How to save those ugly ppt quickly

When we were schoolchildren, we knew there was something called a code of conduct, not only telling us what to do, but also telling us what not to do. In other words, the role of the code of conduct is to let us in the abandonment of ugliness on the basis of doing the truth and beauty.

When it comes to PPT design, we should also know which places are beautiful, comfortable to design, and, more, what are ugly and annoying designs.

Some time ago, I for everyone recruited a 400 copies PPT works, from these works, I found that everyone in the PPT design, the United States is not the same, but the ugly is stereotyped.

So, today we talk about how to avoid making a very cheap ppt work in ppt design.

This article is mainly from two major aspects:

What does that mean? PPT is to let the audience easily get the message that the speaker wants to convey, and many of the failure of the PPT work is the opposite, in the PPT added a large number of obstacles to convey the elements of information, resulting in a simple access to information viewers difficult to increase, and then let the audience lose the thought of watching.

Therefore, I think that the rejection of the ugly-force PPT design, to the page of some elements after the deletion of a unified treatment.

Let's take a look at an example:

The left side of the information and the information on the right there are a lot of overlapping areas, so we look like a lot of content.

But after analysis we can find that this page ppt only to let the audience understand the left side of the information, and the right side of the information is superfluous, so the page after the deletion of PPT, you can get such a new page of PPT:

Is the overall look a lot clearer, information at a glance? This is the result of reducing the information and processing it uniformly.

Perhaps many readers will ask, what content needs to be reduced and unified in PPT design?

I think there are 6 aspects:

　"The first: need to reduce and unify, is the PPT background"

The comfortable PPT background has always been as an overlooked design sense, but the ugly ppt background will be very conspicuous.

In order to make people understand more intuitive, we give you a few examples to see.

Here are two examples of too complex backgrounds,

The comfort of the background is certainly not so fancy, and their general features are concise and relevant to the theme.

If you really don't know how to do it, use pure white or plain black as the background.

Use pure black:

Why use a simple background?

On the one hand, because many people are more and more lack of patience, if the entire PPT use of the background is too complex, will let the audience watch tired.

Similarly, when we receive this kind of flyer, I believe that a lot of people will basically not look at it.

Because when our eyes see too complex information, the signal that the brain sends is to refuse to receive.

On the other hand, a unified background has a sense of design:

So the first thing we have to do is make the background easier, like this:

　"The second: to reduce and unify, is the type of font"

Excellent PPT works, in the choice of fonts, generally not more than 3 kinds, and ugly force ppt, want a page for a different font to use.

First look at an ugly-looking ppt design:

Take another look at a good PowerPoint work:

Why do we recommend not to choose too many kinds of fonts in a PPT to use it?

Still that reason, the audience is too hard to watch, because each font will have different glyphs, if a PPT type uses 6 fonts, then the audience will recognize 6 glyphs.

And if a ppt, the title only select a font, and the text also only choose a font, the audience does not need to repeatedly identify the different glyphs, in other words, the audience will look more relaxed.

And when we know the technique, and then a question comes up, how do we choose the right font?

My suggestion is that the cover and title select Bold, and the body selects the fine body. This will not only match the level of sense, but also to highlight the focus.

This is my commonly used in several universal collocation font, many types of PPT are applicable, we can refer to.

　　"The third: need to reduce and unify, is the color"

Color in the use of PPT played a lot of role, such as to strengthen the brand attributes, such as Alibaba in the IPO roadshow in the use of orange;

The blue of choice when a stranger is playing:

For example, to highlight the PPT properties, such as a cool PPT will use black and so on.

And for example, in order to match the scene, like a conference ppt often use dark color is sometimes to avoid dazzling.

But some ugly-driven ppt, often use n many colors, will play a role in the impact:

A color using too much ppt, can make people feel very pompous, very cheap.

So my advice is, try to use less color, choose a main color, and then with a complementary color is good.

This kind of PPT is usually like this:

Or this way:

The overall look is very harmonious, this is the charm that the little and unification brings.

　　"The fourth one: to reduce and unify, is the effect and type of picture"

Let's take a look at how many effects you can add to a picture in PPT:

Each of these effects has some difference between each one, and if you use a variety of effects in a ppt, the picture in the entire piece will look messy.

And my advice, is to try to use a picture effect in the whole PPT.

In addition, on the type of picture, I also recommend that the style be consistent.

I saw some friends in the PPT, a page of ppt not only selected comic-style pictures, but also the use of photographic images:

This kind of style is not unified picture piling together, can make people feel very strange.

The next thing we see is a good piece of Google's hand-painted style:

The entire PPT uses the hand-painted picture, this lets the person think this is a hand-painted style ppt.

　　"The fifth one: to reduce and unify, is the shape effect"

About the shape, there are so many effects, as with the previous part, my advice is also, a PPT, do not use a variety of effects.

　　"Sixth: to reduce and unify, is the animation effect"

I did a small survey before, found that many beginners are particularly obsessed with the use of animation effect, but also want to add a different effect, but the master is often not very like to use.

This is the full animation effect:

But not all of the effects are suitable for use, due to the demonstration barrier, I give you circle several can use the effect, other try not to use:

Here's a summary of what's above:

Reduce the miscellaneous elements in the background, using a unified background.

Reduce the type of font, uniform title and body text font.

Reduce the type of color, choose the main color, uniform color.

Reduce the application of picture effect, uniform effect, unified style.

Reduce the application of shape effect, uniform effect.

Reduce the application of animation effect, reduce the effect of animation use, the same logic under the uniform effect.
