Microsoft Powerpoint now resides on virtually every PC (and an ever growing number of Macs). It comes with templates and wizards that do their best to ensure that everything you create looks exactly the same as everyone else's...
To be fair this also makes it very easy to stick to a corporate style and layout which is something most organisations strive to achieve.
To get the best from the package you really need to think about your own template
-
You need a distinctive design with a layout appropriate to your content.
-
You need the right colours, the right fonts and the right graphics scaled appropriately for your display.
-
Navigation must be appropriate but need not be completely linear - hyperlinked menus and a home button on every screen let you jump around the presentation as required.
With a logical approach to navigation you can tailor your presentation on the fly and prevent having to rapidly click through any sections that on the day seem less relevant than you first thought.
