There are plenty of options in PowerPoint to make your slide background look great. Other than the default slide background styles, you can also explore solid, gradient, picture fills, texture fills, and pattern fills for your slide backgrounds. Among these alternatives, picture fills can look the most spectacular, but they can end up looking the most distracting as well. Clearly, there has to be some careful thought before you decide on a picture that’s suitable as a slide background.

What does positivity has to do with presentations? The answer is just one word: Everything. Positivity includes all the emotions associated with being nice — these are sincerity, genuineness, truthfulness, and trust. When you have an aura of these qualities around yourself — and your slides sync these qualities too, then you can be a better presenter even if you lack some of the other qualities associated with better presenting. These positive qualities are not the icing on the cake because they do not add decoration — rather positivity is the sugar you add to the cake itself.

The 12 different text effects contained within this sample presentation can be used with any text in PowerPoint 2007, 2010, or higher versions in Windows (and also PowerPoint 2008, 2011 or higher on Mac). These text effects vary all the way from simple hashed line fills to thicker sketchy lines. All these text effects are created specially to replicate the hand drawn look. Some text effects may work better only when applied to larger text – play around and test which one works best for you. None of these effects are suitable for body text – use them mainly for your slide titles. Use the Format Painter button to click on any of the sample text, and then click on the text where you want to copy these effects.
Download and copy these text effects to use them in your own presentations.
