We're giving a presentation on a movie-theater sized screen. The slides contain graphics that we created in Adobe Illustrator (CS5), which we noticed are rendering blurry on larger screens. Then are .png files at 72ppi.
How can we save our graphics to render crisply for large movie-theater-sized screens? Must the graphics be saved as large as the screens on which they'll appear?
Thank you!

PNG is actually a raster format, and that's the reason for the blurriness when they are scaled up.
In Illustrator, you'll want to export your graphics as a Windows Metafile (wmf), which is a vector format that's compatible with PowerPoint.

Is the .wmf file type one that can be saved out of Illustrator?
Cheers, Daniel
