Illustrations, graphics, animation, and sound can all be part of a Freelance Graphics presentation.
Freelance Graphics has built-in tools that help you to create charts, tables, graphic images and text
right within the program. Elements such as these can be imported from other programs as well.
Once your presentation is complete, you must consider how you will show it to your audience.
Freelance Graphics has a feature called I'Screen Show" that will display your presentation page by
page on your computer screen. Animated transitions
can be included to take your presentation from one
page to another stylishly. You can also display your
presentation in printed form. Service bureaus and
certain printers have the proper devices to help you
print your presentation to slides, transparencies,
paper, or posters.
