I am currently producing a series of PowerPoint presentations on one of the driest subjects known to man. So incredibly mind blowingly boring that it beyond comprehension.

I need to liven it up!

Can anyone recommend any good websites that I can download FREE photos and clipart from to incorporate? Can animations be included in PowerPoint? ( I don't use it that often).

Thanks in anticipation......going back to the boring stuff again now, wish me luck..........

I've been doing the same job for 12 years (okay so it was on Persuasion & Freelance back then), but once of the best resources for clip-art is - http://dgl.microsoft.com - Microsoft's own design library

If you want some excellent quality photo's though I would recommend regestering with http://creative.gettyimages.com/photodisc/ as you can get the comping images for free which are good enough quality for PowerPoint presentations.

It's probably no use to you on this occasion, but I frequently need to source corporate logos and have found this site to be very useful:
www.logo.nino.ru
As with all images, though, it's often wise to check for copyright issues before you employ them in anything commercial or publish on the Internet. For your own private or in-house use it's not usually a problem.
