SCREENSHOTS
Haiku Deck works well for developing quick app tutorials, particularly when done using the iPad Haiku Deck app. The Haiku Deck app simplifies the process by (a) incorporating the ability to take pictures (screenshots likely in this case) within the app, and alternately (b) allowing for batch uploading of multiple pictures at once from the camera roll - two functions not yet available in the online Haiku Deck program that is still in beta.

Tip: Click the sleep and home buttons at the same time for iPad screenshots

Bonus Tip: Take your screenshots in landscape rather than portrait mode to mimic the landscape layout of Haiku Decks.

TRELLO: MOVING AN ITEM

DRAG THE ITEM FROM ITS ORIGINAL CARD
Because Trello has a large open space at the bottom when lists are short, it made the perfect example, with plenty of space for framing the Haiku Deck slide titles.

TRELLO: MOVING AN ITEM

TO ITS NEW CARD
Note that Trello is an easy-to-use list making and task/project monitoring tool. Look to TheSmarterOne.com for an upcoming review.

TRELLO: MOVING AN ITEM

AND LET GO - VOILA!
If adding titles via Haiku Deck does not provide enough guidance or information, you can follow this four step process for more detailed instructions:

1. Take your screenshot on the iPad - this will save it to your camera roll
2. Use a photo editing and annotation program to add call outs, arrows, etc.*
3. Save the revised photo to your camera roll (this may be on your laptop, but of course you have your camera rolls synced
4. Import your annotated photos into Haiku Deck

We'd recommend doing the above in batches. First, take all of your screenshots. Then, annotate and save them all. Then, import all of the annotated screenshots at once. Once within Haiku Deck, you can add headings, supporting related slides, and share.

*My favorite is TechSmith's SnagIt for Mac and PC. At $49 it is not free, but because I annotate photos and screenshots all the time, this handy program is invaluable and used daily. Again, see TheSmarterOne.com for a future review.

Birthday cards

Customize greetings for your loved ones
I almost always forget to buy cards, and the rare time that I remember, I then forget to send it. I can make cards in Haiku Deck in a matter of minutes and then share.

Tip: Share cards on Facebook or Twitter or send email link

Bonus Tip: You can use a clipping tool like SnagIt to grab a single slide and save it as a jpeg and then share the photo itself. Or, you can use the sharing options within SnagIt to post a deck directly to Facebook or Twitter. When a deck is posted, only a single slide shows and then clicking on that slide brings you back to the Haiku Deck site to view the full deck.

Hippo

Haiku Deck offered me 20+ pictures of hippos from which to choose. In this one, the horizontal line of the water mirrored nicely the horizontal line of the headline. In addition,

Birdy

Bonus Tip: A super close-up, and eyes on your subject that appear to stare right at the viewer, make this a compelling photo.

TWO EWES

Just in case you haven't gotten it yet - say quickly and sing along:

Happy 19th Emily

Bonus Tip: Look for the words of your message spelled out within a picture. This may mean words on a sign, words in a book, words on a shirt, or in this case, words in candles.

Thematic Dividers

Signal actions or reminders in decks
When giving a long presentation, class, or workshop, often the speaker needs to stop at regular intervals. Slides serve as reminders for both the speaker and the audience. Rather than having a full set of them together, as they are shown in subsequent slides, I will make a set of dividers, each with the same picture, but variant text, and then intersperse them at appropriate points throughout the deck.

Here are some examples of Thematic Dividers

Handout Reminders
Break Reminders
Discussion Reminders
Activity Reminders
Reflection Time Reminders
Cartoons/jokes

Tip: Use the copy function to duplicate slide, then update

Bonus Tip: Consider using dividers that have a strong color that will make them stand out in a deck (you'll see gold on the forthcoming examples). Then, when you look at an overview of your deck (such as on the ribbon in Haiku Deck or in the Slide Sorter in PowerPoint), the divider slides will be easy to find.

Handout

Checklist for Interactive Online Designs
I found this wonderful visual for my handout dividers. While the hand provides a photo queue related to handouts, the color is what stands out.

Handout

Gestalt Principles Applied to Dataviz
To copy a slide, click on its icon in the ribbon at the bottom of Haiku Deck and select "Copy."

Handout

Ways to Limit the Data/Ink Ratio
Once you have as many copies as you need of your divider slides, you may choose to keep the headline (in this case "Handout") and go in and change the subhead for each one.

