Not sure if this falls here or not, but PowerPoint can be pretty artistic if you work it right.
With that being said, anyone have any creative suggestions? |

I'm fairly decent with Powerpoint. What are you attempting to do?

I'm doing a biography on Stafan Sagmeister.
I'm including a few of his works. I have an outline of about 10 slides. |

I'm gonna be honest. I'm not very experienced with Powerpoint. I just know the basics. I just wanted to say that your avatar and signature are hot.

Crap. I'm sorry. I totally meant to look at this when I got home (I don't have Power Point at work).
Would you mind posting up some slide samples? You can post them as jpg's or something to that effect if you'd like. |

QUOTE(manny-the-dino @ Oct 16 2008, 09:57 AM) It's this guy, right? Yeah, that's him.(spelled the name wrong in the post above, oops.) Totally interesting guy. Compelling, unsettling, yet. . .inspiring. I love his use of optical illusions. It sucks because somehow Power POint got wiped off of my computer, along with the rest of microsoft office, so it's only available to me at school. And it's a Mac, and I so don't know how to do screenshots with those. But I'll try to be descriptive about what I have right now: I'm using one of the default slide layouts, it's a contractors desk, with a pencil, and other utensils, and a desk lamp. I thought this made a nice backdrop for a graphic designer, but I don't really like it. I just like to stand out, in a good way, with all of my work. So I was just wondering if there were ways to make the presentation stand out as not bland, or . . .flat, I guess is the word? |

To take screenshots with Mac, click here.
Yeah that template sounds a bit.. boring. I think I already know the answer to this but, are you guys allowed to download stuff at school? Because they have downloadable templates. |

I believe we are.
Yeah I didn't too much like the template. The ones I really did like my teacher used in a power point the week before, so I wasn't feelin' going there. lolz. |

My first suggestion is to find a template. There's a wealth of theme on the internet.
This one is cool. Then you can essentially fill in the blanks with images, text, whatever your heart desires. There are some lovely ones here as well. Download the template (or file). If it's zipped, unzip it. Open the ppt file and you're set. Ah, I just noticed that this has been mentioned. If you can't download at school, save it to a portable drive or cd. |
