Geetesh: Art, tell us about PresenterMedia. Also, in which ways can this site help PowerPoint designers get good content?
Art: PresenterMedia is a unique design company. We utilize 3D design and video animation applications to create vibrant and compelling imagery exclusively for PowerPoint. Some may call what we are doing 3D clip art, and while that may be appropriate, the term ‘clip art’ really fails to do justice to the high quality 3D imagery we are producing on a daily basis.
We have created 3D animations and images in a variety of business subjects tailored directly to the PowerPoint user. Our special PNG images fit seamlessly into existing presentations due to their unique transparent backgrounds.
PresenterMedia is also unique in that each of our images and animations can be customized before downloading. A customer can control the amount of reflections and the shadow strength our 3D images cast on a presentation slide.
We are one of the first PowerPoint template designers to release animated templates for PowerPoint 2010. The new video features of PowerPoint 2010 have allowed us to provide our customers with a very rich media experience.
PresenterMedia customers are able to download unlimited templates, animations, and clip art through a PresenterMedia subscription.
Geetesh: We looked at your web site, and one page about the team at PresenterMedia caught our attention. Can you tell us more?
Art: PresenterMedia is a company made up entirely of artists. Since 1996, we’ve created animations and artwork for other design companies and distributors. We’ve created hundreds of thousands of images for companies, such as Animation Factory, Clipart, and JupiterImages. PresenterMedia is the natural extension of the talent and skills we’ve learned working for others.
