5 QUICK Ways to Improve Your PowerPoint Design

Transform your PowerPoint presentations from dull to dynamic with these essential design tips. Whether you're presenting data or ideas, these tips will make your slides more engaging and easier to understand.

How do you create professional PowerPoint slides? It comes down to small things. Most of which we don't notice when we watch presentations we love. We know we like them, but often we don't quite know why. I've broken it down into 5 PowerPoint tips which I'll cover in this video.

🖌️ Key Design Tips:
▪️ Visualize Your Data: Simplify complex data with clear, concise charts. This keeps your audience focused on your message rather than getting lost in numbers.
▪️ Use White Space Effectively: Avoid clutter. White space, which can be any solid color or blurred background, helps direct attention to your key points.
▪️ Leverage Design Ideas: Utilize PowerPoint's Design Ideas feature for quick, AI-powered slide improvements, especially if you're short on time or design skills.
▪️ Opt for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVGs): Use SVGs instead of raster images like JPGs or PNGs to avoid pixelation when resizing.
▪️ Apply the Rule of Thirds: Borrow this photography technique to enhance visual appeal. Position key elements at the intersection points of a divided grid for a balanced look.

Hi Leila, I like watching your tutorials on Word, Excel & PowerPoint as it is easy to follow, clear and you make them interesting. I hope you will also do tutorials on Meeting of Minutes, Agendas etc.

1. Visualization, Don't let the audience focus on reading
2. White space, don't clutter, make spacious, less is more
3. Instant design ideas of office 365
4. Scalable vector graphics: careful resizing, use SVG over jpg to avoid pixelation
5. Apply rule of third: (my personal favourite)3 vertical and horizontal lines intersect and make the power points, elements should be placed on these points

I never knew that those dots for the rule of thirds were called PowerPoints. I really love how you broke down how to make some quick and easy fixes to your slides in order to make them look amazing! Really great stuff Leila! :)

Love the simplicity of your video.. Your channel is my go-to for Microsoft Office tutorials. The Design Ideas feature is the most common element I use in PowerPoint. I also use the Variants section to change the colors and create section breaks between slides to use different themes/variants within the same presentation. Rule of Thirds will take it to the next level.

Wow!!! This is Awesome!! Thank you.

Leila, After watching the section on the rule of thirds, I created the lines and powerpoints on a slide, copied, and pasted as a picture. Now, I can use the picture as a background to quickly toggle on, then off my background for design work.

The .svg option and the Rule of Thirds is my biggest takeaway from this video! Thanks Leila :)

I really didn't think I'd learn anything from this video, but The design ideas tool is incredible! I will NOT be forgetting that one anytime soon! I'll have to check out the SVGs too and that Rule of Thirds looks extremely promising! I'm actually looking forward to using these in my next PowerPoint! THANK YOU!
