As soon as you have more than 3-4 slides in a presentation, you will benefit from creating and using a template – even if you are not creating a corporate template to be used by multiple users. Spending time on a template will actually save you time. The main reasons you need a template even for your SlideShare presentation: - You can change your fonts easily if you want to go from a more strict feeling to something more fun – and you can quickly try out different font combos. - You can change the whole color theme with one click. Maybe those blues you choose initially actually feels too… blue? One click and you’ve have a new set of colors. - You can change your mind about your layouts and quickly multi-edit several slides at the same time.

create templates for different
presentation mediums.

But…

18. You need to use placeholders
with defined theme fonts for
your text.
Change the theme fonts and all your placeholders
in the presentation will change font.

19. You need to use only colors
from your theme colors.
Change the theme color and all the colors in the
presentation will change to the new colors.

20. You need to use slide layouts and
have all content in text/picture/
graphic placeholders.
Change the slide layout and all the slide in the
presentation using the layouts will change

21. © Presentitude
Using a template this way will
make it easy to quickly change
your presentation!

For example…

23. This presentation with
different colors.

24. This presentation with

made in a few
minutes using a
template and
changing fonts,
colors and layouts
of the template.
