Creating presentations is a nightmare for a lot of people, Entrepreneurs and media professionals included.  I for one love creating power-point presentations and designing them.

Honestly, it’s not that hard! All it takes is a few steps to make sure that there are minor design elements that work on the aesthetics of the presentation. There are basic flaws that most presentations have – too much text. A lot of people add too much text to their presentations. Remember it’s a powerpoint presentation and NOT a word document.
