And no – we’re not talking about a stage career here – simply about how to add a dramatic touch to your next PowerPoint Presentation – with a little hands-on animation.
Here are two of our top reasons why animation makes sense:
i) When you’re presenting, marking the transitions between one slide and the next helps punctuate and prevent the spiel from becoming (or seeming) like a relentless barrage of bullet-points.
ii) If you enable animation for the bullet-points, each dropping into the screen one at a time, for example, you can be sure that each will register and impact individually.
