Get rid of bullet points! 7 creative list presentation ideas

Last Updated on February 26, 2023 by Peter Z

Do you use lists and agendas often in your presentations? I bet the answer is yes. What is more: we use them every day, and not only at work. There are project plans, TODO lists, priority checklists, agendas, principles, and lots of others. Let’s get creative, go a little bit further than creating default SmartArt diagrams, and explore innovative list presentation ideas.

Here are a few fresh alternatives you can use to replace default bullet point enumerations in your presentations and make your notes more structured.

Editable PowerPoint graphic for bullet-points replacement is available in this Universal Diagrams Collection PPT Slide-Deck .

I believe you are tired of bullet points and simple lists as same as I do, so why don’t put a touch of originality to our slides? That way it is possible to create more attractive designs and, of course, impress your audience.

Here are several approaches you can use instead of bullet point enumerations:

• represent list by graphical metaphor , for example, a lighthouse graphics: when you need to illustrate strategy direction, leadership, or vision concepts. Or use a puzzle shape if your list should express points that create a strongly connected idea.
• replace bullets with a set of shapes with text inside e.g. arrows, circles, hexagons or rectangles. Using standard PowerPoint shapes is enough.
• use iconography to illustrate points , assigning a theme-related icon for a specific item.

Let’s explore several slide examples below.

7 Creative Ways of Illustrating a List

The general idea is to replace each item in bullet points with a visually more attractive design element. Below you’ll find several options of shapes you can consider. I suggest using shape types and colors that fit the most your brand or the graphical style you use in your business materials (every shape and symbol from our collection is editable).

1. Lighthouse Graphics

In a situation where the list has an even number of points, it is worth spreading them evenly on both sides of the slide, and in the middle put a graphic or illustration (in our case it is a lighthouse).

The lighthouse metaphor is also useful when you want to illustrate strategy direction, leadership, or vision concepts in an attractive way. Here are more examples of using these graphics:

You can explore the full collection of lighthouse infographics here:

Lighthouse Infographics Template

2. Arrow-shaped Templates – Dynamic Style

One idea is to replace bullet points with a series of arrows. You can use one color or several ones for each item. These arrow-shaped lists are good for expressing dynamic style. They quickly grab attention to a certain point:

You can apply your brand colors to the lists, as the arrows are PowerPoint editable shapes. Additionally, you can enrich the main points by adding a symbol for each item. Download the collection here:

Arrows Lists Collection

If you are looking for concept visualization ideas, check this article:  One Picture to Rule Them All – Concept Visualization List .

Here’s an example of a project plan checklist, illustrated with icons:

It’s quite a dense list so with help of the icons you can visualize your content better. Symbols make it easier to read and remember.

3. Key Components Hexagon List

Lists with an odd number of points are a bit more problematic to create because they are harder to spread out symmetrically on the slide. Think about some shapes in which you can type the text and distribute it so that it forms an attractive whole (such as the shape of a honeycomb). If the points do not have a lot of content, you can additionally enrich them with icons. Here’s an example of such a list:

This slide is included in the HR Talent Management presentation deck .

4. List with Numerous Strongly Related Points

When you need to present more points on the list, you can try the wheel layout. The individual elements of the list are distributed evenly around some circular element, in the following case it is a diagram consisting of three puzzles.

You can see more templates to illustrate actions against climate change here .

5. Road Signs as Bullets

Road signs are assigned to each point and affixed with the corresponding icon on the slides below. We chose the graphics of the road sign because we are talking about the rules of the workplace in this example and this visualization seems to be an interesting metaphor here. It’s good practice to find a metaphor for the content and visualize it graphically.

How to create such a sign? If you take a good look, you will see that it consists of the simple shapes that are in PowerPoint (circle and rectangle, seriously, there are no simpler shapes 😉 ) just fold them properly and you’re done.

See more slides from the road signs infographics deck here:

Road Signs Infographics

6. Circle Strip Lists for Smooth, Perfection Style

Okay, but what if we will get through pretty standard arrows to something more original but at the same time professional-looking? Our designers were experimenting a lot and here’s the result:

Looks more attractive than a standard bullet-point list, doesn’t it? 🙂 Such circles don’t steal attention from the content and add a modern touch to the slide.

