It's Friday and I was looking on the web for some inspiration for sprucing up some power pint slides when I came across this Power Point 2010 created video. It has some sheer awesome effects made off a group of power point presentations and it has given me some new inspiration. Tom wrote in one of his recent blogs to get inspiration from others and I think this video does exactly that. Anyway here is my newest ppt inspiration. Lets see some of yours.

Thanks James! I am going to keep going back to that video for inspiration.
I recently used inspiration (actually, it was a Christmas gift) from Tom's post - http://www.articulate.com/rapid-elearning/check-out-this-free-powerpoint-template-tutorial/
I swapped out a few items and came up with the main menu for a project. This is my first kick at it. I plan on adding some animation.

So much awesome inspiration! Those Soap vids were amazing. I went thru the whole series. Well worth it.
Unfortunately, that led me to some other youtube vids that were not so fantastic. But hey, sometimes learning what NOT to do is just as good.
Doug, wow. That menu is gorgeous. Just that slide alone has inspired me. Thanks so much for sharing!
I wish I didn't have to run off to a meeting right now. I'd rather dig through my own inspiration files and post them for this thread. I'll definitely be returning...
Great idea for a thread, James. Can't wait to see what else shows up here.
I like the silver rings around each circle. How did you do that? I'm always amazed at what people can do with design
Hi Rachelle,
I cheated and used Art Text 2 on my Mac.
I bet someone in the forum can figure out how to do that with PPT. Any takers?

Shapes can be filled with images so find something shinny and fill your doughnut shape with it and add a drop shadow. For the inner circle you could make a circle and fill it with an image as well. Pretty easy to do.
Kind of rough and the colors are a little off. Thanks for the idea and challenge...it got me motivated!
I would have to say, a get a lot of inspiration from Tom's blog and the Guru award winners. They have a ton of little things that make me want to do a better job in getting a user's attention. my PPT ideas/themes usualy spring from a simple graphic or use of a picture.
Nice Michael! Would you consider doing a screenr to show us how you did that?
I will try, right now I can not get Screenr to work. Here is the source file on this project. There are basic instructions on slide one, each part on slide two.
Thank you all...great ideas and thank you for sharing. I am so grateful for the shared templates from Tom and others and modify them, still at a basic level. I have used the green template too, but Doug, your version with the images and silver rings is fantastic.
Found a new site that gave me some really cool inspirations.Author talks about how to do various things in Power Point including drawing 3d images.
