#SOTD 34: Three comic-strip style slides to illustrate a transition
From almost nothing in 1990, the Indian IT+BPM sector's estimated contribution to India's exports is now a whopping 35-40%. The IT sector has been a key engine of growth for the Indian economy over the last 30 years.
Guess which sector is taking over that mantle now.

Note the data storytelling techniques used in the three slides above:
- All have a clear summarising message above (the addition of a secondary or subordinate message is also a good technique)
- Each of them feature the 'comic-strip' style slide design method. I'd earlier written about it here, when analysing a twitter thread. The above example is more relevant, since it features actual slides.
- Each slide is divided into 2 panels
- In each 'panel' the message sits on top with the (simple) visual below
- The narrative 'flows' between the panels and slide
The overall effect: The messages come out clearly for the audience to understand.
