PowerPoint tip 14

PowerPoint tip 14.

Use high-quality graphics
Use high-quality graphics including photographs. You can take your own high-quality
photographs with your digital camera, purchase professional stock photography, or
use the plethora of high-quality images available on line (be cautious of copyright
issues, however). Never simply stretch a small, low-resolution photo to make it fit
your layout – doing so will degrade the resolution even further.
Avoid using PowerPoint Clip Art or other cartoonish line art. Again, if it is included in
the software, your audience has seen it a million times before. It may have been
interesting in 1993, but today the inclusion of such clip art often undermines the
professionalism of the presenter. There are exceptions, of course, and not all
PowerPoint art is dreadful, but use carefully and judiciously.
