How to design a presentation from scratch.

With some creativity, and these simple steps, you can create a custom presentation with InDesign.

  • Find the right page size. Whether you’re presenting a keynote on a massive screen or creating for mobile devices, start by selecting the dimensions you’ll use for your presentation.
  • Choose your background. Pick a striking background image that works with text overlay. The deck’s title can also become part of the background.
  • Create paragraph styles. Create no more than three text styles so you can keep the title font, body font, and footnote font consistent throughout the presentation. Set paragraph styles to change font and size with a click of a button.
  • Set up master pages. Create a few master pages to help ensure your presentation looks professional and well designed. Add image and text frames to the master pages so you can drop your content in later without having to overthink the layout.
  • Add images and text. Drag and drop Photoshop (PSD) files, PDFs, Illustrator (AI) files, JPEGs, PNGs, or GIFs into the image frames. To add text, just copy and paste text files or select the Type tool from the toolbar and type directly into the text frame.
  • Add page numbers. Insert page numbers to keep you and your audience on the same page. InDesign can automatically number the slides.
  • Add finishing touches. From movies and sound clips to hyperlinks, cross references, and page transitions, you’ve got plenty of interactive options to make your story more compelling.
  • Export your slide deck. The final step is to export your presentation in a format that can be projected or distributed in any presentation program. Exporting as Adobe PDF (Interactive) lets you play or click through interactive content in real time during the presentation.

You know it too if you are happy with your material you feel better and more confident as a speaker. Double plus.

High quality, highly appropriate, thoughtful graphics will enhance any presentation and will be a vital tool in getting your message across, succinctly and memorably. Equally poor quality clip art type graphics, blurry, pointless, and inappropriate images may get you to remember as well, but probably not how you would wish.

Get design ideas

Your browser does not support video. Install Microsoft Silverlight, Adobe Flash Player, or Internet Explorer 9.

Check the box to Turn on optional connected experiences .

Note:  Microsoft is committed to helping protect your security and privacy while using Designer. To learn more, see the Microsoft Privacy Statement .

Go to the  Designer pane on the rightmost side of the window and look through the design ideas

Select the design you want and your slide is changed accordingly. To exit Designer without making any changes, select the "X” at the top-left corner of the  Designer pane.

You can also select another idea from the pane or go back to your original slide design: Press Ctrl+Z to undo a design change you've just selected.

Troubleshooting for microsoft 365.

If you’re having trouble with Designer with PowerPoint in Microsoft 365, there some things you can try.

What if I don't see the Designer button?

If you don't see the Designer button, here are some things to review.

Design ideas are only available to Microsoft 365 subscribers

On desktop versions of PowerPoint, only subscribers get design ideas. To try or buy Microsoft 365 subscription, see  Microsoft 365 .

On PowerPoint for the web, design ideas are available to everyone.

One Microsoft 365 subscription package doesn't include design ideas:  Office 365 Germany .

Turn on Office connected experiences

To use Designer, make sure that Office "connected experiences" are turned on. In the ribbon, go to  File > Account , and under  Account Privacy  select  Manage Settings . Then go to Turn on optional connected experiences and check the box to turn on. For more information, see  Enabling and disabling intelligent services .

The Account panel showing the Account Privacy, Manage Settings button

Administrator might have turned off Designer

Designer is a feature for Microsoft 365 subscribers, but some organizations turn off the feature. If you have a Microsoft 365 subscription but don't see the  Designer  button, ask your IT department.

Reinstall Office to get subscriber features

If you've upgraded from Microsoft 365 to a Microsoft 365 subscription, you need to uninstall Microsoft 365 and then reinstall to get the subscriber features. See the instructions in these articles:

Uninstall Office from a PC  or  Uninstall Office 2016 for Mac

Reinstall Microsoft 365

Restart the app to get Designer

Sometimes users find that the first time they start PowerPoint after installing Microsoft 365, the Designer button isn't available. Restarting the app fixes this problem.

 What if I select the Designer button and there are no suggestions?

If you don't see any suggestions when you select the Designer button, here are some things to check. 

You might not be connected to the internet. Make sure you have an active internet connection and try again. Designer goes online to get design ideas.

