Firstly, it gives a great overview, allowing the &#8216;storyline&#8217; to be sussed out at a glance.  Secondly it contains an absolute wealth of detailed information that one can spend ages getting to grips with.  Thirdly, of course, it&#8217;s just visually interesting.<\/p>\n<p>All in all a nice combination.  Heaven alone knows how long it takes to create but if you want to create a killer presentation, I&#8217;d say that finding the time to do this kind of thing is actually a presentation skill in itself!  :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve banged on recently about graphics in presentations&#8230; seems I&#8217;m not the only one interested!
