Designers hate PowerPoint: it’s a well-established fact. In fact, I would say that designers just generally hate MS Office. It’s clumsy, auto-corrects everything you don’t want it to, and hard to control. A much better presentation platform would be presenting a PDF in Acrobat. Everyone has Reader, it looks sleek, gives you more control over fonts, and can do pretty much everything PowerPoint can do, only better.
So why, you may ask yourself, am I embarking on a journey to embrace PowerPoint? Oddly enough, I’ll even admit that I’m a teensy bit excited about it too. Last month, I visited the Creative department in our STL office and was blown away by the presentations they’ve created over there. They don’t even look like typical PowerPoints (you know, the hideous corporate kind with too much verbiage and cheesy transitions): it was more like watching Flash. So while I’ve made PowerPoint presentations look pretty before (and lord knows PR loves its PPT), I’m really excited to push it to its limits. Sometimes the best work is done under restrictions, and *maybe* the same can be said for PowerPoint. I’m willing to give it a second chance.
