Animated Slide: Spinning Snowflakes
Three snowflakes that move randomly with the breeze in PowerPoint – actually a clever combination of multiple animations and setting their timings make this look so random! We used the Spin, Grow and Shrink, and a Spiral motion path to create the effect. All colors used are Theme aware – so if you move this slide to another presentations, the colors may change! We used PowerPoint 2010 to create this presentation, and it works best in either that version or in PowerPoint 2011 for Mac.

Animated Slide: Hearts Perspective
This heart-full slide has several heart shapes that come onto the slide area, one after the other and then gradually become smaller until they drift into a perspective oblivion. All heart shapes are of a different size, are rotated at a different angle, and also use Theme colors. In addition, each heart has a 3D style applied that has more than one animation added so that the shape diminishes in size as it moves to an imaginary perspective point located off the top right part of the slide. All animations are set to repeat indefinitely so that the hearts keep moving until you navigate to the next slide.

Animated Slide: Valentine Mobiles
These Valentine mobiles are suspended from a rope, and are freely moving pendulum-like in the air with random speeds and directions. All the heart mobiles you see are Theme aware so that their fills change when you apply a new Theme. In addition, we used animation sparingly, yet effectively to create this effect – the entire slide uses just the Spin animation and nothing else! And while this entire animated slide was created in PowerPoint 2010, it should work just fine in PowerPoint 2007 for Windows and PowerPoint 2008/2011 for Mac. All animations are set to repeat indefinitely so that the stars and the hearts keep twinkling and moving until you navigate to the next slide.

Hundreds of stars twinkle, some more stars revolve and the hearts move along, in all their splendor! Amazing that everything can be animated to such precision using nothing other than shapes found within PowerPoint. Of course, we made sure that all shapes were filled with the perfect gradients that were color coordinated to the Theme of the presentation. And while this entire animated slide was created in PowerPoint 2010, it should work just fine in PowerPoint 2007 for Windows and PowerPoint 2008/2011 for Mac. All animations are set to repeat indefinitely so that the stars and the hearts keep twinkling and moving until you navigate to the next slide.

Animated Slide: Animated Text Boxes 001
Two slides that contain text boxes – each character has a different text box associated and animated with it – and all the text is Theme aware so that it changes to the text colors that go well with the active Theme of your presentation. To add more text characters, just copy and paste existing text boxes. The animation and formatting of the text boxes will be copied as they are duplicated. We used PowerPoint 2010 to create this presentation, and it works best in either that version or in PowerPoint 2011 for Mac – although it does seem to work well even in older versions.

Animated Slide: Cube Perspective
This slide uses several squares that were applied 3D styles to end up as cubes. Each cube is of a different size, is rotated at a different angle, and also uses Theme colors – so if you add this slide to another presentation, the cubes will sport colors coordinated with your presentation. Each cube has more than one animation added so that it diminishes in size as it moves to an imaginary perspective point located off the top right part of the slide. All animations are set to repeat indefinitely so that the cubes keep moving until you navigate to the next slide.

Animated Slide: Friday the 13th
This animated slide follows a scary (we tried) Friday the 13th concept. There’s a haunted house, two ghosts, and even a witch who frequently flies across the slide on her broom! We used plenty of animations to create this effect – and although this entire slide was created in PowerPoint 2010, it should work just fine in most PowerPoint versions on Windows and Mac. All animations are set to repeat indefinitely so that the ghost keep on bouncing and fading until you navigate to the next slide.
