Slide Makeover of the Month: January 2015

You are here: Home / Gallery / Slide Makeover of the Month: January 2015

In this makeover, I’ll show you three changes that can be made to this slide that’ll make it POP!

Before

Before slide: spice expiration

This slide came from a deck that introduces the concepts of using herbs and spices in one’s cooking. Although this was from a course offered at the college level, the use of clip art throughout the presentation lent it a childish feeling. I also wanted to address the fact that there are two separate ideas presented on the slide, the second one being incomplete.

After

I split this into two slides, added photographs, and expanded on the idea of writing the purchase date on spice jars to make this slide more informative and visually interesting.

Key Points

Limit yourself to one idea per slide, use photos instead of clip art, and include needed information to create memorable and instructive presentations.
