You do not have to pay a professional presentation designer to do basic chart make-overs. Here are the secrets:

• Take out ugly reflections, bevels, and huge shadows 
• Center things properly
• Align and distribute any object on the slide
• Cut words on bullet points
• Group bullet point lists in sub categories
• Take out random colors and replace with those in the logo
• Remove Times Roman and Comic Sans and replace with Arial
• Take out italics and underline
• Round chart numbers and other financial information
• No ticks on chart axes
• Chart gap width to 50%
• Titles all in the same place, on 1 line (chop words if necessary)
• Replace fuzzy logos with hi-res ones
• Fix hanging bullet points (i.e., the next line starts under the bullet, rather than at the indent)
• Reset images to their original aspect ratio
