Powerpoint Power Points

In 1984 a man named Robert Gaskins invented Powerpoint.

Today, Microsoft (who now owns it since 1987) Powerpoint remains a leading software choice for professional, business, and casual computer users worldwide.

Used to create presentations for projects ranging from very simple single page documents that outline a product or service on up to larger full-scale projects that might encompass a full company demonstration or one of its larger projects or services.

Many folks use Powerpoint for fun things like party invites and slide shows. Or maybe just as an organization tool to put notes together...

Regardless of its many uses, it remains a very important tool to most businesses today and that's for several reasons:

1. It's easy to work with
2. It typically comes with most computer system packages so it's easily available
3. Works on both Macintosh and Windows platforms
4. Easy to email
5. Easy to share with others
6. Inexpensive design solution

One of the challenges with Powerpoint has been it's designability. That is, it's ability to create top-notch, professional graphics to develop compelling presentations. What I personally see quite a bit are presentations rendered by some of the world's largest organizations, thrown together in a mish-mash of poor images, photos, hard-to-read graphics, and slews of varying sized text that make what looks like a 2nd graders' informal book report.

What's odd, is that these types of presentations are STILL widely used. And I'm talking about top professionals meeting with other top notch leaders and sharing some of this stuff... I'm telling you, I'll probably write a blog some day with some of these examples just to humor you - and I guarantee humor is what it's about.

The key with Powerpoint is to have a professional design working on it with you to provide you with the design eye needed to help you better organize your presentation. As we do here (more and more today), we'll work on these to provide awesome, eye-catching graphics, branding consistency so your company image/brand is consistent throughout. We'll make sure the same template is throughout and consistent with font types, colors, and sizes. We'll be sure the diagrams "work" for you rather than just plopped info on the page...

What's more (and this is important), we thoroughly push the software to fully use all of its available actions, graphic capabilities, and functionalities... This software can really sizzle. You just have to know what the program offers, and how to use them all. Match that with a good design eye - and voila, a magnificent presentation.

Powerpoint  — even with everything we do in our company with some of the most advanced software graphic programs — is an amazing tool. Flexible, a lot of outstanding effects, and widely accepted...
