Whether it's for a sale's meeting, recruiting investors, or simply trying to impress your boss, one day or another, you will need to create an impressive presentation.

Sometimes a presentation without images can be very dry. However, you MUST be very cautious when choosing clip art or pictures. The images provided with your presentation software are not the best to use because they are dated and very amateurish. Although some clip art are fun to look at and sometime amusing, they do not illustrate the seriousness of your professionalism. They are very distracting and do not convey the right message to your audience.

Recommended Formula:

• Keep it simple and clear.
• Find a simple theme and choose 2-3 matching colours.
• Use more graphs and lines.
• Select images that are meaningful to the subject in your content.
• Stay away from clip art that are cartoon style; instead use professional illustrations purchased through royalty image services.
• Use images with a transparent background or with matching colours to your page. That way your image will blend in as opposed to being distractive.

Don't forget that appearances are very important and keeping your presentation simple is more.

Put these tips into practice and you are guaranteed a better presentation. For further information on building presentations that sell please contact us.
