For example, today's article will teach you how to make PPT templates hand in hand.

This sharing focuses on the practical part.

PPT template, several principles that should be followed:

1. Easy to use and convenient for users to apply

2. Use theme colors and change colors / fonts with one click

3. Determine the design specification of the whole set of templates.

4. If there is logic, existence must have its rationality.

Next, I will explain it from three aspects: pre-preparation, mid-production and post-verification of template production.

01. Pre-preparation requires a lot of preparation and determination, including: template style, content structure, inspiration reference, design specifications, and so on.

① template style must first set the style, which is the tone of the whole template, control the length, this time we take the education industry as the template style direction.

② content structure content structure, not specific to what the content of each page, but general content.

For example, the most basic 5 parts: cover, table of contents, transition page, text and last page.

The templates of most companies basically have only these pages, and some special ones will also do chart specifications, table specifications, partner pages, and so on.

However, if you want to consider sale, it is necessary to take into account the integrity of the template structure.

Extend on the basis of the text in most of the previous 5, including but not limited to: 1, 2, 3, 4. Section page, logic, process diagram, etc.

Here to provide you with a direction to find the diagram, go to foreign PPT sites to see the structure, such as: slidesgo, Graphicriver.

In particular, Graphicriver, where the logical diagram pages are in hundreds of units, has a high reference value.

Ps: if you must use real content, it is recommended to go to Baidu library, Baidu encyclopedia, industry reports to select and delete, change the text.

③ inspiration refers to the inspiration of the education industry, take petals as an example, directly search for the keyword "education", and then select the drawing board.

I picked a landing page in it:

Extract color matching and basic elements from this landing page:

At this point, the tone of the whole PPT template has been basically set.

④ design specification design specification includes: color matching specification, version center specification and text specification.

Color matching specifications:

Blue is the dominant color, ice blue is the secondary color, and orange is the embellished color. At the same time, the font color is set to black, white and gray.

Version Center Specification:

The center of the page is the area where all text groups, shape groups, and picture groups on the page are typeset.

It is usually divided by the following sections of the title, like this:

Text specification:

Determine the font size and line spacing of each level of text.

The Chinese font is defined as Siyuan boldface, and the English font uses Calibri.

The main line spacing of the text is 1.2 and 1.5 times, the title size of the inner page is 24, and the text is mainly 18, 16 and 14.

In addition, in the design specification step, you need to set both the theme word and the theme color:

Ps: the first four colors of the theme color can be unmodified.

Next, extend a few pages based on the extracted base elements.

02. Mid-term production will first set the title column of the text, in the extraction of the basic elements, you need to pay attention to which can be used above.

Take this shape as an example:

Formed by a combination of rectangles and lines, make a transformation, narrow and widen the corresponding shape, and determine the title bar:

On the left is the text title section. It is not recommended that you put the title font size very large, but set it according to the standard font size and widen it directly to the right boundary of the center of the version.

If there is a logo on the far right side of the page, you can put logo, or a small decoration if not.

Then use the shape-taking function of the Yinghao plug-in to convert the title block text into a placeholder.

Let's take a look at the catalog page, and also directly select a set of shapes:

Catalogue pages can be made in two types, taking into account the amount of text and the amount of text. Here, take the content with less text as an example:

Shorten the single title catalog group, increase the height appropriately, and then copy multiple ones to adjust the spacing between them.

Note here: the spacing between each directory title group must be equal so that it looks standardized and easy to modify and adjust later.

Next, take the catalog page with more text as an example:

Some content will inevitably have a lot of branch points, so you need to add an additional catalog page to facilitate modification and use.

After this step, it is recommended that you also transfer the text to placeholders. The specific actions are as follows:

Select a catalog title, find the filter in the small stubborn brief-the same font size, you can select the title text box with the same font size, and finally use the shape-taking interchange function in the Yinghao plug-in to turn the text box into a text placeholder.

It should be noted that it is most appropriate for placeholders to be done with unchanged content, such as catalog pages, transition pages, inner page titles, and prototype pages.

Otherwise, not only the workload of template makers increases, but also the difficulty of users' application, which is one of the reasons why a lot of foreign templates can not be set up, because they have too many placeholders.

Once the catalog page is set, you can then set the transition page:

Let's take three inner pages as examples:

The first is three-paragraph content, despite the fact that there are many frames, all of which are composed of basic elements:

As a result, you can also expand to make four, five and six paragraphs of the page.

Then take the two-paragraph logical diagram as an example, in the case of many rectangles, in order to make the picture less rigid, you can add some circles to neutralize, like this:

Although the shape is very simple, there are a lot of details, shadows, lines and so on need to be set.

If you take a look at the prototype page used in high frequency, you can draw a rounded rectangle directly on the prototype, and then convert it into an image placeholder, which can be used repeatedly:

Here comes another key point. A lot of placeholders have been made before, and it is easy to get confused if there are too many pages. At this time, you need to rename the layout in the master plate to facilitate users to choose and modify it:

After finishing the above pages, I also have a certain understanding of how to extend according to inspiration.

As for other content pages, such as flowcharts, honor pages, and more logical graphics pages, that content is commonplace for PPT designers.

If there is still a lack of content and layout reference, please go back to the second point of preparation for this article and take a look back.

03. Later verification is in fact the final inspection, checking the following places:

Can ① modify the theme color with one click

Can ② replace the subject word with one click?

Is the master layout of ③ slides named

Whether the ④ content is controlled in the heart of the version.

By the way, if you set the theme color, then copy the content from any standard template, and the colors of all elements on the page will be changed automatically, which is the charm of the theme color.

At this point, the production of a basic PPT template is complete.
