The impressive collection of the ALLPPT resource is very heterogeneous. Some templates boast a large number of slides with a high concentration of content, others consist of a couple of almost bare backgrounds. Therefore, to find something really worthwhile, you may need extra time.
Free presentation templates on the resource are grouped under categories such as abstraction, education, nature, finance, food, business and more.

This resource offers big choice the simplest templates with a minimum number of elements on the slides. This format is best suited for cases where you need to quickly create a simple presentation without sitting up to customize its content. A typical PPT Template includes several slides with different variations of the same background without additional elements. The site has a rubricator with a large number of topics: from animals to technology.
If some fonts do not display correctly, you can download them separately. Links must be present on the template download page or on its last slide.
?", so I will not repeat myself, I will only say that the advantage of the 2010 version is a richer choice of built-in themes. You can also read about how to change the design of the selected template at your discretion in the above article.
The second way. Adding a template when creating a presentation
One of the differences between PowerPoint 2010 and 2007 is that the Office button has disappeared from the menu. Now its role is played by the tab File.
To create new presentation based on the template, you need to go to the tab File and select item Create. A window of available themes and templates from Microsoft Office will open. As in PowerPoint 2007, this collection contains not only templates, but also diagrams, charts, cards, slides with ready-made backgrounds, books, forms, and more.
You can browse through each category and see available templates and other materials. The screenshot, for example, shows the available presentations for educational institutions.
The search field is now located in the middle of the window. This is a very handy tool for finding templates that must meet certain criteria. For example, if you enter the query "green background", then as a result we will get 35 templates with a green background in the output. Time saving in its purest form.
The third way. Alternative PowerPoint Templates
The themes provided do not always meet our needs. But most often you can find a suitable template on the Internet, made by both professional companies and big fans of creating templates with their own hands.
There are quite a few sites that provide their templates for presentations on a paid or free basis, so finding them is not a problem. Including in ours to create PowerPoint presentations.
For other resources, see
When a suitable template is found, in order to start creating a presentation based on it, you just need to open it. 🙂
I want to disappoint you, but PowerPoint does not include design templates. Often these templates are no longer in vogue and will immediately be perceived by your audience as a "low-quality product".
I suggest 2 solutions:
1. Don't use templates at all. Unite your slides with a single color scheme and make the format and position of the titles the same on all slides except the first and last.
2.Create your own templates if you plan to use and edit this presentation in the future. To do this, we need to go to the tab View -> Slide Master. This is a secret room, which not everyone knows about, as practice shows :) 
In this section, we can create our own template!
I usually delete all the default master slides in the left tab and create mine from scratch. All you need here is to add fillers and decorate them.
Now you have your own template. Bonus: As a reward for reading this section, I want to give you my secret weapon for creating presentations - a free template of 800 animated slides with infographics, icons and maps, which is very creative. Believe me, it's worth it :) (on our page you can subscribe and get 800 cherished templates)
2 Use 3-5 base colors when creating presentations.
Please do not use more than 5 different colors in your presentation. Moreover, use only 3 base colors, as the other 2 are usually shades of the base colors. How to choose a color palette.
⁃ One of the three shades should be highlighted for the background. Decide right away - it will be a presentation with a light or dark background. If you are an advanced designer, you can try to alternate, but in this article I skip these experiments.
⁃ Next, choose a color for the text. It should be as contrasting as possible with respect to the background color. The ideal and often found option: the background is white - the text is black. But this option is inferior in terms of creativity :) So let's look at a few examples. Maybe I can give you some ideas:Gray background, blue body text and dark gray accent. White background, black text, blue accent. 3 Colors. Alternates with a dark background and white text. Dark background, white text, light green accent. Shades of light green are also used here and a dark and light background alternates.
If you still couldn’t decide on a color palette or you don’t have a company/project brand book, then I suggest you the following resource color.adobe.com
Here you can choose a color palette based on the image, and also in the "Explore" tab (Watch) see the solutions of other users and even find out the number of views and likes :) 
3 Refuse 3D icons from search engines - turn to linear and flat icons.
Unfortunately, I still often see slides that use voluminous low-quality icons. Now it is an outdated theme and looks very ugly. And some do not use icons at all, which is also bad, because visualization is important in the presentation, and not just solid text. Purpose of icons: replace unnecessary text and speed up the memorability and comprehensibility of information. My advice to you: use icons from this resource when creating a presentation - flaticon.com
Flaticon icons will make your presentation more modern and concise.
There is a section there Packs", where you can find icons of the same style on a specific topic from one designer. I advise you to comprehensively select icons in this way so that everyone is in the same style.
