Designer can automatically suggest layouts, and slide designs that you can apply with just a click. Simply start by adding text and images to your slides and Designer will start showing you design suggestions in the right sidebar. You can also manually access Designer by going to Design > Designer.<\/p>\n\n\n

Use PowerPoint Templates<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another way you can make slides faster in PowerPoint, is by making use of PowerPoint templates. Instead of creating your slides from scratch, you can save a lot of time and effort by just using a pre-made slide template, and then customizing it to your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using templates also gives you another advantage, your slides end up looking much more impressive. But it\u2019s not just for looks. A well-designed presentation slide can also boost your confidence, improve your presentation, and can make your message much more impactful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep Things Simple : Guy Kawasaki\u2019s 10\/20\/30 Rule<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next time you\u2019re creating a presentation, remember to keep things simple. You don\u2019t need 30 extravagantly designed slides full of content. Nobody wants that. Presentations like those are the reason why the term \u201cdeath by PowerPoint\u201d exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A simple way to create slides for your presentation, is to follow Guy Kawasaki\u2019s 10\/20\/30 rule\/. What the rule says is that: your PowerPoint presentation should have 10 slides, your presentation should last not more than 20 minutes, and the font you use on your slides should not be smaller than 30 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating a process \u2013 so that you don\u2019t get stuck or have mental block.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You could spend your downtime learning and improving your graphic design skills. But if you want to save time, you can always use pre-made presentation templates as I’ve mentioned before. But however you choose to work on your slides, you should always have a process for creating slides. This ensures that you always know what you need to do, and never get stuck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t have a process for creating slides, here\u2019s one that you can use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
