I want your really good PowerPoint slides

zgrossbart

I’m working on a book and I need good examples of presentation slides. I want slides that are clear, compelling, and informative. They can be PowerPoint, Open Office, or anything else. Preferably they would be from real presentations rather than samples.

Where should I look for really good slides? Do you have any to share? Post a link to a really good one and I might feature it in my new book.

Thanks,
Zack

Oxymoron.

Which is precisely why the book will be a smashing success. =)

Try contacting the Washington DC AIGA, the DC Art Director’s Club, and DC area design firms. Many federal agencies and contractors require copies of presentations and only accept Powerpoint files. This has created a market for good Powerpoint presentations and local designers are all over it.

Thank you to everyone for the suggestions. I have contact the Washington DC AIGA.

What if I opened the question up to really good slides from any tool? Does anyone have any presentation slides from any tool that are particularly good?

Thanks,
Zack

If you find some interesting slides, please share here.

Here are my two best slides...

Hello Everyone,

dontbug me asked me to post if I found a source for good slides. Check out http://www.slideshare.net/. They are a social networking sight around slide presentations.

Cheers,
Zack

Next time in the future get your self a mac and buy an application called “Keynote”. Its better, and cleaner then PowerPoint.

As for the layer, I would use Helvetica Bold as your font, keep every sentence on the left, and align the text. Set the background black and the font white. thats probably the most beautiful color combination there is, also you show contrast so it’ll be easier to read.

It’ll look good.