Use a theme that comes with PowerPoint (not a custom theme or one that you've downloaded from elsewhere).

No design ideas for slide with pictures

Make sure your slide has either the  Title  or  Title + Content  slide layout applied.

Don't use any additional objects or shapes on the same slide as your photo.

Use a maximum of four photos (.jpg, .png, .gif, or .bmp) per slide, and make sure they're larger than 200 x 200 pixels in size.

No design ideas for process-based slides

Make sure your slide has the  Title + Content  slide layout applied.

Don't use any additional photos, objects, or shapes on the same slide as your process text.

Because Designer is a relatively new service, it's still learning new tricks. If Designer can’t generate high-quality options for you, it won’t show any options at all. We're working hard to be able to generate great design ideas for more varieties of your content.

And of course, if you don’t find Designer useful, you can turn it off by going to File > Options > General , and clear the  Automatically show me design ideas  checkbox.

Someone else is editing

If you're co-authoring a presentation with someone else and more than one person is actively editing a single slide at one time, Designer won't give design suggestions on that slide.

When a single user is editing a slide, Designer will resume suggesting designs in response to specific actions the user takes, like inserting a photo.

No design ideas for slides that have shape or text boxes

Designer isn't able to suggest design ideas when a slide has a shape or text box drawn on it. You can have photos and text in a placeholder.

What if the Designer button is grayed out?

If you can see the Designer button in PowerPoint but it's grayed out, here are some things to check:

You might not be connected to the internet. Make sure you have an active internet connection and try again.

A single slide isn't selected. This can be the case when multiple slides are selected in the slide thumbnail pane in Normal view, or when the focus in the thumbnail pane is between two slides. It also is the case when the focus is in the Notes pane or you are in Slide Show view rather than Normal view.

The first time you try Designer, , a prompt might appear requesting your permission to provide design ideas for you. If you want to use Designer, select Turn on or Let's go .

Go to the  Designer pane on the rightmost side of the window and look through the design ideas.

16 Graphic Design Trends To Use In Presentation Design

PPT Design Trends of 2019

Do you want to give your presentation a new distinctive look this year? In that case, you should know the latest graphic design trends. Surely, following the hype may seem tiresome, but sticking with a standard PowerPoint presentation template will hardly impress the modern audiences, already spoiled by the good design looks everywhere around them.

By investing time in creating a trendier presentation design, you instantly gain several advantages:

  • You (as a presenter) and your company are viewed as more progressive. Appearing as an innovator raises your authority profile.
  • Your presentation content becomes more memorable. Even the most thrilling information gets forgotten when presented in a bland “wrapper”. But unique, on-point presentation get recalled better time and again.
  • You can retain the audience’s’ attention for longer when each new slide looks unique and designed with great attention to details.

Feeling convinced that it’s time to try something new? Here’s our look at the future of graphic design through the context of presentation design.

Font Trends: Best Fonts for PowerPoint Presentations

Trendy colors to use in presentation design.

  • Pastel Colors
  • Neon Gradients
  • Dark Background
  • Colorful Gradients and Duotones
  • Colorful (Rainbow) Geometry
  • Distinctive Retro Aesthetics
  • Broken Grid and Asymmetrical Layouts
  • Isometric Design
  • What’s Your Take on Presentation Design Trends 2019?

Choosing the right font is an art as it can make or break your entire presentation look and feel. Sloppy typography and weird font pairings will immediately put off some of your viewers and undermine your authority. Luckily, there are a lot of font generator tools available online to help you find the perfect font . With the help of a font generator, you can easily create unique fonts and customize your presentations.

Besides, it’s important to remember that not all digital fonts look particularly great in presentations. Some are better suited for posters and other graphics. Our line-up, however, features the best fonts for PowerPoint specifically.

PPT Portfolio PowerPoint Templates

Lydian is a “humanist” sans-serif font. Originally designed back in the 30s for book covers, it has recently re-surged in popularity once again. Apart from the bookstores, you can now see Lydian used in print materials, digital collateral and presentation materials.

