Project 2: How to make a good Power Point

Here is one more:

Project 2

For those of you considering Power Point as a format for your next project, here are my expectations:

Please create a clear, uncluttered by words, visually appealing presentation. I will take off points for poor style and structure.

To give you an idea of what I expect, below are two examples of good (in my opinion) Power Point presentations. Both address the topic of creating Power Point presentations. The first one ("Death by Power Point") was created by Alexei Kapterev from Moscow, Russia. Yes, we, former Soviets, get it about making a strong point with images...

The second one (Power Point Trends) is a good example of a Power Point presentation that presents information with very few words.
