TLC Creative Services develops a lot of PowerPoint templates each year. Most templates begin with developing a series of concepts which are refined to meet each client/project needs. Here is an example of a recent project and 3 initial concepts developed (client chose the top option with some revision requests).

Another Example of Converting Bullet List to Visual Layout
The original slide in this project was not bad, but it was still a bullet list. After confirming the message, the text was minimized more and the 3 column layout developed to visually support the presenters talk.

Global Expansion as a Visual
For this speaker support presentation, the global adoption of the discussed medical procedure was the point being presented. This strong visual was developed (and animated) to show the global reach of the procedure.

Visual Layout for “Business Development” Slide
We strive to minimize bullet lists, simplify text and make presentation content as visual as possible. Of course, the first step is discovering how the presentation will be used (speaker support, knowledge reporting, handouts, etc.). For a recent presentation, there was a lot of data that needed to be included, but the request was to also minimize the use of bullet lists (always a great sign when the presenter understands the need to help the audience capture the slide content!).
For this slide, an overview of the Business Development phases of the company, we minimized the text and categorized it. Then a visual layout was created to clearly show the 3 phases, label the phases and finally add the detail text into each phase. The end result is here, and it was a lot easier for the audience to remember than a slide full of bullets!