2. Nostalgic Vintage Fonts

PPT Template Vintage Fonts

Hipster design trends remain strong. If you want to give your presentation that cool “old school” vibe without overdoing it, use a few funky vintage fonts for your headings and subtitles. They will instantly make your presentation design more modern, and yet professional.

3. Elaborate Script Fonts

PPT landscape photo with script fonts

Per Shutterstock , “vintage romantic rococo” aesthetics is one of the rising graphic design trends. Loose, feminine, handwritten and somewhat elaborate scripts are in vogue too. From greeting cards to clothes, wine glasses and digital materials – such typefaces feel more organic and warm than more traditional geometric sans fonts. So if you want to give your deck that less formal look, we have lined up the best handwritten fonts below:

4. High-Contrast Serif Fonts

PPT Templaets the yestarday tomorrow

Retrowave is making a come-back this year in modern graphic design. Think about the 80s aesthetics: bold colors, neon lights, groovy lines and abstract patterns. While getting this style right may require some design skills, you can always “safely” add a funkier font to your slides whenever you want to accentuate some information or make a bigger statement. The fonts we advise to try out are:

  • Graphique Pro

If you feel like experimenting with fonts is a bit too complicated, fret not. You can always make your deck more timely and on-point by opting for a trendy graphic design background or a color scheme. Shutterstock identified the following color trends for 2019.

1. UFO Green

PPT Templates UFO Green

Bold and bright, this shade of green combines them seemingly incompatible – the natural and the supernatural. While it may be too “loud” for specific diagram or shape, you can use it as a PowerPoint background to provide an overall vivid hue to a cover or section separator. Use the additional green combination in the palette to create impactful gradients.

2. Plastic Pink

PPT Templates Plastic Pink

Move on the subtler “millennial pink”. Plastic is now the shade to go. If you want to add some neon graphic design elements (another major design trend 2019), consider painting them in the Plastic Pink color.

3. Proton Purple

PPT Template Proton Purple

And here’s another color trend fueled by the Retrowave and Futuristic design trends. This vibrant shade of purple makes an instant strong impression. Use it add strategic pops of color to your slides, whenever you want to make a big memorable statement.

4. Living Coral

PPT Color Living Color

Of course, no color trends list is complete without Pantone’s Color of The Year . In 2019, their choice is another pink-tinted hue. It has a softer golden undertone, making it more pleasant to the eye, yet lively and vibrant at the same time. It’s a perfect choice for a pastel presentation template.

Cool Graphic Design Trends to Use In Presentation Design

Here comes the juiciest part of our design trends outlook. In this section, you can browse the latest graphic design trends and presentation ideas , and learn how to apply them to your PowerPoint presentation design. Let’s start experimenting.

1. Pastel Colors

PPT Template Pastel Colors

“Living coral” is one prime color example to consider. Other romantic undertones and softer, sensual colors are in trend as well. Per Shutterstock, this trend will witness a +160% rise in popularity this year, migrating from print and interior design to the category of web design trends 2019.

We’ve lined up several pallets you can use for your presentation color scheme: ( Let Them Eat Cake , Good Friends , Peach Blossoms )

2. Neon Gradients

Date Show Slide in Neon Colors

Futuristic design elements in neon colors are among the hottest design trends in 2019. Neon may be somewhat hard to pull off if you are not a designer, so for starters experiment with using just a few elements, rather than applying this trend to your entire presentation. SlideModel has this funky neon lights powerpoint template elements you can use to light up your presentation.

3. Dark Backgrounds

Dark backdrops are already making a comeback in web design . Apple is arguably the master of pulling off the “white on dark” trick and has been consistently using it to advertise their products including the latest iPhone X.

Dark backgrounds create this luxury, minimalistic vibe and can cast a lasting and memorable impact on your presentation. Additionally, this trend pairs well with the previous one. Neon gradients and vector shapes look particularly appealing on a darker background. Take a look at how we play this out in several PowerPoint presentation templates .

4. colorful gradients and duotones.

PPT Template Duotone Gradients - Duotone Gradients PowerPoint template

“Zine” look is back to the fore yet again this year and gradients are a major part of that look. You can notice that duotone fades and two-color combinations are already actively used in logo and web design. And now the use of color transitions creeps into presentation design. If you want to design a presentation using this trend, browse our newly-made collection of Duotone Gradients PowerPoint Templates .

