See the Presentation Zen site that gives great tips on using PowerPoint. In particular, see:

• Don McMillan's "Life after Death By PowerPoint" video on this page
• The Lessig Method (single word, short quote, or photo), and the example by Dick Hardt
• The Godin Method (presentations are "selling", associate an idea with a powerful image, the ideaVirus)
• The Kawasaki Method (the "top ten" format)
• The Takahashi Method (really big text)

Edward Tufte says that one measure of a good graphic is that it draws in the viewer. For instance, see the Rock and Roll History poster (see also an outline of Tufte's books on visualization, which are excellent)
