We all remember the first time we discovered animations in
PowerPoint. Every presentation became a busy collage of color and motion. After
first being released, PowerPoint quickly became the industry standard for
creating slide presentation. PowerPoint is a powerful tool with many cool
features, but should be displaced soon by Apple’s Keynote. Apple created
Keynote with design in mind. After using both PowerPoint and Keynote, I found
Keynote to be far superior. The user interface and workflow are easier and
faster in Keynote. I was able to throw together a high quality presentation in
a short time frame because Keynote makes everything so easy to do. Keynote
offers a feature called Magic Move that blows PowerPoint out of the water.
Magic Move allows you to quickly add a transition between slides that use the
same elements but where the location changes between slides. A good slide deck
is all about the appeal to design and making it engaging for the viewer. While
PowerPoint is powerful, Keynote offers an easier, better production package to
create an engaging slide deck. If you haven’t checked out Keynote, I recommend you
check it out today!