Replace default bullet points in your agenda with colorful or mono-color lists with circles aside, see the full deck here . These rounded shapes can be used to represent values of something stable, friendly, something ideally shaped, and perfect.

7. Teardrops List Presentation Ideas to Combine Dynamics and Perfection

“Okay, – you would say, – but if I want to use arrows, but also like the idea of ideal round shapes?” Then I have to advise you on teardrops – a combination of arrows and circles together. This is a really good way to design eye-catchy slides without special knowledge and effort:

You can use teardrop lists for your investor pitches, market research reports, HR, strategy, and planning presentations .

Apply list diagrams for comparisons or longer agendas, and place as many items as you need. Check the teardrop lists set here .

Attractive lists can greatly refresh the overall slides’ look. A collection of design ideas by hand will help you create highly visual and elegant presentation content, and support your storyline.

Create beautiful numbered lists in PowerPoint

February 26, 2018 by Ellen Finkelstein 8 Comments

SmartArt and the new Designer feature in Office 365 are great for simple lists, but numbered lists are another story. Designer has a few options, but you can easily create a couple of templates for beautiful numbered lists and use them over and over.

Here’s one example and I’ll show you 2 more variations at the end.

1. Start with a list

Start with a simple list, like this one. You can have as many items as you want, but too many will make the slide cluttered.

Here, I numbered the list, but you’ll lose the numbers in the next step, so it isn’t necessary. You can use a bulleted list.

2. Convert to SmartArt

Note that the numbers are gone.

If you have Office 365, Designer might pop up and give you some options for your numbered list. A couple of them are nice so take a look at them.

3. Add the numbers

Before each item in the list, type a number, press Enter, and press the Tab key to indent the following text so that it appears in a separate shape. Your list should look like this.

I use this technique with this SmartArt layout to separate out important text, not just numbers. This helps your audience focus on the main ideas before delving into the details.

You can see the result below. You now see the primary and secondary shapes that make the Vertical Block List or Tab List layouts so useful.

4. Format the SmartArt

If you want to use the SmartArt tools to change the colors and effects, you can do that now. For example, select the SmartArt, choose the SmartArt Tools Design tab and click Change Colors. You can also choose formatting from the SmartArt Styles gallery.

I chose to change the colors later, so I skipped this step.

5. Ungroup the SmartArt

When you’re trying to be a little more creative, you’ll probably need to ungroup SmartArt. Follow these steps:

• Click the SmartArt to select it.
• Right-click the outside border and choose Group, Ungroup.
• Again, right-click the outside border and choose Group, Ungroup. (Yes, you need to do it twice.)

You now have individual shapes.

6. Adjust the size and spacing of the numbers

The default SmartArt makes the rounded rectangles with the numbers too wide. In most cases, you don’t want the numbers to overshadow your text.

To fix that, select all of them, click the central resizing handle on the right of one of them and drag to the left until the shapes with the numbers are square or almost square. You’ll get a result like the one you see here.

7. Have fun with a new shape and colors

I decided that I wanted to use a hexagon instead of a square, just because it’s more interesting. Also, the right angle functions a little like an arrow.

To change them, select the 3 rounded rectangles,  click the Format tab, choose Edit Shapes in the Insert Shapes group, and choose another shape, such as the hexagon.

I also changed the color of the hexagons to make them more interesting.

8. Change the background and shape color

You can do anything you want with the background and shape color and at the end, I’ll show you 2 variations but for this one, I chose a gray gradient background and white shapes for the text.

The main point is that the shapes should have a high contrast with the background and the text should be very clear.

9. Move and format the shapes for the text

• Select all 3 shapes with the text.
• Right-click and choose Format Object.
• In the Format Shape task pane, click the Text Options link at the upper right.
• Click the Textbox icon.
• In the Left Margin text box, increase the number until your text isn’t hidden.  I ended up with a left margin of 0.7″.

I also changed the shapes with the text to the pentagon arrow shape, using the same technique I described in Step 7.

10. Add an image or more text–and icons

What you do now depends on which final results you want. I made the pentagon shapes shorter to make room for an image. I then added a shadow to the image and the hexagons.

I also added icons from the Office 365 icon feature, but you can find or create your own if you don’t have Office 365. I colored them to match the numbers.

You can see the final result at the top of this post.

