ChooseGo to the variants section and change the color scheme and other elements of the theme.Find your own – Go to Google and do a search for FREE PowerPoint Templates. In your search, make sure you still choose something professional looking. Many of the downloads available are still obnoxious or are made for a particular subject. Pick something more general.When you download the zip file, unzip it. There will be a PowerPoint file and image files. Use the image files as your background.Change the background on the bullet points on slide 3 to no fill.Transitions Change all transitions on all slides but the first to a basic simple one like fade or split. (remember to hold the CTRL key and highlight all relevant slides.)Change the transition on the first slide to a more fancy one. Fonts – Go to the Design tab and pull down the arrow in the variants section. Change the fonts to the fonts of your choice. You will probably still need to change the fonts on the titles of each slide. Make sure ALL TITLES have the same font!Change all colored fonts to black (or the same color you are using throughout the whole PowerPoint.)Change the title page font to WordArt.Bullet Points Many of the bullet points are too wordy or unnecessary.
