Any tips for dealing with in-house clients that insist on bringing you their finished presentations and asking you to jazz it up or make it sexy. I still have the deadline pressures and ever increasing last minute contributors that will take a well designed slide(s) and make it look like an idea they borrowed from another presentation and stretched it to fit into theirs; or molded it to have multiple meanings.

I have thought of conducting mini seminars to help educate them on the need for slidemapping and including the benefits of involving their designers up front. But most are executives and or under time constraints that just don’t include sitting down with a lowly presentation specialist. Except to say, “I need this by c.o.b.”
