Strategies and Tips for Professional Formatting in PowerPoint

I encourage everyone to treat this not as a how-to manual of how things should be done, but as one professional sharing their techniques with another. Some of it may be applicable to your workflow and some may not. One of my personal keys to success has
been the environment I work in. By spending the past number of years developing and running the PowerPoint high level presentations for large corporate events I have had the opportunity to work with many incredibly talented designers – more than the typical designer ever has opportunity to interact with. By discussing limitations of the application, approaches to formatting and receiving feedback from others - the insights and ideas have meshed into a series of best practices that guide us at TLC Creative Services in developing professional presentations.
