Multimedia has transformed the world. No longer are messages delivered in black text on white paper; now they swirl onto the page in multicolor extravaganzas accompanied by music. This makes for an exiting and fun method of communicating with others. It also makes serious demands on your image management skills. In this chapter you will explore these possibilities as they relate to presentations.

Summary
After the content, background, and graphics are done, it's time for special effects
Special effects refers to animation/motion
Two types of motion in PowerPoint
Transitions (the effect of a slide coming onto the screen)
Animation (the effect of individual objects entering the slide)
Transitions are the effect as you move from one slide to the next
Can be simple or complex
Can be
automatic (after a set period of time)
Manual (mouse click required)
Make sure the transition helps to clarify your message or makes the presentation more effective
Transitions can help keep the audience engaged, which improves effectiveness
Animation refers to the movement of objects onto the slide
Animation was improved significantly in PowerPoint 2002 (Office XP)
Animation can be applied using schemes or can be custom
Text can be animated by bullet, word, or even letter-by-letter (be careful!)
A few schemes may help keep the audience focused
Too much animation will detract from your message
If less is better for images and text, then it's surely true in the use...
