Not only will this post be brief, but probably one of the most useful posts I've ever shared.
Clay Hebert, founder of Tribes Win, shared with me a SlideShare presentation entitled 100 Beautiful Slides from Cannes Lions 2010. Cannes Lions is an international advertising festival and is chock full of brilliant and creative minds. While being skilled in design doesn't necessarily equate to great PowerPoint or Keynote design, obviously it did in these cases. Though there's always a possibility they hired a presentation designer.
The imagery, font, and design is absolutely brilliant. I've honestly never seen a better collection of effectively designed slides in my life. Please bookmark this post or favorite the presentation to your SlideShare account. You'll want to refer back to this often for inspiration.
I tried to collect my "favorites", but I found myself choosing pretty much every other slide. Without a doubt #6 with the girl and ice cream is my ultimate favorite. The emotion it evokes is exactly what presentation design is all about.
Let me know what your favorites are and why in the comments section!

Thanks for sharing this... putting the finishing touches on part 2... slightly different but I think you'll enjoy it.
