In it, he demonstrated that it is possible to use LATEX to create presentations of equal quality to normal documents. Document classes and special packages to help you create overhead slides for presentations were already available for LATEX2.09. In particular, foils was a popular document class during the era of overhead projectors. The seminar class allowed the use of colour: the eUects were sometimes very “gaudy” though, and fell short of the expectations of contemporary presentation design (http://www.tug.org/applications/Seminar/sem-dem0.pdf). A new development is the beamer class, a very complex document class that leaves virtually nothing to be desired. Each time a new document class appears, the user must once more navigate through the labyrinth of environments, commands, lengths and templates that it now oUers. The powerdot class continues on the rather more practical path of seminar and prosper, and provides eXcient creation of presentations with layout requirements that are not too diXcult . If your requirements are more complex however, for example for a PhD viva, it is worth having a look at the many possibilities oUered by beamer. This publication aims to contribute to a better understanding of the diUerent ap- proaches of powerdot and beamer and enable you to create your own templates. This is becoming increasingly vital as many companies and scientiVc institutions attach importance to their corporate design. This book uses the Free University of Berlin as an example for both classes to develop presentation templates for the corporate design used there. In the description of commands and environments, optional parameters are typeset with a grey background . Unlike the common practice in LATEX, optional parameters don’t necessarily have to be speciVed in square brackets; whether each parameter is mandatory or optional is merely a question of how it was deVned in the deVnition of the command. The presentation classes use this frequently. You can Vnd all examples from this book as runnable TEX documents on the CTAN server at http://mirror.ctan.org/info/examples/Presentations_en/. Thanks go to Uwe Siart for permission to use his introduction to powerdot, to Rolf Niepraschk for his help with TEXnical questions, to Christoph Kaeder for his commitment Contents to creating a publication-quality document and especially to Monika Hattenbach for diligent proofreading. And last but not least again a big thanks to Lars KotthoU for helping to translate the German version and also to Catherine Jagger for proofreading the English version. The remaining errors are my responsibility alone.

Examples include Impress, as part of OpenOXce (LibreOXce), or LATEX. If you want the quality of your presentation Vles to be as high as that of normal documents, it’s a good idea to use LATEX. There are several document classes designed especially for creating presentations,
