How to set up a PowerPoint template
Posted: Mon Dec 23, 2024 5:13 am
And as things scale, the problems get more acute with rogue design in one department, file bloat in another, and one team communicating exclusively in GIFS (actually, that’s not something a decent template can fix – sorry). Throw in a rebrand or two and issues can increase exponentially. All the good work your marketing department does in making sure your message is communicated clearly and cohesively is lost in a puff of poor PowerPoint template smoke.
So how do you fix it? You start by having a romania calling code well-considered, well-constructed PowerPoint template that makes developing presentations much easier.
Prefer to listen to our pearls of PowerPoint wisdom rather than read? Watch our on-demand Templates and Masters video resource.
Set up the canvas by setting the slide size
Set theme colors and consider custom colors
Set the fonts
Edit the slide master
Add custom layouts
Set default shapes/lines/textboxes
Save as a potx
Check file size and color contrast
Fair warning – PowerPoint templates and masters can be pretty complicated (that’s why they can go wrong so easily!). There are some really great in-depth resources out there if you’re serious about getting to grips with them, like Echo Swinford and Julie Terberg’s comprehensive book. But, if you’re raring to get started on your own then we admire your chops and this post is for you.
