A typical PowerPoint presentation comprises a bunch of slides and I like to think of these slides as akin to a blank canvas — you add your content to the slides in much the same way as you use brushes to create strokes of paint to color a canvas. However unlike canvas, PowerPoint does not like to provide you a non-structured freedom — and this can be good in many ways. Primarily, PowerPoint categorizes each slide type into one of its prescribed layouts — examples of such layouts include the Title layout, the Title and Content layout, the Title Only layout, the Blank layout, and several more layouts.
