How to Make an Aesthetic Presentation From Scratch!

Introduction: How to Make an Aesthetic Presentation From Scratch!

Presentations can be tricky, but the key is to make them simply beautiful and informative. Why use a blank white background with black text when you can make a colorful and aesthetic presentation? Follow along as I teach you basic color theory and some presentation tricks.

Check out the second simpler design here!: https://www.instructables.com/How-to-Make-an-Aesthetic-Presentation-From-Scratch-1/

• A laptop/computer (If you use another device you will not be able to add the optional animations)
• Google Slides

Step 1: Starting From Scratch

Make a new presentation and delete the two boxes to create a blank presentation. Now you can start from scratch.

Next, click 'Background'. Choose a color, but it must be a very light color , or else the color theory won't work. In the next step, we will start to place darker shapes on top.

See pictures above for more guidance.

Step 2: Creating Your First Blob Shape

Make sure that your type of line is on 'Curve'. To make things more convenient, you can also zoom out 50%

With the 'Curve' type line, create a random blob (This is done by making dots in the pattern of the blob, and then double clicking to save it in Google Slides). Make sure that the blob is covering part of the light blue rectangle.

Remove the line border by making it transparent.

Click '+' to create a custom gradient color to fill the shape.

Change the number under "A" from 100 to 50. This will make the shape transparent.

Finally, choose a color that is darker than your background color to create an effect.

Click "OK" when you are done.

This is your first shape. Remember that only the part of the blob overlapping the rectangle will be in the final presentation.

Step 3: More Shapes

Create about 3-5 more shapes around the border, with different shades of the same color. If you need help, you can go back and look at Step 2 to see how to make the blobs.

After creating these blobs, you can add a couple of curved lines over them.

Tip: Round and elongated shapes usually add a lot more texture and contrast to each other, hence making a better and more beautiful template.

Step 4: Finishing Off the Title Slide

Almost Done!

You can go back to the zoomed-in size you were in before, and click 'Present' or 'Slideshow' at the top right to see how your template looks.

Create a new textbox in which you can write and adjust your title to your liking (the font I used was Comfortaa).

Although this all may seem overwhelming, the text slides will be much easier with the title slide as a major reference.

Step 5: Starting the Text Slides

Duplicate or copy and paste this title slide and delete the textbox with the title.

Click/tap each blob and use the corner tool to make it smaller on the rectangle. Do this to all the blobs until you decide there is enough empty space in the middle for a textbox.

You can also reposition, remake, elongate, or delete blobs to make empty space in the middle.

When you have made enough space, add the text you want.

You can duplicate your final text slide as many times as you'd like to create more topics. Just so that the presentation doesn't get boring with the same format, I'd recommend moving around the blobs throughout the text slides as well.

Presentations Tip: Organize your information in a clear way for people to understand. Instead of writing a full paragraph, summarize that paragraph into a few bullet points, or break it down into a few lines. This will make it much easier for the audience to comprehend.

Step 6: Final Slides

This step will cover three slides:

1. Thank You Slide/Final Slide

You can recreate or duplicate the title slide to make it your final Thank You slide.

2. Pictures Slide

To add pictures, make a new blank slide with the same background color and insert the pictures you want. If possible, try to move these pictures nearer to the middle. I would recommend the maximum pictures on one slide to be 6, and the minimum 2. (I found the pictures on Google.)

Add textboxes for captions and the title.

3. Interactive Slide

To make your presentations engaging, add an interactive slide of some sort. This could be like a video or quiz. If adding a video, you can make it like you made the pictures slide. Here, I will show you how to design a quiz fitting to the theme.

Firstly, make a new blank slide and add textboxes for the questions and answers. You can fill them with the custom colors we made previously with the blobs. You can also add a picture or video to support the question if there is any space. Stick to one question per slide for now.

Create a small circle blob of a contrasting color and add a checkmark symbol over it for the right answer. For the other answers, put 'x' marks.

Select all of the circle-shaped blobs and the 'x' marks and checkmarks and click 'Animate' next to Format Options. If you don't see this option, click the three vertical dots at the very right. (Note that the animation feature does not work on any device other than a laptop/computer.) When you click 'Animate', it will make it so that the selected blobs will appear in the presentation when clicked to reveal which answers are wrong and which ones are correct. To test this out, click 'Slideshow' or 'Present'.

