I Always Use Excel to Create Heat Maps: Here's How You Can Too

  • Using PowerPoint Designer is easy; simply input text and images into slides, click on the "Designer" button, choose a suggested design, and make any necessary tweaks.
  • Designer can even generate appropriate images, charts, and diagrams based on the slide content, making PowerPoint a faster and more efficient tool for creating presentations.

Like many people (myself included), you may have moved on from Microsoft PowerPoint to a more intuitive and interesting presentation software such as Canva or Prezi. However, if you haven't kept track, you might have missed PowerPoint's killer feature: Designer.

What Is Designer?

Designer is a tool in Microsoft PowerPoint that analyzes the content of your slide and then makes suggestions for the design of the slide. So, with one click, you can instantly take your text and images and transform them into a professionally-designed slide.

More importantly, even if you're perfectly capable of making snazzy slides on your own steam, Designer still speeds the process up immensely. At the very least, it provides a better starting point than a blank slate, since many of its suggestions might already be close to what you want.

How to Use PowerPoint Designer as a Presentation Shortcut

Using the Designer is incredibly easy once you know how. For this demo, we're going to use ChatGPT to generate slide text, in this case, for a basic course on PC repair. Then, we'll use Midjourney to generate illustrations for each. If you want to know how you can use these AI tools to jazz up your presentation, we have a ChatGPT and Midjourney guide for PowerPoint you can refer to.

Whether you use tools like these or write it all manually, the first step is to put the text and images into each slide. Simply write or paste your text into PowerPoint and add any relevant images. If you don't have images, don't worry. Designer can provide them in some instances. Don't bother formatting or positioning any of your content.

An Unformatted PowerPoint Presentation with text and pictures

Once you have all your text and images in your slides, click on the "Designer" button at the far right of the Home tab.

PowerPoint Designer Button

This will bring up a selection of suggested designs for your active slide. In some cases the Designer might have opened automatically, so if that's happened, you don't need to do this step, obviously.

PowerPoint Designer Suggestiona

Choose the design that most appeals to you from the selection. If you don't see anything that's close to what you want, you can choose to generate more designs at the bottom of the list. Once you've found a design you like, you can tweak or edit any element of it.

Powerpoint Designer Slide Example

Repeat this process for each slide until you've completed your entire slideshow, and you're ready to ace that presentation. Note that in this slide, we never put a picture in, but based on the text and the context of the presentation, the Designer found some photos and clip art that it thinks are appropriate.

PowerPoint Designer Ideas

If it thinks the text you've entered is suitable for the presentation, it will also create charts and infographic-style diagrams, which can be a tremendous time-saver.

You'll still have to do things like tweak the timing of slides or adding slide notes, but with the Designer feature PowerPoint has gone from the most tedious way to make a slideshow to one of the fastest ways to get this common work and school chore done.

The process

power point presentation designer

We’ll kick off a project with a 20-minute phone call to discuss your goals, brand identity, and timeline to ensure that your project goes smoothly.

power point presentation designer

Based on our discussion, I’ll send you a creative direction of 2-3 slides to ensure I’m headed in the right direction. My goal here is to amaze you!

power point presentation designer

I’ll incorporate your feedback from the creative direction and complete the design of the entire deck. I’ll edit until you’re perfectly happy – usually 1-2 revisions.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a typical project take.

A typical project takes 5-7 days to complete. Faster timelines may be possible. Feel free to reach out to discuss current project estimates.

What if I'm in a BIG hurry?

Other clients’ schedules may shift, leaving availability for rush projects. Please feel free to reach out if you need a project expedited to see if I have availability. Rush fees are 100% of the project cost for a 48-hour turnaround and 50% for 48-96 hour turnarounds.

In what format should I send you my content?

You are welcome to send your content already on slides or in outline format. If you have a specific vision for a particular slide, feel free to include an inspirational graphic or description of your vision to maximize efficiency and reduce turnaround time.

What else do you need from me to get started?

If you have high-resolution version of your logo in PNG, EPS or AI format, please send it, along with any style guides you may have for your brand. If you do not have a style guide, I can follow your website style to ensure consistency of your brand.

What if I don’t have a style guide?

If you do not have a style guide, I can follow your website style to ensure consistency of your brand. If you do not have a website or it does not currently reflect the direction you’d like to go, feel free to send over any other designs or examples you may have or like. Alternatively, I can propose a design that represents your brand.

