Pat reports -- My membership with Toastmasters pays frequent unexpected dividends. In the December edition of Toastmaster magazine, an article by Malcolm Kushner yielded these three surprising sites for fun presentation graphics:
  • Einstein writing whatever you'd like him to say on a blackboard and several others (I like the dictionary entry): http://www.hetemeel.com
  • A choice of bumper stickers, soup bowls, and marquees:http://www.redkid.net/generator/
  • Western era WANTED posters, Hollywood signs, plane bannes, & snow globes- extensive selection:http://www.glassgiant.com
Great images for powerpoint and emails!
