To help a medical device company stand out I introduced some bold coloring. I also used shadowing, bevels and negative space to create the content area. Here is the template developed for medical device maker, Zylon.
1. Theme Graphic
2. Title Slide
3. Content Slide

I recently had a project with the upcoming Batman movie, The Dark Knight. Had a lot of fun getting sneak peaks at images and footage of the movie. I was tasked with developing a PowerPoint template that carried the dark color scheme and edgyness of the movie. Of course using an all black color pallette is not that easy, but it did prove to be a fun challenge! Here are the 3 slide layouts used for the template:

Much of my time is spent interpretting information and creating a visual design that simplifies and makes it look ‘nifty’. Here is a quick before-&-after from a recent presentation.
Before:
After:
– Note: slide loses a bit of visual aesthetics as client content and template removed. Also, the animation is not seen, which helped emphasize the yellow section remained consistent over the 2 years. My slide was also built using PPT2007 visual effects.

So with PPT 2007 we can quickly create fun, and editable, graphics. Using a stock photo and our sample image I quickly created this slide in about 45 seconds.
– I first set the image to appear in an autoshape (thought bubble).
– Then I used the autoshape adjustments to move the thought bubble trail to our characters head.
– I applied a stroke to the autoshape, colored it (dark blue) and made it thicker.
– Last I applied a drop shadow to the thought bubble and the character.

Here is one of the logo concepts developed for a series of presentations.
All design was done in Illustrator to create scalable vector art (logo was used from presentations to print pieces to large banners). From there it was imported into photoshop and saved as a .png with transparency for use in presentations.
Note: we developed many logo concepts and this was my favorite, but not the “winner”.

One of my recent projects was developing a 3 screen presentation for a large corporate event. Each screen was widescreen format (16×9). My goal was to create flowing template art that visually radiates from the center screen to the outer screens. Here are all three screens:
Here is a bit closer look at the left screen:

It has been a road full of design choices – and we have a winner!
(I will let you guess which version of this design was selected)

Hey this is good stuff! But after some more discussion it was back to Illustrator and PhotoShop for a few more options – so when do I get busy working on those presentations…

After some discussion regarding colors and use of logo (to include presentation template, event signage and print pieces), it was back to the drawing board for a few more ideas:

So on this project I was given the theme text, “The Ride of Your Life”, and the visual direction. From there it was up to me to select color scheme, graphics, etc.
Here are the first two logo concepts:
