a few years back, i was doing a few months contract work for Allstream in Toronto...part of that was spent doing endless powerpoint presentations for different people in the marketing dept.
much like twokids just said, i just did all my layouts, art, text you name it, in photoshop, and just used PPT to display it all together...
the art files were all kept in meticulous order in their native layers (just incase of changes)...these particular presentations were almost always needed for 'one-offs'...wouldn't be used again...so they wouldn't (for instance) need to access the text layers to change words etc...
the only reason PPT was used was that all the people there were familiar with using it, and when they were giving their presentations wanted that sense of familliarity....frankly, most suits don't like learning new shit....at any rate, all the presentations i did worked out quite well, and one in particular one some awards (some 'internal' award for excellence or something)...it was given to the lady giving the presentation..lol...not me, the guy that created it hahaha) but in her defence, it was massive, she wrote the whole thing and ever since that successful colaberation, we've worked together on tons of projects since....
so...although i'm no huge fan of PPT, using it in the past has lead to good things career wise....
