Leprechaun Clipart for St. Patrick’s Day

Monday, February 8th, 2010

I’ve a bit of Irish blood in me so I thought it would be ok for me to make some new Leprechaun graphics for St. Patrick’s Day.  And since everyone is a little Irish on March 17th, I thought I’d introduce the newest green member to PresenterMedia.  Meet Liam the Leprechaun.  He’s a wee bit on the short side, but he sure does make up for it in sheer Irish spirit.

Liam has been hiding his pot of gold, but he is available to help you with you next project.  I still plan to add some more of Liam to the site.  There will be a few animations and at least one animated template as well.

If there is anything you would like to see Liam doing, please let us know and we will add it to the site.

New Animated Template Category

Friday, February 5th, 2010

We’ve been totally taken with the new video features of PowerPoint 2010, so we have created an new category of video animated PowerPoint templates.

Notice in the example above, the text is over the video.  This was something that was impossible in previous versions of PowerPoint.  Also of note, the above video was created directly from PowerPoint 2010.  So it is now very easy to convert your slide show into a video.

Unlike past versions of PowerPoint, PPT 2010 handles video just like another element in your presentation.  Therefore you can control the depth of the video in your presentation.  For example you can use the video as a background behind your text or other graphics, or layer the video over other elements.   We typically build our templates using PNG images with transparent backgrounds.  Using PowerPoint 2010 we can take those PNG images and layer them in creative ways over our video to create new stunning video animated PowerPoint templates.  We hope you enjoy them.

If there is a specific presentation theme you would like to see us add to PresenterMedia.  Please let us know.

Good Presenting!

New Tax Time Clipart

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Here in the USA its the time of the year where everyone starts collecting their receipts and getting all the paperwork ready that is necessary to pay our taxes to the government.   Uncle Sam is always right there to get his share of every dollar.  So in honor of the tax season one of our owners, Judd Albrecht, has started to build out our collection of Uncle Sam graphics.

Here are some samples of the Uncle Sam and Tax related clipart we’ve made so far.  Be sure to check back for more, and let us know if there is a specific type of tax or accounting image you would like us to create.

Tax Day in the US always falls on April 15th, or the following Monday if the 15th should happen to fall on a weekend.
