Continuum Diagram

This slide shows the powerful combination of an image produced with Perspector and a shadow effect available in PowerPoint 2007.

Produced by David Wigston, a Senior Lecturer at the University of South Africa, it instantly illustrates the point that there is a discussion to be had about the continuum between quantitative and qualitative data, when one becomes the other, and whether trade-offs are made along the way.

It is worth noting that the gradient fill on the cylinder was achieved by creating and using a picture fill. Read more about how to do this.

Lessons from marketing

This presentation, for a client, shows one approach to replacing boring PowerPoint bullets with a more interesting Perspector-generated image which was adapted from the Perspector Library.

Although with Perspector, you can not animate parts of an image (such as list items) to appear one after the other, there are work-arounds, such as this. You can turn the need to repeat images on different slides to your visual advantage by, as in this case, part-turning the text that has been viewed already.

You are welcome to adapt this for your own use, but I need to point out that you must change the background in the master, because this is a commercial image from a PowerFinish template design slide set. (http://www.powerfinish.com/)

Animated funnel diagram

Joachim Fritze shows how Perspector images and animations can be combined with PowerPoint animations to illustrate a buisness 'story'. In this case, turning contacts into accounts. As he says, "The sequence shows the principle of making hundreds of contacts, transfering some of them into prospects, losing some, and finally convincing some prospects to buy the offered product and become reliable users of your goods."

Spinning cube image

My client wanted to publicise their award on their web site - with Perspector it took minutes to produce this simple, yet effective image.

Alternative slide format

I am office manager for a charity and was asked to present information about our contracts system (called Tulip). I’d started with many slides full of bulleted text, but I was bored with them and I realised the staff would be too.

I decided, therefore, that I would put all the bullet information into handouts and just use PowerPoint (with Perspector) to map out the topics as I was going through them. I started with a bulleted slide to lull them into thinking this was going to be the usual kind of presentation.

Using Perspector shapes I then set out the stages of the system I was going to talk them through. I didn’t do anything fancy with Perspector, just used a variety of shapes and colours.

Although this was very simple, it made a big impression on the staff, and they still remember my 3D presentation! My manager, has even asked me to do this training with staff in our other UK offices!
