Anybody have examples of good presentation layouts?
I need to make a presentation for final rounds with a boutique... basically saying 'why do I want to work here.'
Any advice?
Oh and please don't link me to the Citi thing, haha.

Honestly, just keep it simple. Have a theme of two or three colors (for fonts and everything) and don't use some hideous graphic as a background. It's much more important to make sure all the text and images line up properly.
make sure formatting is PERFECT, this is what bankers do for a living. If you are going to through any graphs or pictures in there, make sure to use the align and sizing functions.
A variation of the built in ones, change the background and overall theme color - perhaps the font? Keep it professional looking though, stick with one theme.
Damn, I planned on linking to the Citi thing. HA
A lot of mistakes with basic grammar?
Make sure any pics or graphs are sized the same. Short to the point and every heading should be centered or all the way to the left so headers don't jump as you move from slide to slide. Basically, just perfect.

LOL! That's awesome, did you make it?

Personally, I don't like how the heading jumps around due to some slides having a subheading and others not. I would throw the subheading under the line on top, that way when switching from slide to slide all of the titles will line up perfectly.
fantastic
formatting is key. internal consistency (like date formats etc). make it look pretty and make sure it works as a slide. test - try to present it and see if it flows and works as a page.
That link is hilarious!
I'm an engineer (right now) trying to move into IB, but is the presentation concept really THAT difficult in IB or Consulting?
I mean i know pitch books and presentations are important, but I didn't think it was that difficult to throw together presentations that look nice and get points across (i've done quite a few in my life)
Well, you have a lot to learn... we get presentations from clients and are always a little disappointed... presentations in this industry are the main output... they have to be polished pieces of art....
Sorry to threadjack:
Does anyone know if PowerPoint has an internal color scheme generator?
Like the one on this site:
