Further info here: http://www.ned-potter.com/blog/7-super-slide-styles-to-download-copy-and-adapt. This presentation tells the same story (about the increase in global internet use) 7 different ways. It then breaks down each slide into layout, the font used, where to find the image, and what the particular style is useful for. If you like any of the styles you can find a link, towards the end of the presentation, to the original PowerPoint - which you can then download, adapt, modify, build on and do whatever you like with. It's in the public domain. All of the 7 slide styles avoid Death by PowerPoint - the fonts are fresh and large, there's a mixture of images and coloured backgrounds, and there are absolutely no bullet points. Good luck creating your slides!

1. 7 Super Slide Styles to download, copy, build on and
adapt
2. So whats in this presentation? Its basically the same slide,
done 7 different ways. 7 ideas for slide style which you can adapt
for your own presentations. (If you like them.) Not a bullet point
in sight. Then at the end, theres a breakdown of each slide how it
works, what the font is, where the picture is from etc. Ready? The
internet usage stat on which the slides are based is from
internetworldstats.
3. Usage has risen from 11.6% of the worlds population in 2004,
to 40.7% in 2014
4. Internet use has risen from 11.6% percent of the worlds
population in 2004, to 40.7% percent in 2014
5. In 2004 there were 745 million internet users worldwide. A
decade on, there are now nearly 3 billion.
6. has increased by
7. Over the last decade, the number of people online has grown
by around 29%. In March 2004 there were 745 million internet users
worldwide. In March 2014 there are nearly 3 billion.
8. Time to break down those 7 slides Heres a slide by slide
guide to what you just saw
9. Big area for a feature image (find this image) Increased
width to fit the headline on one line plus it adds texture to the
slide by lying across both the main text box and the image An
example of this style Spincycle OT and Furore fonts Large block for
detailed text. A useful template for statistics, facts and figures.
Change the image for each slide, and the colour of the text block
for each section of your presentation.
10. Metropolis Extra and Quicksand Book fonts An image free
template thats all about the fonts. Useful for making something
stylish which doesnt take too long to create. Handy for training
materials as you can fit a decent amount of text in dont fill it up
completely though! Minimum font size of 24 at all times, people.
You either recolour the background for different sections, or have
one colour for the slides introducing each new section, and another
colour for the rest. Its just a plain green background which has
had the brightness and contrast adjusted to make sunburst effect so
its lighter in the middle. An example of this style
11. Elliot Six and Eraser fonts The idea of this template is to
emulate a childrens book. Its low effort to produce a large amount
of slides, as you only need to find one hand-drawn image from
IconFinder per slide. Otherwise, the typography is enough to make
it eye-catching. You can get away with softer browns and oranges
for the backgrounds of this style of slide Hand-drawn icon via
IconFinder.com (find this image)
12. TittiliumText22L LT font This template uses stylish images
(sourced via Flickrs Creative Commons, for example) with gaps in
which to insert a text box to get your message across. Works very
well for face-to-face presentations as the slides support what
youre saying out loud, rather than duplicate or distract from it. A
nice image which is free to use (find this image) An example of
this style
13. This design is similar to the last one but a bit easier to
do, as you use a semi-transparent text box (this ones set to 27 per
cent) meaning you dont have to spend time finding slides with
suitable gaps for text. As long as you dont spend endless hours
trying to find the perfect image for each background, this can be a
quick and aesthetically pleasing way to produce a presentation. An
example of this style Aaargh font Another image via Flickr (find
this image)
14. ChunkFiveRoman font (plus Pacifico in the middle) The idea
of this one is to blur the background image so you write directly
onto it and still clearly read the text. All the cool kids are
doing this these days. It relies on a nice chunky font to work, and
change the size so each line is the same width. This style is
useful for posters, too. Another Creative Commons picture (find
this image) An example of this style
15. Corbel font This style contrasts a coloured text box
against a black and white image. As long as you search Flickr for
images you can modify, you can use PowerPoint to recolour your
background to B&W. Use a differently coloured text box for each
section of your presentation. A Flickr Creative Commons image which
is licensed for modification, allowing me to make it black &
white (find this image) An example of this style
16. These slides are licensed under a Creative Commons
Attribution licence this is the most permissive licence Slideshare
offers. It means you can take this presentation and use it, modify
it, incorporate it into what youre already doing, extract a section
of it whatever you want as long as you Attribute me as the original
creator. If you can fit a quick based on an idea from @ned_potter
somewhere (it doesnt even have to be on the slides themselves) that
would be great, but dont worry about it too much!
17. If you see a template idea here youd like to copy, adapt or
expand on, you can download the original PPT file (13MB) from this
wiki page. (Slideshare allows you to download the PDF I uploaded,
but that isnt as easy to build on.) Keep in mind you need to
download and install the relevant fonts from fontsquirrel FIRST, or
PowerPoint will just do the best font-match it can, and itll look
truly terrible. The easiest thing to do then is delete the slides
you dont want or need, then right-click and duplicate the ones you
like. After that, edit the duplicated versions to have different
images, colours and text, and build up an effective presentation.
Have fun!

here. I have exactly ZERO graphic design skills. But I know where
to look for nice fonts and pics we can all legally use, and I know
how to make PowerPoint cooperate to create something nice.
