PowerPoint Fashion Trends

Find out what is hot and what is not.

PowerPoint fashion trends for 2007. Today's PowerPoint presentations look different from ten years ago. In part, that's because we get bored with old fashions, and look for fresher approaches to design and presentation.

In 2007, design elements from Web 2.0 will be crossing over into your PowerPoint presentations. Which Web 2.0 design elements will you see (and see abused) in 2007?

1. Slim and simple layouts. One to three columns is about all you see in Web 2.0 design. This slim and simple look will be mimicked in PowerPoint presentations. Easy on the eyes, easy to print. What's not to like about this Zen-like trend?

2. Everything is central. Five years ago, just about everything you saw on the web was left-justified. Now take a gander. The Web 2.0 "look" is mostly centered on the page. PowerPoint fashion translation: you'll see less "left-justified" slide content as well.

3. Headlines are huge. It's easier for an aging population to read than ever before! But be careful: not every word on PowerPoint slides will be monster-huge. The trend is for BIG HEADS to accompany compelling graphics. The headline text (and perhaps a slightly smaller subhead) will contain the most important written information on the slide.