Here are 2 variations–one with a white background and another with an image background. I covered the image with a semi-transparent rectangle.

Tip: Once you have this technique down, you can make unlimited variations. You can change the shapes for the numbers, move them to the right, stagger the rows so they’re not lined up at the left,  and so on. Try out some variations and you’ll have a whole repertoire of numbered lists!

I have another blog post that shows you how to create a different type of numbered list,   “Create a numbered list with shapes” here .

Thank you, Ellen, for this helpful post about creating interesting number lists. I appreciate your time and expertise.

Jay Creighton; sent at 4:25 pm, Pacific, Tuesday, 02/27/2018

Thanks Ellen, this is great. I especially like the shadow on the number shapes, so they look like they stand above the rest of the slide.

Glad you liked it, Craig! I used one of the Image Style Gallery settings on the image on the right and then manually copied the shadow settings to the number shapes.

Thanks Ellen for the great lesson.

This is awesome! Thank you for the step-by-step! It helped me greatly with a presentation I had to put together quickly for an important task.

Glad you found this helpful!

Hi there. Powerpoint 16.28 doesn’t seem to have the ‘replace shape’ option — where you say “click the Format tab, choose Edit Shapes in the Insert Shapes group…”, can’t be done. Is there another way to get to this option? I’ve searched and checked help… Thank you for this great article!

How to use SmartArt to create interesting lists in a PowerPoint presentation

Your email has been sent

PowerPoint’s SmartArt feature offers great return for your time. For instance, you can turn a simple but boring bullet list into a visually pleasing slide in only a few minutes. You supply the text and pictures, choose a reasonable color theme, and let SmartArt do the rest. Now, I’m sure you’ve heard some discouraging comments about SmartArt, but try to keep an open mind. In this article, I’ll show you how to create three interesting slides using SmartArt lists. I believe you’ll find SmartArt can hold its own against the naysayers.

I’m using PowerPoint 2013 on Windows 7, but instructions are (mostly) the same in all three ribbon versions. You can’t use SmartArt in PowerPoint 2003, but you can save the .pptx format to .ppt and run the presentation in PowerPoint 2003. For your convenience, you can download the example .pptx and .ppt files.

SmartArt options are simple templates that supply structure by combining simple objects. We’ll control the text, the pictures, and even change coloring schemes and other format options. First, we’ll display each bullet point in a colored rectangle to create a list. Next, we’ll reduce the number of bullet points in each box and display fewer boxes and attach a picture to each box. Finally, we’ll flip the flow of the second example from vertical to horizontal. You might expect this process to be a lot of work, but it’s quick and easy. You could create each from scratch yourself, but why would you want to work that hard!

A simple list

Figure A shows a simple text box with seven bullet points. You can use a simple list like this if you like; there’s nothing wrong with it.

Give a bit of visual interest to a bullet list.

Or, you can quickly add a little visual interest using SmartArt as follows:

• Copy the bulleted text to the Clipboard by selecting it and pressing [Ctrl]+[C].
• Select or add a new slide and delete any placeholders.
• Click the Insert tab, and then click SmartArt in the Illustrations group.

• Close the Type your text here box.

Now, you have a SmartArt list using the default formats. At this point, you can use almost any formatting option to tweak the results. The content is about owls, so a natural coloring scheme would include shades of green, orange, and brown, which we can apply as follows:

• With the list selected, click the contextual Design tab.
• In the SmartArt Styles group, click Change Colors.
• Select Transparent Gradient Loop – Accent 6 (orange) from the gallery.

Now, let’s change the border color as follows:

• Press [Ctrl]+[A] to select all of the points in the list. (You can see the resulting selection points in Figure F below.)
• Click the contextual Format tab.
• In the Shape Styles group, click Shape Outline.

Now, let’s add a color to the slide’s background as follows:

• Right-click the background and choose Format Background.

You might be wondering if you can animate a SmartArt list. Fortunately, you can. It’s just as easy to animate this list as it is any other bullet list. To illustrate, let’s add a simple animation that displays one bullet at a time, as follows:

• Select the list.
• Click the Animations tab.
• In the Animation group quick gallery, click Appear.

That’s it! Did you expect it to be so easy? During the show, a single click will display each bullet point, one by one.