How does payment work?

At the end of the project, I’ll send you an invoice that you can pay via credit card online.

How do you source photos? Are those an additional charge?

I use Shutterstock to license photography. Technically, those assets are licensed to me so if you are going to use them in the public domain you will need to license them to you or your company. I can provide a collection for quick access to license the images. Shutterstock packages are very reasonably priced at $3 or less per image.

What if I’m not happy with the final product?

We will begin the project with a creative direction, which is 2-3 designed slides, to ensure that I am the right designer for your project and that we efficiently get to a presentation that WOWs. If I am unable to create a design that you like during that process, you will not be charged.

If there are a few slides that need additional revisions at the end of the project, I am happy to provide those to ensure you love the final product.

Will I be able to edit the final presentation?

Absolutely! There may be occasional design elements that are created in Photoshop and imported in, but to the extent possible, all text is added in PowerPoint so that you can easily edit it.

How will we coordinate and communicate during a project?

I can communicate with you in whichever fashion you prefer. Most of my clients prefer email, but I am happy to collaborate with you in Google Drive, Dropbox, Slack or any other platform that is in your workflow.

What if I don’t want my content in your portfolio?

That’s not a problem at all. Just let me know when we start working together and I’ll place a note in your client file to keep your content out of my portfolio.

Additionally, if you would like for me to sign an NDA, I’d be happy to do so.

I'm a fellow presentation designer and I'd like some advice

How did we choose these as the top PowerPoint designers? —

Achieving just the right feel in a PowerPoint template is important because it underscores the content in the presentation. Here’s what we looked for when we selected designers for this list:

1. Design quality

PowerPoint design

When a designer joins 99designs, an expert from our team goes through their portfolio to consider the conceptual thought, technical execution and knowledge of design principles evident in their work. Based on this criteria, they then assign the designer one of the following levels:

  • Entry Level

These levels are displayed on designer portfolios so you can easily see whether someone has lots of experience and design chops or if they’re up-and-coming.

2. PowerPoint design experience

PowerPoint can seem fairly simple, but like many other programs—like Photoshop and even Excel—it has far more capabilities than the average user realizes. For an expert-quality presentation, you need to work with an expert PowerPoint template designer. In addition to looking at artistic vision and technical design skills, we specifically vetted each designer on this list to make sure they had specific experience with PowerPoint design.

3. Professionalism

There’s more to a top level designer than creating beautiful, effective designs. As the client, you want a designer who communicates with you throughout the process, delivers on time and is generally good to work with. So we took past customer experiences into account to make sure all of our recommended PowerPoint designers are professionals in service as well as design.

Are you ready to hire a savvy freelance PowerPoint designer? —

Great PowerPoint design brands you and your company as an expert in your field. If you don’t think you’d click with one of the designers on our list, take a look at the other PowerPoint designers on our site to find one who can present your brand perfectly.

A step-by-step guide to captivating PowerPoint presentation design

november 20, 2023

by Corporate PowerPoint Girl

Do you often find yourself stuck with a lackluster PowerPoint presentation, desperately seeking ways to make it more engaging and visually appealing? If your boss has ever told you to "please fix" a presentation and you didn't know where to start, you're not alone. In this article, we'll walk you through a straightforward method to transform your PowerPoint slides into a visually captivating masterpiece. 

Let's dive right in! 

Clean up your slides 

The first step in this journey to presentation excellence is all about decluttering your slides and elevating their impact. Say goodbye to those uninspiring bullet points that often dominate presentations. Instead, focus on what truly matters – the key call-out numbers. By increasing the font size of these numbers, you ensure they take center stage, immediately drawing your audience's attention. 

To make those numbers pop, consider breaking the text after the numbers into the next line and adding a touch of color. The contrast created by pairing a dark color with a lighter shade, like dark teal and light teal or burnt orange with peach, can work wonders. This simple adjustment makes your data more engaging , enhancing the overall impact of your presentation. 

Add dimension with boxes 

Now, let's introduce an element of depth and organization to your slides. By adding boxes, you'll create a visually pleasing structure that guides your audience through the content. In the "Insert" menu, select "Table" and opt for a one-by-one table. Change the table color to a light gray shade, elongate it, and position it neatly to the left of your text. 