Subconsciously, we feel every detail in the presentation up to the line thickness of the icons, and if this thickness is different between the icons, then the presentation immediately ceases to harmonize, and subconsciously we no longer perceive it as a quality one.
Also, when working with icons, I want to note such a trend among people as "syndrome of blindness". This is when everything in the presentation is done in large sizes - "for everyone to see." Making everything huge will greatly reduce the quality of your presentation, and icons only look good at small sizes. Let's look at an example:
4 Each slide is a picture and needs a frame. Or not needed?
When creating a presentation, respect the frame from the borders of the slide. Moreover, large frames are in fashion now. Important: the distance from the borders to the content of the slide should be the same on all sides. Example:
What can happen? It may turn out that the content that you planned to place does not fit on one slide, and that's good! No need to try to cram everything on one page. It's better to split it into two slides with the same title.
One slide - one message.
Why do everything in large sizes - the slide needs air.
5 Give up bad habits. Quit with serif fonts.
If you are not an avid designer and do not experiment with fonts, then I advise you not to use serif fonts.
I offer you the following list of fonts: System fonts:
Arial Black (headers only)
Calibri Third party fonts:
Bebas (headers only)
Gotham Pro How to combine fonts when creating a presentation?
If you have never touched on the topic of font combinations before, then I advise you to use only one group of fonts when creating a presentation and change only its type. For example, make the heading Arial Black, and for plain text Arial, or another option from third-party fonts - the heading is Raleway Bold, and the body text is Raleway Regular.
If you still decide experiment, then you can try the following combinations:
Bebas Bold - header
Raleway Regular - plain text
For other combinations, I prefer to choose one font and change only its type. This is more correct.
And here's a couple links which I personally use to download fonts:
6 When creating a presentation, use only high-quality images.
This is generally a sore subject. Especially here in Russia. If anyone read Artemy Lebedev's book "Kovodstvo", then there he clearly notes how, due to the fall of design culture after the collapse of the USSR, our population's taste for quality design was distorted in parallel. Perhaps you are reading now and will never appreciate the work that I am celebrating here. And it's not because you're a bad person, but because our environment hasn't allowed you to develop good design taste.
I can only give advice something that has been working great in our studio for several years and is valued internationally (tested on all continents of planet Earth):
⁃ Do not use images from search engines as background images if it is not necessary
⁃ Download images only from specialized sites where photographers publish their work
⁃ Use images as background high resolution- for me it is at least 1000 pixels in height and width
⁃ Do not use stock images with forced smiles of people and a white background. It looks unnatural.
⁃ You can use the following resources as sources: flickr , unsplash , everypixel
7 Do not use outlines. Either fat or nothing.
Now let's dive into the design a bit.
You may notice that when you draw a shape in PowerPoint, it may come out blue and with a light blue outline. Important: remove these lines immediately. They will only emphasize that you are not in trend and did not want to bathe with the design of the presentation.
Which begs the question: are contours out of fashion now?
Answer: no, they just mutated into large frames :). Here are the contours you can still use now:
And the rest - yes, the contours have gone out of fashion like white wigs once did.
8 Do not use shadows. Either large and blurry, or none.
Shadows, of course, have not gone out of fashion, unlike contours. But they have turned into something exclusive and expensive. Like a Patek Philippe watch. You either buy an original or a Chinese fake and everyone understands that this is a Chinese fake.
The moral of the story is this: if you can create trendy shadows, great! If not, then please cancel them everywhere in the tab " Format".
PowerPoint comes with shadows by default (especially in earlier versions). And I can tell you for sure that such shadows should be removed immediately from the template. Let's look at examples: Bad shadows from PowerPoint
Nice shadow from Dribbble
Nice shadow from PowerPoint I even attach the settings for you if you still want to use shadows. But use this power wisely ☝ and don't cast such a shadow on all the figures in a row so that they don't fill the entire background. 
9 How to make tables and charts beautiful? Remove all unnecessary.
Here, in fact, the rules intersect, but I noticed that for some, when it comes to tables and diagrams, they seem to forget everything: the rule of colors, outlines, shadows, frames, and the like.
However, I have already described all the errors. The only thing left to do is not to do it. :) Let's see in practice:
Here is the smoker's table:
What is the difference? One is heavy and bulky, the other is clean and concise. Note:
⁃ There is free space between the cell border and the content.
⁃ Of course there are no contours
⁃ No extra shadows
⁃ Some fields are not shaded at all
10 The slide is your canvas. Be creative. Imagine that you have a brush in your hand.
If presentations were created in Paint, the slides would look much more creative. I say this because often we ourselves drive ourselves into PowerPoint template frames, although there you can also create unique works of art. Consider examples of slides created in PowerPoint:
I wish you to create only high-quality presentations for your projects!