You could continue formatting. For instance, you might want to reduce the weight of the outline. Or, you might want to change the font color. Remember to select the SmartArt list block and then press [Ctrl]+[A] to select all the bullet points before applying changes, unless of course you want to emphasize individual points.

A vertical list with pictures

Our simple list will get the job done, and it’s more than adequate. SmartArt has more to offer though, so let’s look at a more complex list. It isn’t more complex because it’s more difficult to add. Rather, structurally it’s more complex. Before you do anything else, insert a new slide and delete any placeholders. Next, do the following:

• Click the Insert tab and then click SmartArt in the Illustrations group.
• In the resulting dialog, select Vertical Picture List, and click OK.
• From the Change Colors dialog, click Gradient Loop – Accent 6.
• Use cut and paste or type the bullet points.

• To add a picture, click the icon in the center of a picture placeholder. In PowerPoint 2013, choose From a file, click Browse, and locate the picture file using the Insert Picture dialog. In PowerPoint 2010 and 2007, continue with the Insert Picture dialog. Figure K shows all three picture placeholders after inserting files.
• Right-click the slide’s background, choose Format Background and choose dark green, as you did with the first slide.

Insert pictures in the placeholders.

Don’t worry about the title placeholder in each bullet block. PowerPoint won’t display them during the show. You can delete them, leave them, or fill them with text. You could animate the three bullet blocks as we did earlier with the first list, but we won’t.

A horizontal list with pictures

So far, we’ve turned that simple bullet list into two interesting slides. Let’s try one more SmartArt list; this time, let’s use a horizontal list with pictures. To create the slide shown in Figure L , repeat the steps above with only one exception: in step 2, choose Horizontal Picture list. As before, you could animate these three bullet blocks, but you probably won’t want to.

This time, create a horizontal list.

So far, you’ve seen all three SmartArt lists in Normal view. To see them as a slide show, press [F5]. Figure M , Figure N , and Figure O show the finished product. Remember, the first slide is animated, so you’ll need to click to display each bullet.

The simplest list.

The vertical picture list.

The horizontal picture list.

At this point, you might think of more formatting changes you’d like to make. For instance, you might want to left-align the bullet points in the horizontal list slide. Or, you might want to change the outline color for some or all of the placeholders. Changing fonts might be a consideration. The point is, SmartArt generated the layout and gave you a good headstart!

Claims of murder by SmartArt are greatly exaggerated

Most professional graphic designers will find these techniques amateurish and that’s okay. On the other hand, they’re still good enough for most presentations.

Use your best judgement. Let your audience and your message dictate your choices. Never hesitate to hire a design professional if you need one. If you don’t need that kind of expertise, don’t be afraid to add a little visual interest to your message. SmartArt requires no special skill, but don’t go overboard!

Send me your question about Office

I answer readers’ questions when I can, but there’s no guarantee. When contacting me, be as specific as possible. For example, “Please troubleshoot my workbook and fix what’s wrong” probably won’t get a response, but “Can you tell me why this formula isn’t returning the expected results?” might.

1 to 4 Numbered List Slide Template for PowerPoint

The 1 to 4 Numbered List Slide Template for PowerPoint is a simple, all-purpose template. Designed as an alternative to ordinary bullet-point lists. It can present an idea based on four key points or segments. In business presentations, it can be used to discuss summary key points, agenda, or an item list.

The design of this one-pager template is straightforward. This appendix slide is divided into four equal-sized rectangles. Each rectangle represents a list number. Graphically each rectangle is like a white card with a colored label on one end. The label shows the number and a PowerPoint icon, and the card has a text area to write the details of each list item.

The template is a ready-to-use and can be edited for professional and academic usage. One of the use-cases of the slide is to enlist the steps of concept. Also, it can show 4 different or related ideas on the slide for comparison or discussion. Further, it can prepare a to-do list to present a project plan. The appealing design and color combination gathers the audience’s attention.

The 1 to 4 Numbered List Slide Template for PowerPoint has two background color variations, i.e., white and black backgrounds. On the black background slide, the white cards become more prominent. It is easy to edit; users will download the template and replace the placeholder text with their material. The shape colors, font styles, and placement of PowerPoin objects can be customized accordingly. The template slides are compatible with editing with PowerPoint and Google Slides.

When it comes to presentation software, PowerPoint is arguably the most well known.

