"Trick Out My PowerPoint" is a blog series illustrating how non-graphic designers can create visually appealing slide decks to engage their audience. This deck includes ideas to improve a set of slides used in a presentation in November 2008. "Trick Out My PowerPoint Episode 1 (Sample 2)" provides another perspective on what could be done to improve upon the original series of slides. The original slide deck can be found on SlideShare under the title: Trick Out My PowerPoint Episode 1 (Original)

29. Trick Out My PowerPoint!
This slide deck is a sample used in a blog post called “Trick Out
My PowerPoint!” to illustrate how some small changes to a
series of PowerPoint slides can make a big different in the
visual experience of learners.
It’s a variation of a PowerPoint slide deck that was originally
used in a presentation to the Association of Experiential
Education International Conference in November 2008.
