We all know that we should avoid using big blocks of text on presentation slides. It both overwhelms and bores the audience. However, sometimes it’s necessary. In this tutorial, I demonstrate a quick and easy way to emphasize portions of paragraphhs within Keynote slides. The result is dynamic and visually appealing. Check out the video below.

I just added a new Keynote theme designed to my growing list. Improve Presentations has built nine crisp, clean Keynote templates which are available for $15.00 each. The themes are well designed with high quality graphics and fonts. They are geared towards the business world, but could easily be adapted for any setting. Many of the themes are also available for purchase as .ppt files. Head over to Improve Presentations and check them out.

I’m regularly exploring sites like Dribble, Slideshare, and Note and Point for presentation inspiration. I’ve come across some amazing slide decks which really stretch the capabilities of Keynote. I figured I’d share five of my favorites. All files are in .pdf form, hosted on Note and Point.

Enjoy!
