How to PowerPoint425_Style

425_Style PowerPoints have a plain white background and do not use any stupid PowerPoint tricks, such as:

ANIMATED

TEXT.

425_Style PowerPoints use black type in an easy to read font.

Color type is only used if there is a reason to do so.

The size of the type is relative to

the content.business Only English is used.

NOTE: Everything on this page is wrong. Do as the slide says not as it does.

Images in 425_Style PowerPoints are always clean and sharp. They are in focus and do not have any pixelization. Originals are not cropped or distorted

This is an image that an foolish student had in her PowerPoint presentation. It isn’t clean and sharp. It is out of focus and shows pixelization. It is cropped resulting in a very different looking photograph from the one Herb Green took..

The only thing the imprudent student didn’t do was distort the image.
