An animated PowerPoint background can make the difference between a boring presentation and an interactive learning experience.

Using moving graphics can help your audience stay interested in the message of your presentation. However, an animated PowerPoint background isn’t for everyone, so know your audience.

If you are creating a professional presentation then you may want to consider who will be watching the display. A fresh, young audience may be more receptive than your superiors. Your boss may wonder how many hours you put into making the animated PowerPoint background. He also may wonder if the hours could have been put to better use.

Also, the more serious professional may find the animated PowerPoint background to be a little insulting. This audience member is not interested in being entertained. He simply wants the facts presented in a clear, concise fashion. Though rare, this individual may roll his eyes at an elaborate display.

However, you may have a boss who likes to encourage humor and positive interactions among the staff. This individual may embrace the idea of an animated PowerPoint background because it communicates that the creator is interested in keeping his audience happy.

Younger professional may appreciate the interesting display and the artistic graphics in your presentation.
