POWERPOINT DESIGN CLASS

This document discusses why templates should be avoided for presentations. It notes that templates lead to too many bullet points, discourage the use of graphics, and have designs that are outdated from the 1990s. Templates also cause all presentations to look the same and lose the audience's interest. The document recommends choosing a color palette, font scheme, and layout that are consistent yet understated to make the presentation look professional and tell the audience where each slide fits into the overall message.
