15 Ways of Visualizing Corporate PowerPoint Slides for Presentations (Tips and Tricks)

Introduction

Every day at Chillibreeze we go through many customer emails and enquiries that revolve around one problem.

Visualizing Corporate PowerPoint Slides

They say that pictures speak a thousand words. So does visualization in any form. Currently, people are more into visuals than earlier. It doesn’t matter whether you are a millennial or baby boomer. Browsing through your feeds on any social platforms, you will likely stop to read something that has visual or videos.

The same goes for PowerPoint presentations. Especially when your audience has been sitting through a number of other things through the day. When you are being flooded with content every day, it’s hard to hold it all in your overloaded brain. Here is where visualization helps. Visuals leave a lasting impression. If not always, at least those that stand out, stick in your memory. You want your presentation to be something that your audience will remember and recall easily. And great visuals are the only way to do that. When you can’t cut/minimize text or move it to a new slide because it would mess with the thought flow, it becomes difficult for you to visualize slides. We have compiled 15 such situations that all presenters face and have tried to give you a visual version.

1. Turn simple text into Graph

When your slide contains percentages, you can easily convert them to visual charts.

2. Use of graphic icons

Icons help hold the attention of the audience. Replacing or supporting content with icons increases the attention of the audience. But avoid overuse of graphic icons just for the sake of visual effects.

3. Break down the content into separate boxes

When a slide is text heavy, it is best to cut the content down. You can convert it into points as shown here.

4. Break down the content into separate boxes with icons

In addition to breaking your slide content down to consumable pieces, the use of icons adds a perceivable visual impact to your presentation.

5. Flow diagram style

There are many ways you can visualize the content of your slides. You just have to get creative. Here is an example of how to convert a plain text slide into a flow chart. Depending on the flow of the content you can design the layout of the slide.