To improve readability and aesthetics, increase the spacing between text phrases. A small adjustment in the before spacing setting (setting it to 48) significantly enhances the visual appeal of your slides. 

Insert circles 

To further enhance the visual appeal and engagement of your slides, let's introduce circles. In the Insert menu, navigate to Shapes and choose the circle. Adjust the circle's height and width to 1.2, ensuring it complements your content seamlessly. Match the circle's shape fill color with the corresponding text color for a harmonious look. 

Avoid using colored outlines for the circles, as they may distract from the overall aesthetic. This simple addition of circles adds an element of visual interest to your presentation, making it more captivating. 

Choose icons 

Now, it's time for a touch of creativity. Selecting icons to complement your text can elevate the clarity and appeal of your slides. In the "Insert" menu, you can search for relevant keywords to find the perfect icon from PowerPoint's extensive library . 

For instance, if your text discusses investment portfolio yield, search for "growth" and choose an upward arrow growth icon. These icons add an extra layer of visual appeal and clarity to your content, making it more engaging and informative. 

Final touches 

To wrap up the transformation process, we come to the final touches that give your presentation a polished, professional finish. Align your icons with their corresponding circles and change the shape fill color to white. This simple adjustment creates a crisp, cohesive look that ties everything together seamlessly. 

In conclusion, by following these steps, you've embarked on a journey to enhance your PowerPoint presentation . These initial steps are just the beginning of your exploration into the world of design elements and styles that can cater to your specific presentation needs. The key to a stunning PowerPoint presentation lies in the details. By following these steps, you can turn a lackluster set of slides into a visually engaging and dynamic presentation that will captivate your audience. So, the next time your boss says, "Please fix," you'll know exactly where to start. Happy presenting!

Simple presentation background ideas: elevate your visuals with minimalistic designs

Get your team on prezi – watch this on demand video.

' src=

Anete Ezera August 29, 2024

When you’re putting together a presentation, the background you select is key in setting the mood and making sure your content shines. While there are many different good presentation backgrounds that are bright and colorful, there’s a rising preference for simple presentation backgrounds. These clean designs can boost your message by minimizing distractions and making sure your content takes centre stage.

Bulb Concepts with Yellow Crumpled Paper Ball

In this article, we’ll delve into the advantages of using simple presentation backgrounds, specific scenarios where they shine, and how platforms like Prezi can elevate your presentations with their open canvas and dynamic tools.

The power of a simple presentation background

Choosing a backdrop for your presentation goes beyond selecting a color or a basic layout. It involves setting up an uncluttered environment that highlights your message effectively. Let’s explore the reasons why opting for a simple presentation background can improve your message.

Improved readability

A key advantage of using a simple presentation background is the readability it offers. Complicated or excessively intricate backgrounds can make the text challenging to read, leading your viewers struggling to comprehend your message. Conversely, a simplistic background guarantees that your text is easily readable, allowing your audience to concentrate on your content.

Reduced distractions

Having a simple presentation background can minimize distractions for your audience, which is crucial when sharing intricate details or holding their attention for a long time. Opting for a simple aesthetic background for presentation slides directs the focus toward the speaker and the content rather than on the background itself.

Versatility

Simple presentation backgrounds offer flexibility. They can be customized to suit various presentation topics. Whether you’re showcasing a business pitch, a school assignment or an imaginative idea, a clean background can serve as the perfect backdrop for your material.

Timeless appeal

Trends in design come and go, but simplicity is timeless. A simple background for presentation slides ensures that your presentation won’t look outdated in a few months. It also conveys professionalism and can be tailored to fit any industry or topic.

What is the best background for a presentation? 

When preparing a presentation, it’s best to opt for a background that’s straightforward, neat and doesn’t draw much attention. Opting for colors such as light grey or gentle blue is recommended as they offer a nice contrast with the text. It’s advisable to steer clear of designs or vibrant colors that may overshadow the content.

In case you decide to include images, make sure they’re subtle and relevant to the subject matter. Consistency plays a role here, so stick to the same background style across all slides to maintain a polished and coherent appearance.

Specific use cases for simple presentation backgrounds

Simple presentation backgrounds are suitable for a wide range of scenarios. Here are some specific instances where a minimalistic background works best:

Business presentations

In a corporate setting, professionalism is key. A simple, clean background helps maintain a professional tone and ensures that your data, graphs, and key points are easily readable.

