Likewise I agree with you regarding "KEYNOTE" - the most wonderful presentation tool that us Mac users give thanks for every time we fire it up. I do a lot of presentation training and one of my biggest pieces of advice is to buy a Mac laptop so you can use Keynote. It will change your life. So thanks for your input Simon, Andrew Hi Simon,

Couple of points I'd like to add though. Firstly, the slide set itself used bullet points. It got away with them by hiding them by giving them a slide to themselves and spreading a list over seven or eight sides.... :) More importantly, the point about cutting out your pics is really important, so I was slightly surprised that you didn't mention Keynote. The "Instant Alpha": function there allows you to do the Photoshop stuff you're advocating on the fly, as you click and drag your pics into the presentation itself. Cheers..... Simon Hi – nice set of slides.

I recall going along to a Chamber of Commerce luncheon, and a policeman from the Gold Coast gave a powerpoint preso about night street saftey...Every slide had an essay of text on it.. talk about falling asleep! If you want a good idea of what not to do, and I know Andrew and Nicky would enjoy this, as they are the best presenters in Cairns, check this out on my Blog. http://www.cairnsblog.net/2008/02/i-hate-powerpoints.html I know what you mean Andrew, and you are a living example of how to tell your story visually.

I use this methodolgy in my photography workshops, a lot of the time using my own photos, very powerful way to learn because humans are visual animals. Photography and images, used in the right way, especially humourously, can awake a very dull executives key note presentation, pity bar charts and graphs haven't been outlawed yet!! Cheers SR Great link AG, thanks.
