Does all the corporate presentation look the same? Boring plain corporate template?

David Anderson demonstrates, in this online tutorial, how to create a different slide design for your next presentation. It is a magazine cutout look.

UPDATE: Vivek Singh published some pertinent observations about this magazine cutout look:

1. Situation: You need to know when to use this technique and how. This template design should be used for informal situations and definitely not for quarterly review presentations. However, marketers and advertising professionals do have some more ‘creative’ liberty to use it in formal settings.
