Making a Power Point
It is easy and fun! Just remember to make
it informative as well.
PPT Intent
Please note that this ppt is intended to be
unadorned resulting in a presentation
without a colour scheme, regular
transitions, or pictures. The intent is to
keep the focus on how to create a ppt
while freeing you up to imagine how this
ppt could be enhanced.
Step One

• use a title that states the topic e.g.

your screen

change it later at anytime)
• the next slide shows a layout I have
chosen for this ppt

the title “Slide Design”
