About PowerPoint Heaven PowerPoint Heaven is a website providing PowerPoint games, artworks, PowerPoint showcase, animation templates, PowerPoint animations and tutorials on animating Microsoft PowerPoint. All the works found in PowerPoint Heaven are done by Shawn Toh and PowerPoint Heaven's Contributors. Over the years, Microsoft PowerPoint has become a widely-used software in presentations. Examples such as schools, have adopted PowerPoint as the program for student to present their projects and assignments to the class. PowerPoint is a wonderful software for presenting your works, likewise, it can also be a disaster if you fail to understand the purpose of the animations. To create a good presentation, it is hence, essential to handle the animations properly. A simple concept on PowerPoint animations will be, either to make it stand out from the crowd, or don't use it at all. In PowerPoint Heaven, the site will focus mainly on creating amazing animations. And if you are interested in PowerPoint backgrounds, custom templates and other PowerPoint related materials, feel free to take a look at some of the sites under the links page. So who are recommended to use the animations found here? Animations are recommended for school's presentations, curriculum activities' camp briefing, screensaver, and etc. As for lecturers and businessmen in my opinion, should minimize (not eliminating though) the use of animations, concentrating on the look and content of the presentations. So why are animations useful? In projects' presentations, lecturers have seen hundreds of slides throughout their years of teaching. By making a presentation that stands out, it not only improves the overall quality of your presentation but also allows the lecturer to leave a deep impression. By combining good contents, presentation skills and animations, your overall presentation will then easily outshines other teams. So, why not start making your lecturers and classmates go, "WOW!" now?

Personal Thoughts I could still remember at that time, where people were still using PowerPoint 97 and saving their presentations into floppy disks, always worrying that the file will be too big. But right now, given the large removable storage devices, there is no fear of it anymore. I have been using PowerPoint since 1998. Many a times, people thought my PowerPoint presentations were done using Macromedia Flash, because they have no idea how I created these animations. Some also asked whether I have used any third-party software. My answer is always No. People often ask me to help or teach them on making these presentations. But through speech, it is very difficult for your point to get across, hence, I decided to set up a site. My goal is to spread 'The Art of PowerPointing', so that everyone's presentations can be interesting and draw the attentions of the audiences rather than sticking with distracting animations that you will rather want the person to present his work in a wordpad instead. The purpose of creating this site is to educate people regarding the use of Custom Animations. From my point of view, animations are often the cause for destroying the whole presentation, because most presentations that you often see, contain those 'I-already-expected-that' animations. Hence, by surfing through this site, I hope everyone will be able to understand more about maximizing PowerPoint. Back  |  Top
