How Stinson Design Creates the Perfect PowerPoint Template for Your Brand
If you’ve ever worked in a corporate setting or even in a startup business, you’ve probably seen more than your fair share of terrible PowerPoint presentations. You know the kind—the font is dated, the slide layout is confusing, and it’s hard to make heads or tails of what the presenter is trying to say. If it’s awful, the presenter may get confused or disoriented by poor slide layouts or small font sizes, which is only worse for you, the viewer.
All of this is to say that we all know what a bad PowerPoint presentation looks like. But have you ever viewed a truly stellar PowerPoint? Have you ever walked out of a meeting inspired by the information you’ve received, ready to take on the world? Believe it or not, this is just as possible. If you think your business is prepared to take your PowerPoint game to the next level, you should know it doesn’t have to be that hard, either. You don’t have to watch numerous YouTube tutorials on how best to design slides that capture the imagination of your audience. All you have to do is reach out to PowerPoint professionals who can make custom PowerPoint slides for you. Intrigued? Great! Let’s take a look at how it’s done.
Understanding Your Brand
The first thing that needs to be addressed is your specific voice. A custom PowerPoint slide designed for a pet grooming agency will differ from a custom PowerPoint theme built for a significant corporate entity or a local nonprofit. Therefore, a PowerPoint professional will sit down with you and take the time to understand your brand, which will impact everything from the placement of your logo and the color theme to the appropriate background style for the template. This will also be an opportunity to understand the aim of this presentation. Are you fundraising? Are you presenting data to the board of directors? All of these details will go into the overall layout design and the design of the specific slide layouts.
Compiling the Relevant Data
Once your brand has been understood, and the overall concept of the custom theme has been decided, it’s time to fill in the relevant data. Your custom template will allow for diagrams, infographics, and more. The professionals who work with you on your custom template will be mindful of how best to present this data clearly and engagingly. In addition, the custom template will be designed in a manner that’s easy for whoever is presenting to understand and navigate.
Training Presenters on All Slide Functions
Speaking of those who will be presenting the PowerPoint when all’s said and done, you’ll be glad to know that the user of your template will receive an easy-to-understand tutorial on how it works. Seeing as your template user won’t have built this PowerPoint from a blank presentation, they might be confused as to when to press for the next slide, how to get to a new slide, and when to press ctrl to activate various animations and other elements. No worries here! The tutorial will explain this all—from how to insert their content instead of placeholder images to how to import information from an Excel worksheet. When it’s time for the presenter to head up this vital PowerPoint presentation, they’ll be able to do so with complete confidence and a great presentation.
We all know how important it is to make impressive and engaging presentations, especially when it comes to business success. With a team of PowerPoint professionals and a custom layout at your side, you’ll be able to do just that.
