I do agree that Assertion-Evidence doesn't work for every type of slide. I believe Ailey is an engineer. As to a matrix of design/model purpose, I do not know of one. Seems like it an interesting challenge to develop. Thanks for your input, Mark. I do agree that Assertion-Evidence doesn’t work for every type of slide. I believe Ailey is an engineer.

It works better for powerfully presenting evidence-based assertions than for content that would be better served through a storytelling narrative or a gallery. Have you come across any matrices that present design model/purpose? Your after slide is one of the most subtle examples of an assertion-evidence slide I've seen! I'll be able to use it to help students move from Alley's examples to the design of more age/experience appropriate visuals.