Finally, you can insert a timer video on the side (I recommend between 20-30 seconds) to challenge the audience a bit when they answer the question. Then you can go to 'Format Options' and edit the video however you want it.

Step 7: Done!

If you found this too hard, then I would recommend exploring the features of Google Slides at your own level. Maybe if you understand the features more after that, you can come back and try this.

Thank you for following along!

Next, click on the Draw a Text Box button in the toolbar. Then draw a diagonal line where you want the new text box to be on your slide. Now you can start typing.

5. How to Change the Color of Text

5 Quick Tips to Make Your PowerPoint Presentation More Attractive in 2024

Wondering how to make your PowerPoint presentation attractive? There are a few essential tips to keep in mind. Follow these to make the best impression possible with every slide:

1. Choose the Right Theme

Building an attractive PowerPoint presentation starts with your theme. It’s essential to select a template that fits your needs. Premium aesthetic PowerPoint slides are built by professionals to support specific messages.

For example, if you’re sharing a lot of data, it helps to choose an infographic presentation like Chart Infographics PowerPoint .

As you can see, everything is in place for you to insert your data. The graphics are visually attractive and easy to understand. There’s no need to create them from scratch.

2. Explore Custom Fonts

When you’re creating a PowerPoint presentation, it’s easy to fall into using the same basic fonts over and over. But to add interest and attractive style, it’s best to mix up your fonts.

Not finding an aesthetic template you like? Envato Elements has a custom font section with thousands of stylish designs. You won’t find these anywhere else.

3. Use Plenty of Images

Nothing is less attractive than a boring text slide. It’s imperative to use illustrations and images that support what you’re trying to say. It's helpful to use aesthetic PowerPoint templates with an image-centric focus.

The premium Photography PowerPoint template  is a great example. 

Audiences gravitate towards imagery. When used right, you’ll capture their focus with photographs.

Plus, PowerPoint makes it easy with a full suite of image editing tools built in. Quickly insert, crop, frame, reshape, and resize images right on your slides.

Use these tutorials for adding images to build aesthetically pleasing PowerPoint slides:

4. Stay Focused

Attractive slides maintain focus on a single idea. There’s nothing more distracting (and less engaging) than slides that try and cover many things at once.

Keep in mind precisely what you’re trying to do and add a few points and illustrations to support that goal. Avoid unnecessary, flashy graphics whenever possible.

The secret lies in choosing (or creating) the right layouts. PowerPoint makes it easy to customize layouts to fit your needs.

Learn more in the tutorial below:

5. Cut the Clutter

We’ve already talked about choosing the right layout to stay focused in your narrative. Along with that, it’s crucial to reduce clutter on slides with aesthetic PowerPoint templates.

Remember, you may be presenting to a large room. Always keep text widely spaced and nicely contrasted with the background.

Be positive images are large enough to be seen and the text can be read by everyone.

5 Attractive (Aesthetically Pleasing) PowerPoint Design Trends for 2024

Keeping your audience's attention during your presentation has a lot to do with your slideshow's look. Engage your prospective clients or customers.

Add these 2024 PowerPoint design trends to your aesthetic slideshow:

1. Dark Mode

Flip the switch in 2024. Aesthetic presentation design is shifting away from the usual white backgrounds. Many social media apps done this as well.

There's a different look, but it's one that's welcome this year. It's easier on the eye and makes for a sharper presentation. 

2. Vibrant Colors

Muted color palettes have dominated the presentation and design landscape for many years. This trend is a hard push back. 

Add bright and bold tones for a modern look. In 2024, fire engine red or bright orange will make a bigger splash than its pastel cousin.

3. Animations and Transitions

Animations fall in and out of favor among the PowerPoint presentation community. But there's no doubt that they're effective in creating a fluid, aesthetic slideshow. Some aesthetic PPT templates include custom animations that you can use to follow this trend.

Envato Tuts+ has a few resources for using and customizing transitions:

4. Isometric Illustrations

Typography can make what you're saying stand out even more. While PowerPoint comes with default fonts, you can find custom options that complement your content.

5. Custom Image Frames

Photos are becoming more useful, and trendier, in a visually oriented world. Instead of using square or rectangle shapes, add some variety with unique frames.
