You're already using a theme in your PowerPoint
presentation, even if you don't know it. The

00:00:15.650 --> 00:00:22.650
default Office theme is where this color palette
comes from; also your theme fonts; and last

00:00:23.710 --> 00:00:27.200
but not least, shape styles.

00:00:27.200 --> 00:00:32.040
What exactly is a theme? It's a set of design
elements that can be applied to your presentation

00:00:32.040 --> 00:00:35.900
to give it a consistent, professional look,
making it possible to change the tone of your

00:00:35.900 --> 00:00:40.120
presentation in a single click. Let me show
you what I mean.

00:00:40.120 --> 00:00:44.900
Let's go to the Design tab, where we can mouse
over the thumbnails in the Themes gallery

00:00:44.900 --> 00:00:50.309
for a preview. As you can see, the background
and the theme elements I've used are changing,

00:00:50.309 --> 00:00:55.470
including font, color - even the logo I put
together using shape styles. It's almost like

00:00:55.470 --> 00:00:57.030
I'm using a template.

00:00:57.030 --> 00:01:02.820
You can also click the More arrow in the bottom
right corner to see all of the themes at once.

00:01:02.820 --> 00:01:08.890
This is one of my favorites. Just click to
apply it, and the change takes effect immediately.

00:01:08.890 --> 00:01:12.740
Keep in mind, trying out different themes
will only work if you take advantage of what

00:01:12.740 --> 00:01:17.929
they have to offer - including theme fonts,
colors, and shape styles. Other colors and

00:01:17.929 --> 00:01:21.679
fonts that you've chosen yourself won't reflect
the change.

00:01:21.679 --> 00:01:28.679
Now every slide - from Title, to Section Header,
to Content - has been given a fresh new look.

00:01:29.189 --> 00:01:34.149
Themes even have their own unique slide layouts.
Notice how freely the layout changes if I

00:01:34.149 --> 00:01:39.329
switch to this themeů or this one.

00:01:39.329 --> 00:01:43.170
Themes are a great way to experiment with
the design of your presentation. With so many

00:01:43.170 --> 00:01:50.170
to choose from, it's easy to create professional-looking
presentations without a lot of time and effort.
