We are doing some SlideMagic user interviews and the term “secret weapon” came up. One user, somewhere in a big office tower, is a lone user of SlideMagic and uses the build-in PowerPoint conversion to share slides with colleagues. People start to notice the difference in the slide the person produces.
Here are some situations where you can use SlideMagic as a secret weapon, a starting point for setting up the beginning of your presentation. Most of these slides are very time consuming to set up in PowerPoint or Keynote:
A perfectly lined up, massive grid of logos (you finished the 10 x 4 grid, and now you need to move to 7 x 6 because you got 2 more logos)
Data tables with bar charts that need to line up (oops, 12 rows instead of 10)
2x2, 3x3 matrices, other consulting style matrices
A diagram with boxes that are connected with arrows
A team chart where all the headshots need to have more or less the same size, with the “eye line” at the same height
Nobody needs to know / find out that you use SlideMagic, but we would not mind if you spread the secret…