5. Colorful (Rainbow) Geometry

This trend is another tribute to the 80s and the retrograde trend in design. To look modern, you can now opt for a colorful presentation template. Or if that’s too bold for the occasion, consider adding just a few rainbow elements or shapes to your slides.

Remember: to look hip, you do not need to fully apply a certain design trend or try to mix all the presentation design trends within one slide deck. Be moderate, especially when it comes to colorful elements.

6. Distinctive Retro Aesthetics

You’ve already seen this trend applied in numerous coffee shops, diners and interior designs . Natural colors, wooden floors, Edison bulbs and the “form follows function” overall aesthetics.

To give your presentation that cool mid-century retro flair, apply the next presentation design tips:

  • Opt for a natural color palette with a few vivid pops of color.
  • Make use of white space and give your design elements plenty of breathing room, esp the colorful shapes/elements.
  • Use fun, groovy and expressive illustrations and visuals. SlideModel prepped this excellent collection of retro icons.
  • Aim to create a whimsical composition.

And if you are looking for some ready-to-use Retro PowerPoint presentation templates, check out some of our designs.

7. Broken Grid and Asymmetrical Layouts

This type of design is an excellent tool for drawing attention to your key slides and making your delivery more memorable. A broken grid means that your design elements placed a bit chaotically around the page so that the visual grid looks less rigid.

Asymmetrical layouts are among the newer presentation design trends, but it’s surely here to stay. These may be a bit tough to pull off though. For starters, try matching both symmetrical and asymmetrical elements within your PowerPoint design before completing forgoing the grid.

8. Isometric Design

Isometric design elements are now aplenty around the web. If you aim for a futuristic sci-fi aesthetics, use this technique in presentation design as well.

Isometric design is a method of drawing a 3D object in two dimensions. Such illustrations tend to be simple and clean, but offer more depth than the standard flat design. Isometric icons are particularly in vogue as they convey more tactility and warmth. So if you want to spice up your presentation design with some eye-catching elements, consider isometric styles.

What’s Your Take on Presentation Design Trends?

This year re-surged some newer trends in graphic and web design that are now actively applied towards presentation design as well. Surprisingly, this year it’s a mixed bag – with opposite trends (pastel vintage design vs futuristic colorful design) being equally popular.

The best part of this clash? There’s something for everyone now. You can opt for a cleaner, more professional and minimalist look or go bold with vibrant backgrounds or funky fonts and shapes. You now have plenty of graphic design inspiration to apply towards your next presentation!

They made the list not just for their affordability but also for their ease of use and flexibility in design. From editing PDFs to creating social media graphics and beyond, these platforms can expand your creative possibilities.

We have explored each alternative's features, such as background removal tools, advanced editing capabilities, and user-friendly templates. The goal is to equip you with the knowledge to choose the right tool for your design needs so you can create stunning visuals without breaking the bank. Here are the best 10 free Canva alternatives for eye-catching designs and presentations.

Stencil  is a great tool for creating easily shareable images tailored for social media, small business owners, and bloggers. Stencil's focus is to make image creation easy with a free all-in-one app. It has an impressive stock photo library available to both free and premium users, and creating images for social media or blog posts is intuitive. The actions are simple clicks and drag-and-drop functions that users of all tech and graphic design levels will recognize.

Posting images is simplified through several convenient features. Users can directly send images via SMS or post them to Facebook or Instagram feeds through login integration. Additionally, there's an option to connect with a Buffer account to schedule posts after creation. Stencil's free option allows users to save 10 images per month with access to a limited stock library. It won't be enough for a full-time blogger, but it's a great test drive. Unlocking everything Stencil has to offer costs $12 per month or a yearly fee of $86.40. This essentially removes all limitations and gives full access to its stock library. There are no other microtransactions or add-ons.

Snappa is another great alternative to Canva, especially if you're not a graphic designer. Its user interface is remarkably user-friendly, with easy adjustments made through simple sliders and menus. Snappa has over 6,000 templates to get started with, as well as an impressive library of free images and graphics. The images provided are royalty-free and can be used for any project without incurring additional costs.