Minimal empty brown beige 3d room background. Modern Studio showcase with copy space. Trendy place to advertise your products. Luxury stage concept for cosmetic, beauty, fashion, product mock-up design template presentation

For example, using a soft, neutral-toned background like this empty brown-beige studio room background can create a warm, welcoming atmosphere without distracting from the content.

Educational presentations

When students have to explain ideas, it’s important to keep things clear and straightforward. Using a simple background for presentations can make it easier for the audience to concentrate on the educational points without distractions.

power point presentation designer

A background with subtle textures, such as this simplistic aerial shot above Lake Dumbleyung, can provide a serene backdrop that doesn’t compete with the information being presented.

Creative and design presentations

When presenting creative work, such as design concepts or artistic projects, the background should complement rather than overshadow the content. A simple presentation background allows your creative elements to take center stage.

Simple presentation background

Consider using an abstract but subtle design like this abstract lights on a dark green background to add a touch of creativity without overwhelming your visuals.

Personal and inspirational presentations

Personal stories or inspirational talks benefit from backgrounds that evoke emotion without being overly complex. A minimalistic background with a hint of nature, like this colorful clouds at sunset, can create a peaceful and reflective atmosphere.

Simple presentation background that displays rosy clouds.

Product or service showcases

When showcasing a product or service, a simple presentation background can help highlight the subject without competing for attention.

Simple presentation background that displays a table in sunlight.

For example, a rendering product background with a clean, neutral design is ideal for presentations focused on product demonstrations, allowing the product itself to be the star of the show. This type of background is especially useful in marketing presentations where the goal is to create a clear and compelling visual representation of the product.

Science and nature-themed presentations

For presentations centered around scientific concepts or natural phenomena, a background that subtly reflects the theme can be very effective.

Simple presentation background of a steam.

The soft-focused image of steam provides a simple yet evocative backdrop that can complement discussions on topics such as geology, environmental science, or even metaphorical concepts like transformation and change. This type of background adds depth to your presentation without overwhelming the content.

Youthful and creative presentations

For presentations aimed at younger audiences or those with a creative edge, a playful and vibrant background can help set the tone. This single paper airplane on a yellow background offers a whimsical yet simple design that’s perfect for educational, inspirational, or creative projects.

A Single Paper Airplane on Yellow Background

This type of background is particularly effective in presentations for students, where the goal is to engage and inspire while keeping the design straightforward and accessible.

Technology and innovation presentations

For presentations focused on technology, innovation, or data-driven topics, a background that subtly suggests complexity while remaining visually clean can be very effective.

This abstract background with dots is an excellent choice for such presentations. The modern and sleek design, suggests connections to networks, systems and digital technology. This makes it ideal for discussing AI, networking, or futuristic advancements. The background brings a contemporary tech vibe to your presentation while keeping things simple and clear, ensuring your message stays prominent.

Leveraging Prezi for dynamic presentations

Prezi is a tool that distinguishes itself from slide-based presentations by providing a flexible canvas method. This special feature enables you to craft engaging presentations where the background contributes significantly to shaping the story.

Open canvas for creative freedom

Unlike traditional presentations where each slide is a separate entity, Prezi allows you to work with an open canvas . This means the background isn’t merely a fixed element but an essential component of the narrative. You have the freedom to navigate the canvas crafting a cohesive storytelling journey.

Dynamic panning and zooming for engaging storytelling

One remarkable aspect of Prezi is its panning and zooming feature. In contrast to slide-based presentations, where transitions occur from one slide to another, Prezi allows for navigation across the canvas. You can zoom in on details, and then pan out to reveal the broader context, transforming your presentation into an engaging storytelling experience . This interactive journey lets you evolve the background as you lead your audience through layers of information. The panning and zooming effects not only enhance appeal but also highlight important points and foster a more immersive experience for your viewers.

Simple presentation backgrounds in Prezi templates

Prezi offers a variety of templates that incorporate simple presentation backgrounds , making it easy to get started with a minimalistic design. For instance, the Modular Dark AI-Assisted template uses a sleek, dark background that’s perfect for professional and technical presentations.

The Research Project Light template offers a clean, light background that’s ideal for academic and educational presentations.

With Prezi, you’re not limited to the backgrounds provided within the platform. You can experiment with your own images to create a unique and personalized presentation.

