There are many ways to wreck a PowerPoint slide. Behold these before-and-after gems from some of the worst train wrecks we’ve ever seen.

At the Presentation Summit, a gathering of some of the most passionate and vested presentation professionals in the world, guess how many of the attendees consider themselves professional designers. We know because we asked: less than 30%. Out in the world, where 65 million PowerPoint presentations are created each day, the percentage drops to around 5%. And yet, we are asked to design presentations every single day. No wonder “Death by PowerPoint” is in everyone’s vocabulary.

This session will not show you how to become a brilliant designer; that is an affront to the people who really are. More important, this session will help you get by with the skills that you do have, by showing you makeovers of slides that do not require a degree in the arts, and in fact were performed by a member of that massive majority not possessing one.

These are before-and-after examples of real slides, created by real people, for real circumstances. They carry the hope that you will watch them and think to yourself, “Hey, I can do that, too.”

• When and how to illustrate a slide
• How best to utilize white space
• Using transparent shapes—best problem solver ever
• When to animate and when not to
• Decluttering and deuglifying
