Presentation Design: Create a Professional Template

Begin by getting to know Katya as she shares her story of how she left the noisy world of advertising, and shifted her line of work to communicate more intimately. She discusses her influences, references, and talks about what inspires her to create.

Dive right into the principles of design. Start by establishing the art direction. Understand the difference between working with a brand manual or creating and using your own mood board. Learn about color theory, typography theory, composition, and layout. Then, choose the elements that best fit your project’s intention.

Start creating your template by setting up your workspace and choosing the right theme and format. Katya teaches the importance of using grids and walks you through a typical template layout. Learn how to select, adjust, and optimize images and icons. Hone in on the details of your template by covering style source, proportions, line and character spacing, and alignment.

Learn about how to create a master slide and the role it plays within your template. Create different themes to work with and customize each slide. Once your template design is ready, learn how to correctly save, export, and reuse it.
