I'm working on a business presentation
for a pasta company and right now I'm
using the Austin theme the built-in
themes look really good and they're a
great starting point but it's even
better if you can customize them so that
they are unique to your company or your
project
we'll start by going to the design tab
as you may already know every theme has
its own colors fonts and effects and one
of the coolest things about them is that
you can mix and match parts from
different themes let's try some
different colors
the adjacency colors look good and you
can see that they've changed the
background colors and the font colors
and just about everything else
now sometimes when he changed the theme
colors it may not update all of the font
colors right away if that happens just
save and close your file and when you
reopen it it should look right
now to really customize the colors we
can go back to the colors menu and go to
create new theme colors
here we could pick all new theme colors
but I'm just going to change a couple of
them if you have a really specific color
in mind you can go down to more colors
and here you can pick the exact color
that you want
for accent - I think I'm going to go
with kind of a dusty orange color
and when you're done you can give the
theme colors a name
and then save them
the fonts work basically the same as the
colors you can choose the fonts from a
different theme or you can create new
theme fonts
and it's up to you whether you want your
fonts to have a lot of contrast or if
you want them to be similar I'd like to
have some contrast so that they'll
really stand out
and then give the theme fonts a name
and save
and you can also change the theme
effects
I think the paper effects give a really
distinctive look to the logo
and finally every theme is going to have
an assortment of background styles that
you can choose from
once you have everything exactly how you
want it you may want to save the theme
just click the drop-down arrow to open
up the themes menu and then click Save
current theme
type a name for the theme
and then save it
you have just created your very own
theme and you can now use it in other
presentations and you'll even be able to
access it from Word and Excel so if
you're giving a presentation you could
create handouts in Word with some tables
and charts from Excel and everything
would match the style of your PowerPoint
presentation like what you just saw rate
