But how do you start?

There are a couple of approaches that might take, depending on your temperament and design skills. You can go and start typing text, add background colors, and experiment with your font colors and styles.

(not recommended) You can use a pre-configured template. Unless there are major design skills, I recommend the creation of its first submission using a pre-made template.

Microsoft has done a favor ... We have hired a team of artists and graphic designers, people with experience with color schemes and typography, the design of a large collection of "template" styles.

These templates come with backgrounds, images, and pre-chosen fonts and colors. The quality of these pre-installed templates is quite good, though some may require a bit of "adjustment" to look perfect.

If you are not satisfied with the default templates, you can also find free templates online. There are also many websites out there selling professional-looking templates. There are a couple of ways to implement a template.

The first time you open a blank PowerPoint presentation, go to the task pane and select a template. If you can not find the template in the Task Pane, go to the File menu and click [Format - Slide Design]

When you click the thumbnail template, the style is applied to the slide. In fact, the template changes all your slides. If you only want to change the current slide, click the small arrow button to the right of staff and elected [apply to selected slides].

I recommend using a template in the design of its first site. In fact, "always" use of templates, as this is the easiest way to make your PowerPoint show look professional. If you change your mind later, it is always easy to switch to another plan!
