PowerPoint inspiration from 5 Presentations

We all use PowerPoint. Let's not allow our visual aids to get too stale.

There may be a variety of effective alternatives to PowerPoint, but the fact remains: PowerPoint is the most commonly used presentation tool in use today.

If you’re looking for some new ideas and PowerPoint inspiration to make your next slide deck more engaging, here are five examples that offer plenty of elements (vivid imagery, limited/no bullet points, nice font pairings, good content, limited word count) to borrow and transfer over to your visual aids:

The design of this presentation is pretty nice. In terms of the content, I find it odd they never suggest the boomerang!

5. Share the Love with your Audience (@flipchartguy)
