Have you watched an expert tailor at work? They start by marking the pattern on the fabric. They don’t just slap down one chalk mark on the fabric and call it a day. There’s one chalk mark for the hem, another for the waist, and yet another for the sleeve length. Every single mark earns its place on that fabric. PowerPoint hands you the design equivalent of that very first chalk mark: one horizontal guide, one vertical guide, crossing politely at dead center of your slide. That works well for simple layouts, but more complex designs call for a more complete guide structure. Just like the tailor who can add chalk marks as needed, you can add more guides to create a proper visual structure for your slides.
