PowerPoint

The biggest thing I learned from the texts I read, was to never use the templates that are provided by PowerPoint. They are not what the audience wants to see and they are bland and boring. I before thought that they were the best templates to use and had never thought of creating my own. I think the biggest five guidelines to use are; don't use the templates that PowerPoint provides, do not use a lot of texts, try to avoid using cheesy clip art, do not use a lot of animation and sound effects and most importantly, keep it simple.
