How do you make a presentation polished?
-
Consider adding a template.
-
There are many websites that have free Google slides templates for people to use in this video.
-
We'll focus on slides go dot com to find the template that you want.
-
You can search using the search bar, or you can use the toolbar that lets you search by color, style, industry and other options.
-
You will see a variety of different types of templates.
-
However, you do not want to choose a template that requires you to make drastic changes.
-
Let's start a search here.
-
I like the state creative template.
-
Let's take a look at the template.
-
This window lets me preview the presentation.
-
Looking at the background color options, it is important to check if the font is easier to read.
-
I'm going to select the first background color because the text really stands out.
-
You can use the arrow keys to flip through the presentation to see features and layouts.
-
If you like the template, click use a Google Slides theme.
-
Click the button, make a copy.
-
The presentation is saved to your Google drive.
-
You could rename it here.
-
Now you can edit the presentation to include the information that you want, similar to how you would edit any other Google Slides presentation.
-
Looking at the second slide, it tells you how to use the features of this template.
-
For example, it mentions the alternative resource is and thanks slides, which we will talk about later in this video.
-
After you understand the features and finish editing your presentation, you can delete this slide.
-
You can also check out layout options by clicking the drop down arrow next to the plus sign.
-
Another way to make edits is by going to slide, then edit Master.
-
Here, you can edit individual layouts, but keep in mind that any changes made here apply to all slides with that layout.
-
For example, if you find yourself changing the font size often, you could change the font.
-
With that slide layout to close out of this window, click the X, making a copy of a slide a super useful.
-
If you want to reuse the layout on another slide, right click on the slide you want, then duplicate slide.
-
Some templates come with alternative resource is to give you options that match the design.
-
I can choose any of these illustrations by copy and pasting them to another slide near the bottom of the slides.
-
Navigation pane you may find edible resource is for your slides.
-
Here you can see graphics, maps, tables and more.
-
Unlike the alternative resource is, these graphics are not part of the theme.
-
Therefore, you may have to change their color or resize them to make them fit the theme better.
-
Here are the instructions for use.
-
It's up to you to read them carefully and understand how to keep your presentation and compliance with slides goes terms and conditions.
-
After you read the instructions for you slide, you can delete this slide and any other slide with graphics that you do not need but don't delete the things slide.
-
Here is where it gives credit to slides Go, which is required by their terms and conditions.
