We ve all been bombarded by the same old Microsoft Clip Art Gallery images, simply because they are convenient and we've used them successfully with the other programs in the MS-Office suite. One easy way to incorporate fresh images is to invest in a few clip art CD s and import the images into PowerPoint. One place you can go is the Internet. The Internet offers a seemingly limitless number of images. Not only do you have at your disposal all the images other people use to create their own Web pages, you also have clip art sites, many of which offer their images at no charge.
Tips Keep it simple.
Use visuals to project a single prevailing idea. For example, a slide on crisis management could be illustrated by an image of an individual extinguishing a fire. Don't overuse animations. Use simple backgrounds. Make sure the background provides sufficient contrast to your slide material.
