Slide presentations meant to recruit people to your cause should be exciting and dynamic! Let’s see how we can improve on a slide that has some good information but a plain delivery.
Before
This slide comes from a presentation from the Coast Guard Auxiliary. They are trying to recruit new members and provide information on joining. But the way this slide is laid out, the CGA doesn’t seem like an exciting place to serve. In fact, this looks like a picture of a leisurely cruise around the bay. Not the stuff heroes are made from.
After
I found the most exciting photo of the CGA in action that I could find and split it into two slides. Take a look!
Key Points
Don’t put too much text on your slides and use dynamic, exciting photographs when you can. For more information on finding free photos for your presentations, click here.
