Common issues faced by PowerPoint Designers The first and foremost issue is the design
ideas, which we covered in lecture 1 of this section, that is to look at envato market’s
best selling or best rated Premium powerpoint templates.
Next comes font choice.
Default fonts that comes with powerpoint are old.
If you use them, then your presentation won’t look unique.
Preset fonts are boring and that’s why we are going to use custom fonts in all our slides
that we are going to design.
Don’t worry I will guide you to select different custom fonts and install it on your PowerPoint,
with hands on tutorials.
Color choices are the worst issue faced by any beginner in PowerPoint.
Though you can use any color within PowerPoint itself, it’s so cruel to ask yourself to
choose the interesting color combinations without the help of any tools.
Like I said in the previous lectures, these premium templates look awesome, mainly because
of the stunning stock images and mockup images that are used through those templates.
The recently emerging issue is the Icons that are used in PowerPoint designs.
If you don’t use icons, then you’re already lagging behind in terms of trendy designs.
The above discussed items can be considered as Tools in the hands of a mechanic.
However skilled a mechanic be, without proper tools, the work won’t be easy and perfect.
That’s why i have covered the above things in the next section itself in a comprehensive
manner.
But having all modern tools without the skill to use them is pity.
In PowerPoint skill can be divided into Design skill and animation skill.
To cover this efficiently and effectively, I have crafted the curriculum in such a practical
way.
For example, you will be learning 4 - 5 design skills in the manner of 1 skill per lecture.
But if you keep on learning design skills and features, you’ll get overwhelmed by
them.
That’s why after learning 4 - 5 design skills, we will put them into practice by designing
a complete slide.
Animation skills are also taught in the same way.
The last issue that’s faced by PowerPoint users is Time consumption for Slide designing
and animation.
I have got a solution for that too.
Let’s me tell you what it is in the upcoming lectures..
So, before moving into Slide design and animation, first let’s move on to resolving all these
common issues one by one.
