Top Tips – Using Templates

Thursday, June 16, 2005

Templates can provide you with a useful way of creating a professional looking presentation that will help you get your message across. Good ones allow you to choose the elements that work best for you and for your message. Here are the three steps you need to follow, when selecting any template:

Choose your colour scheme – think about the message you are trying to get across and select one that is appropriate. If you’re going to use your logo within the presentation, make sure the colour you pick works with your logo.

Select a template style – again think about the message you are putting across, but also think about your audience. Should you pick a corporate style or something that is fun and funky?

Add in a colour co-ordinated range of images – this can really wake up your presentation. Everyone has already seen the standard clip art images, so look for something more original and be sure to select ones that are relevant to your presentation – pens and paper for a business plan; a phone or a letter for communications.

When you follow these three simple steps, you’ll always be able to create great templates and presentations that keep your audience awake at night!
