How to Create Great Artwork by Using PowerPoint Tools
PowerPoint is generally known as a program for its great presentation features. However, it also has easy to use, intuitive drawing tools that can be used to create all kinds of artwork and graphics for hub pages as well as other websites. I would like to share with you how I use PowerPoint 2003 to create my graphics presentations. The following are examples of work that I created in PowerPoint.

Now it's Your Turn
Now that you have viewed the videos, you can create your own. I used PowerPoint 2003, but PowerPoint 2010 will work just as well. Also, If you don't have any version of PowerPoint, there is a Microsoft equivalent suite that is free. Its called OpenOffice.org. Here is the link: http://www.openoffice.org/ You can not only download their version of PowerPoint, but their version of the entire office suite for free.
When you want to avoid the dreaded duplication of content warning, try using artwork to depict your content instead of text and see what you can create. I have included three books on visual language that may help you in this endeavor.
Have fun creating your great artwork. Thanks for watching.