CUSTOM KIDS BOOKS

PICTURE BOOKS WITH A TWIST
When I was little, my parents ordered a set of books with my name inserted in the story. I read them over and over, even though the topics weren't that interesting. With Haiku Deck you can make a storybook that is includes your child's name and includes pictures directly of interest to your very own superstar.

Tip: Use your child's name and focus on one theme

Haiku Deck is great for creating picture books for toddlers.

Jori Eats Green Peas

For this example, we'll focus on Jori and her love of all things green.

Jori Climbs Green Trees

The peas and trees came from photos found right in Haiku Deck.

Jori wears green t's

While this photo came from Haiku Deck as well, you could upload your own photos and intersperse them within more generic ones to further add to the customization.

ILLUSTRATED HAIKU

HOW META!
Couldn't resist using Haiku Deck's to illustrate Haiku. What a great zen habit, classroom assignment, or joke.

Tip: Haiku have 3 lines of 5 then 7 then 5 syllables

Yeah, but sometimes modern Haikus break the rules. They're short, they have three lines - go ahead, be a rebel and add an extra syllable.

LOVE IS IN THE AIR

The number of pictures to choose from in Haiku Deck to illustrate love and hearts is huge!

MY HEART GIVEN BECOMES YOURS

Some of the photos available within Haiku Deck are very nicely masked, such as this one.

YOU CRUSH IT - HOW SAD

My daughter made me promise to share that this was not autobiographical. I love my husband. But great haiku often have a surprise ending and I couldn't resist...

INSURANCE DOCUMENTATION

PHOTOS OF YOUR VALUABLES
For reimbursement purposes, you need pictures of all of your valuables.

Tip: Use the in-app [import-take picture] option on iPad

The iPad Haiku Deck app makes it super easy to walk around taking your pictures, add any needed notes, and move on to the next.

13,15,17 INCH MACBOOKS

Yep, these are my actual pictures, with actual macbooks. The 17" is a collectors edition.

SAMSUNG TRI-SCREEN MONITORS

My tri-screen monitors are the second love of my life...behind my family. Don't think they'd get stolen though. Too darn bulky and awkward to move.

SONY CAMERA WITH MACRO LENS

Used the iPad to take a picture of the somewhat obsolete digital SLR. A bit sad.

HOLIDAY GREETING

WITH JUST THE RIGHT SENTIMENT
Most greeting cards are a bit syrupy and generic. With Haiku Deck make them less generic. Still syrupy?

Tip: Export to PowerPoint then save as JPEG to use slides as pictures in other contexts

You can embed Haiku Decks right in Facebook or send a link to them to be viewed on the Haiku Deck site. Sometimes though, you may just want the picture to stand alone. Send it to PowerPoint, save the individual slides as JPEGs, and then use the pictures (the JPEGs) as you would share any other photo.

Note that one approach is to make a full Haiku Deck with each slide being a custom card for a different recipient. Export the whole deck, save the whole deck from PowerPoint as JPEGs, and you will automatically have each individual slide saved for use separately (you don't need to save each slide one at a time).

BLOGGERS BEST FRIEND

Haiku Decks Make Great Content
If you are a blogger, Haiku Deck is an easy, inexpensive, way to enrich your content.

Tip: Use individual pictures or entire decks

As per earlier slides, you can always expert to PowerPoint and save slides as JPEGs to use Haiku Deck to find and annotate photos for your posts.

Individual Slides

Make primary article or support photos
Tip: Make sure all of your posts include a picture. It will make them easier to share on Pinterest as well as more visually appealing. Haiku Deck makes it easy to create headlines slides. Here, we used it for our header for the countdown to our TheSmarterOne launch on June 1.

embedded decks

Establish expertise and add engageable content
Embed decks right within your posts and they'll be viewable on your site without returning to Haiku Deck.

Share your decks through embedding, through submitting them for consideration for Haiku Deck's highlight gallery via an email to gallery@haikudeck.com, directly to slideshare via Haiku Deck's incorporated sharing link, etc. Your decks can demonstrate your expertise, spread the word about your cause, or just make the world laugh.

CONTACT info Slides = referrals

If you are a Blogger, entrepreneur, trainer, or pretty much anyone, be sure to include a contacts slide a the end using Haiku Deck's new bulleted layout so that people can connect and join your tribe.
