A rule to live by when creating PowerPoint templates is to keep it simple.
Too many times we often feel the need to cram as much information into our presentations as possible; usually this information is in the form of text. This ends up leaving our viewers overwhelmed with way to much information to absorb at one time. It's kind of like after you get done reading a page in a book and wonder what the heck you have just read; the information sometimes just doesn't stick. This happens to me way too often. LOL. So how can we prevent this information overload? One way would be to use fewer words to get your point across and going into your subject matter more verbally.
When you fill your PowerPoint slides with too much text it becomes like reading that book page to your viewers and you will find that they will have a hard time retaining the information you are trying to get them to remember. So how do you get your point across with fewer words? Well research has found that people remember more when the aid of pictures is involved. This is called the picture superiority effect, which states that concepts are more likely to be remembered if they are shown as pictures instead of words.
The best way to use this is by adding high quality 3d clip art to your PowerPoint Presentations and outlining your main points with text. You will be able to add to those points with verbal communication. Beware of using to many clip art images as your presentations can start to become cluttered and confusing to you viewers. Using about two clip art images per slide will be a good amount to back up your points. If your slide looks too cluttered with clip art try putting it on the slide following your text information.
I Hope this information was very useful, to find more information on clip art in PowerPoint see the link below.
Good Presenting!