The downside to Snappa's simplicity and ease of use is that graphic designers may find it lacks the functionality of some of the other services on this list. It's ideal for beginners and those who need an image but don't have any idea how to make one.

Snappa's free version functions more like a trial, granting access to all templates and images but limiting users to only three downloads per month. Access to all other features requires a paid account, which is priced at $15 per month or $120 annually -- equivalent to $10 per month.

Adobe Express

While the AI image creator Adobe Firefly has been getting most of the press these days, Adobe still has plenty of traditional image editing tools available. One of the most affordable is  Adobe Express , an entry-level software that's ideal for those unfamiliar with Adobe's range of products and as a user-friendly image creation and editing tool.

You'll find many of the standard Adobe tools you would with Photoshop and other Adobe products , but they have been streamlined for ease of use for beginners. Users can quickly create images for social media and smaller projects with ease. Included are numerous templates that can be customized for different projects, as well as options for creating vector images.

The free version of Adobe Express provides users with a limited capacity for image generation each month and offers access to a basic range of templates and stock photos. For those who want more comprehensive features, there's a premium subscription available at $100 per year or $10 per month that unlocks full access to all tools and an extensive stock library.

Adobe Express is much more intuitive and easy to use than Photoshop, making it a good starting point for beginners. However, those without any design experience may find it a bit challenging. In addition, more experienced users will find it easy to use but less comprehensive than Photoshop.

If you're looking for a powerful no-frills editor, Pixlr X is a great place to start. It's completely free, although the website monetizes itself through ads. However, this means you don't even have to make an account and can jump right into editing and content creation.

As a free product, Pixlr X offers its complete range of features through a web app. The app itself has a streamlined interface with menus that provide a wide array of customization tools and options, allowing precise image alterations according to user preferences.

The software includes templates and settings for virtually every need. It features ready-made templates for popular social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitch, allowing users to create perfectly sized images right from the start. Additionally, Pixlr offers templates for podcast cover art and much more.

The user interface of Pixlr X is clean and uncluttered, without any distracting graphics. It presents a simple menu packed with various editing options. The toolset is comprehensive, making it easy for beginners to use while also offering enough advanced features to satisfy experienced users and graphic designers.

VistaCreate

VistaCreate is an excellent tool for creating visual marketing materials and ads for your business. The platform is designed to be easy to use and user-friendly while still providing visually impressive results. It offers templates for different seasons and industries that users can easily alter and customize to quickly create promotional materials, even if they lack an eye for design. Included with the editor is a massive library of tools like stock photos, videos, logos, fonts, and more that all can be used for free without licensing issues.

Signing up for the premium membership unlocks all of the available templates and graphics. Most users won't be stunted by the offerings from the free version, but the premium version has significantly more variety. If you want to try it before you buy, VistaCreate does offer a 14-day trial that gives access to the premium version. However, this trial requires a credit card entry, so you need to remember to cancel before the trial period ends to avoid charges.

The free version is free forever. It offers a respectable 10 GB of storage for projects and files. The premium version has unlimited storage, more templates and graphics, and access to unique tools like a background remover and instant sticker makers. VistaCreate premium costs $13 per month or $10 per month if paid annually.

Visme is a fantastic and incredibly versatile tool. It's a single app that can do most things that you'd want from an image editor, plus a few extra features that go beyond simple image content creation and editing. 

Like many other platforms, it has a host of templates, fonts, and stock images that make it easy to create brandable materials, social media posts, and digital media. However, in addition to the simple image editor, Visme also has a lot of intuitive tools for small businesses. Users can easily upload data from spreadsheets and graph it visually using a simple, drag-and-drop interface that can readily be branded. Images and content you create on Visme can also be turned into videos and edited directly on the platform.

The only downside to Visme is its price. The website offers a free version that allows you to take the system for a test drive, but it doesn't allow you to export any of the files that you create. While there may be workarounds, it may be better to consider purchasing a membership or choosing another service from this list. The Starter membership costs $12.25 per month when paid annually, or $29 monthly, and the Pro membership costs $24.75 per month when paid annually, or $59 billed monthly. Although this pricing is on the higher end compared to other services, Visme's comprehensive all-in-one solution justifies the cost for many users.