This template features a clean, minimalistic background that reflects the seriousness and professionalism required in medical presentations. The light background ensures that important medical data, charts, and images are presented clearly, making it easier for the audience to focus on the critical information being conveyed.

When creating onboarding presentations or training sessions, it’s important to use a background that’s both engaging and non-distracting. Prezi’s Employee Onboarding AI-Assisted template is designed to facilitate effective learning by combining a simple presentation background with interactive elements.

The minimalistic design helps keep the focus on the training content, making it easier for new employees to absorb the information without being overwhelmed by visual clutter.

How to Create a Timeline in PowerPoint?: Step-by-Step Guide

A teacher teaching timeline in the white board with a blue background.

A roadmap in PowerPoint can bring meetings, pitches, or educational sessions into the game. This will not only organize your information perfectly but also make it more engaging and a lot easier to follow. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you create an effective timeline PowerPoint template .

Know Your Audience

It is important to learn beforehand who your audience will be. Is your audience comprised of peers, clients, students, or the everyday person? Once you learn your audience’s needs and expectations, you can then shape how you will provide the information. Remember, a timeline PowerPoint developed for a board of executives is very differently assembled than one designed for a group of high school students.

How to Plan Your Timeline

Start by determining what the most significant events are that you want to show on your timeline, list them in a logical sequence, and make sure everyone is relevant to the story that you are trying to tell. Doing this thinking upfront will make the creation process smoother.

Choosing the Best Template

Several sites have ready-made templates on timelines: SlideEgg, and Microsoft, among many others. Search these sites and apply a template that most suits your topic and audience. Using a timeline slides may save some time and offer a professional presentation.

High-Quality Visuals

Visual appeal is very important when it comes to PowerPoint presentations. Using high-resolution images and graphics will enhance your slides. There are many websites, such as SlideEgg, and Pexels, that offer royalty-free photos you can use on your presentation.

Incorporating Multi-media Elements

However, the inclusion of videos or audio clips in your presentation will increase the degree of dynamic. You can attach a small video clip or audio narration explaining some of the key points you want to mention. Interactivity will keep the interest of the audience for a longer time and will make your timeline more attractive.

Suitable Use of Colors and Fonts

A professional presentation needs to have an aesthetic semblance of consistent coloring while using legible fonts. Choose colors that cooperate harmoniously with each other. Aim to have one to not more than two types of font in your whole slides. This helps to maintain uniformity in the slides’ outlook and readability.

Making Readable and Clear Slides

It is vital not to clutter the slides by putting too much text on them. You can make use of the feature for bullet points using short sentences to get your point across. Also, have only one lead idea on each slide so as not to overwhelm your audience.

Key Milestones – Highlight

Give importance to major events in your project timeline template. You can make the timeline pop out by adding icons or graphics, or you can change the color. This helps in pointing your audience at what is generally the most critical areas of the project timeline template.

How to Use SmartArt and Infographics

Fortunately, good news: PowerPoint’s SmartArt feature allows for some pretty cool diagrams and charts. Use SmartArt to illustrate relationships and hierarchies in your timeline. Free download Timeline ppt template to give life to more slides and present data in a different way.

Standardization Throughout

Consistency in design and format is what makes a presentation professional. Ensure your slides are designed according to the same set of guidelines; proofread to ensure there are no formatting errors. This uniformity helps the audience focus on the content rather than the design discrepancies.

Engaging Your Audience

The more entertaining a presentation is, the more it tends to be remembered. Keep your audience engaged through questions, participation, and interactive polls or surveys. Engagement will make your timeline presentation dynamic and interactive.

Practicing Your Presentation

Practice makes perfect. Take the time to rehearse a number of times so you are comfortable with the flow and timing of your presentation. This will help ensure that you present your content confidently and within the timeframe allowed for you.

Managing a Q&A Session

Be prepared to take questions from the audience. Jot down in your mind some of the common questions that will probably be asked of you, and be prepared to answer. Managing your Q&A session will reveal your knowledge and keep the audience interested right to the very end.

You have to plan and pay great attention to detail to come up with an interesting timeline presentation in PowerPoint. From the tips above, you can craft a timely and attractive presentation that informs as well as entertains the viewers at the same time. The secret is to know who your audience is and craft the content with the needs of the audience in mind.
