PowerPoint does not give the user an option to set the DPI   PP default setting:  .jpgs with a lower dpi and file size appear to have Jagged edges because information is missing. How does this relate to PowerPoint? 96dpi (horizontal and vertical) 960x720 Dots-per-inch (dpi) Pixels

Examples

Movement Stand back & look at your slide. Notice the line of the text and the images. Where are your eyes moving? A “ Z”  form is ideal for advertising with images and text. You want your customer to start at the top left corner and end in the bottom right corner.   If you notice something out of place or distracting then you need to rearrange a few items.  The path our eyes follow when looking at a design.
