Big, confident images look better on a presentation slide. The maximum size of your image is achieved when you let it “bleed” of the page (the term comes from the age of print, where the ink would drip of the corner).
These full size images look great if your presentation is just images. In most cases, my client work is not. Hence, I prefer to frame my images within a box of white (or black). Some people say it is bad practice, I disagree:
- You do not have to worry about legibility of slide titles
- Photo slides look consistent with other slides in the presentation
- I think, it actually looks very distinguised
My presentation app SlideMagic caters for both formats, so don’t worry if you disagree with me. You can clone the slides below (and all other slides I have used on the blog) into your own SlideMagic presentation via this link.
