How can I effectively design in PowerPoint?

Answer

To design effectively in PowerPoint, we recommend using the following functions and tools:

Creating Infographic-Style Shapes: Use PowerPoint's shape tools to create visually appealing graphics. Use the Arrange, Align, and Group Tools to organize, group and align shapes.
Inserting Images: Insert images to enhance your presentation, using shapes and symbols, such as those found in Wingding Fonts, within text boxes to add a visual element.
Eye Dropper Tool for Color Selection: For colour matching, use the Eye Dropper Tool to select colours from images or other elements within your presentation.

Our online "Get Started with PowerPoint" guide and video covers step-by-step instructions and practical tips to help you design in PowerPoint.

Note: If you are creating a Poster in PowerPoint, consider changing the slide size to the size of your poster.
This is done via the Design>Slide Size>Custom Slide Size.

When creating a poster using PowerPoint instead of MS Publisher or Adobe InDesign, it's important to resize the PowerPoint slide to match the dimensions of your poster. This ensures you have a clear view of the entire workspace for designing the poster.

The default PowerPoint slide size is not a standard page size commonly used for posters. Resizing the slide to the appropriate dimensions, you will have better control over the layout and visual elements.
