Hi,
I think i can help you with this, I'm a graphic designer, and I'm graduated from Faculty of Science, i studied Chemistry there for 2 years. I worked with several students and graduates on their projects, mostly from Cardiff University, and i made them Presentations,Project Posters and Simulation Videos.
I have good experience in making a presentation ( Academically as a structure and Graphically).
I use Photoshop for any graphic design needed in the presentation and Blender 3D for any 3D design needed.
I already did one page of the presentation, and i have seen all your comments in the other pages, and i don't have any problem with them.
As for your questions, i can get you the answers if you want, but i don't think knowing the answers will help much.
Anyways, Contact me if you want to see the page i made, or to discuss any details, or if you have any questions.
Thank you.... Have a nice day...