If you need infographics, PowerPoint presentations, or short videos, then Piktochart is one of the best alternatives to Canva. The platform doesn't concentrate on pure image design and generation. Instead, it focuses on bringing data to life through fun and interesting infographics.

For businesses that generate significant traffic through social media or understand the value of SEO, Piktochart recognizes that a well-crafted infographic can be a powerful asset. Its tools and templates are designed to present data in a visually attractive manner, highlighting key points. All of Piktochart's tools and templates present data in visually appealing ways while still clearly showing key data points. The user interface is very user-friendly and comes with tutorials on every aspect of the system. There's even a quick crash course that claims can get you up and running within an hour.

Piktochart also has rudimentary video editors that are surprisingly easy to edit. While it may not offer the extensive functionality of dedicated video editing software, it meets the needs of most users. There's also the option to quickly turn images into PowerPoint presentations and videos, making it an excellent choice for office workers. Piktochart is free but only offers limited online storage options. It's essentially a forever-free trial that allows users to get started with the system and determine if they can make use of it. The paid version costs $14 per month when paying annually or $29 monthly. 

The makers of DesignCap took all the fun aspects of making a poster or collage for grade school and turned it into software. Surprisingly, the software is known for its ease of use, making image creation as straightforward as those school projects.

DesignCap presents itself as a one-stop shop for all of your design needs, but in reality, it works better if you look at it like a poster maker. The platform can help users create simple images using templates and tools for social media posts, cards, wedding invitations, posters, and social media.

While it's not advanced enough for a professional graphic designer, it is ideal for someone who needs to make some eye-catching visuals. The free version has a smaller library of templates and stock photos available and is limited to five image saves. The only other limitation is export file formats. It has fewer options than some of the others on this list, but if you just need JPEGs to post or create images quickly, DesignCap is a great resource.

For more advanced users on a budget, Photopea is a fantastic solution. Photopea is not specifically tailored for bloggers or social media users -- instead, it is fundamentally an image editor. This focus on image editing first is reflected in its user interface and color scheme, which might not be specifically designed for bloggers and influencers but still offers useful functionality for them. The UI is very bare bones, devoid of any testimonials or marketing trying to upsell users.

Upon visiting the Photopea site, users can immediately upload and start editing images. The more you use Photopea, the more functionality you'll discover in the software. Users can create vector images, create layers, apply filters, and so much more. There's a dedicated tutorial section of the site to help users navigate the numerous features. If you can't find the answer there, Photopea also has a very active Reddit community as well as email support.

Photopea is unique in that beginners can do all of the simple editing that they'll need, while advanced graphic designers will also find a lot of useful tools to make something truly memorable. Photopea is a free service that supports itself through ads. Users have the option to purchase a premium membership, which removes ads and supports the developers. The free version already provides full access to all features, although premium users benefit from prioritized email support.

Desygner is a budget-friendly alternative to Canva that was specifically designed to be a more user-friendly alternative to Adobe InDesign. Desygner has intuitive controls that allow users to easily choose and modify templates. Like many of the other alternatives on this list, it comes equipped with a large stock image and template library that is free to use for commercial and personal use.

One of its best features is its PDF editor. All of the easy-to-use tools can be used to edit and alter PDFs to create impressive documents. These are perfect for flyers, notices, resumes, and much more. This task can often be tricky in standard word processors, but Desygner simplifies it with the same tools used for image creation. Another standout feature of Desygner is its background removal tool. If you've been creating images for a business, you'll know how essential this feature is, not to mention how frustrating it can be when it doesn't work well.

In terms of affordability, Desygner is very budget-friendly. Its pricing is among the most economical on this list, at approximately $5 per month when paid annually or $10 paid monthly. The free version of Desygner provides access to many of its tools and templates. While the free version is sufficient for smaller businesses and casual users, the premium version is a worthwhile investment for regular image creators. It includes the background remover tool and offers a significantly larger selection of stock images and templates.
