We all know that your presentation shouldn’t all be all about how many animations and effects you can cram into your PowerPoint slides. Yet, your presentation slides should look professional for your business credibility. However, spending an inordinate amount of time creating something special is not a realistic approach. Using some professionally produced tools, themes and templates is an ideal approach. It’s a way to make it look like you’ve had a graphic artist working hard to create professionally designed slides when you have really achieved the effect with little effort.

Visual Exemplars’ Perspector v4.0 is a Microsoft PowerPoint add-in that provides a selection of artwork and styles to create presentations which don’t just use the default themes and fonts. One feature that stands out with Perspector is the ability to create 3D charts from Excel spreadsheets or PowerPoint tables. Sometimes a third dimension makes data easier to visualize or a trend easier to follow. Overall, Visual Exemplar have included a good range of business graphics to match a range of presentation requirements.

Perspector v. 4.0 runs is compatible with Windows Vista/XP/2000 and works with PowerPoint 2007/2003/2002/2000.
