MLA does not provide exact guidance for creating citations and a Works Cited page within a PowerPoint presentation, but you should handle them using the same rules you would for a paper.
- Create an in-text citation within the sentence or bullet point on your slide.
- Your Works Cited page can be on your last slide.
- Your instructor may have specific instructions so always check that first.
See more in our MLA Style guide.

You will still need to include information for the visual aid. Use the instructions for a table or illustration.
Instead of an illustrator, there may be a cover designer. Examine the verso page, on the backside of the title page (where you find copyright dates, Library of Congress Cataloging info, etc.) and look to see if anyone is credited with cover design. If so, just use the phrase cover designer instead of illustrator.
For a photo with no name, title, or date, you will "create a title" by writing a description, such as: Untitled Photo of Boy with Puppy. Use n.d. for no date listed.
A good example is listed in this guide under the heading "Images (With No Author, No Title, No Date)": http://www.cod.edu/library/research/cite/mla/multimedia.htm
Also look to this guide for the example of citing a photograph under An Original Work of Visual Art: http://elmo.academyart.edu/reference-help/tours_and_tutorials/AAU_Image_Citation_Guide.pdf
Thank you.
Emory University has a great instruction sheet on this. It includes citing references from a database, website, and for images. Here is the link: http://business.library.emory.edu/documents/faq-handouts/chicago-citation-guide.pdf