Since its debut in 1987, Powerpoint has grown to more than 500 million users and is the force behind an estimated 30 million presentations each day ! 

And whilst some consider PowerPoint to be slightly outdated , many others continue to enjoy the familiarity and ease of use the program is so famous for. It’s also sometimes the only choice if you are at a company that uses the Microsoft suite of tools.

But with widespread appeal comes an issue: with so many PowerPoint presentations out there in the world, how do you make yours stand out?

For truly memorable and attention-grabbing presentation design, you need to step beyond the default themes within PowerPoint itself, and look further afield for inspiration. Luckily a quick search online will deliver you thousands of options, which throws up the next challenge: how do you choose which one is right for you?

To help you out, we’ve rounded up the best of SlidesCarnival and grouped them by industry. From marketing templates to designs suited for educational purposes, these free PowerPoint templates may be just what you’re looking for.

Best PowerPoint Templates for business presentations 

There are a number of considerations to keep in mind when creating a business presentation . First, it needs to look polished and professional. And for this you need a design that conveys real confidence; presenting information in a clean, organized way. 

Secondly, you’ll need a template that can be easily manipulated to fit your business’s brand guidelines. Being able to add your brand logo and company color scheme, for example, is key to any professional presentation . 

And lastly, you’ll want to stay away from any super intense color combinations, fancy fonts or designs that’ll distract from your content. Professionalism is key, and it’s simplicity that will help to communicate that best. 

Finding a template that ticks all those boxes can be tricky, so here’s a shortlist of our favorite PowerPoint business themes:

Free business PowerPoint template with concentric circles

This is a design that has a slightly scientific look thanks to its concentric circles background. You’ll be able to customize it easily, as the color blue can be changed to use the primary color of your brand identity. This theme will fit perfectly into your talk if you’re going to lecture about big data, blockchain or other science & technology topics.

Free corporate PowerPoint template with photos

This is a perfect template for corporate content. The design is sober and professional, but the rounded shapes in the right places make it not too serious. Use your own background photos to support your content and help the storytelling. Use it in a working environment to present the results of a consultancy, explain the business goals or to pitch your next internal project.

Free formal PowerPoint template with yellow frame

Choose this professionally-designed template to create a presentation that effectively communicates your message. Use it in a working environment to make a presentation on business goals, strategy, financials or to pitch your next internal project.

Free minimal and modern PowerPoint template

This is a minimal and modern template for your presentations, designed for business and corporate content. Enjoy the quality of a premium template but completely free, and present your project like a pro.

Best PowerPoint Templates for pitch decks 

Creating a pitch deck can be pretty stressful. Often, a startup’s entire future can depend on just one presentation. And when the stakes are that high, it’s super important you get it right.

Our advice? Keep it simple. Think clean designs, neat fonts and colors schemes that support — not distract — from your key message.

That being said, there’s still space to have some fun! And your audience is much more likely to engage with what you have to say if you build in visual interest. Remember: around 65% of the population are visual learners . So make sure you use a PowerPoint template that includes sleek graphs — to show forecasted growth — as well as dynamic image-based slides to portray your passion, mission and brand values.

Select any of the following templates to build a pitch deck that investors will love:

Free cool PowerPoint Template with diverse people

This professional template has a minimal design with a hint of color and it’s easy to adapt to your brand. But what really makes it stand out are the images of diverse people that are integrated with the slides. This theme has got everything you need to create a trendy presentation about marketing, human resources or an impressive pitch deck.

Free fresh PowerPoint template for startups

The illustrated background of this free presentation template will make your content stand out from the crowd. By changing the single accent color you can adapt it to your brand needs. Great for technology, entrepreneurship or design conferences.

Free modern and dynamic PowerPoint template

Free PowerPoint template with teamwork illustrations

Free simple and professional PowerPoint template

Clean and professional, this design will fit almost any topic. This free presentation template works great for pitch decks that are going to be printed or sent by mail. Use the colorful palette or choose a single color that matches your brand. It looks great either way!

Best PowerPoint templates for education 

You can sum up the best educational presentations in two words: informative and inspiring.

But if you think that ‘informative’ means packed full of text — think again! A pared back design style, with only a handful of words on each chart, can actually support learning much more than an overworked slide with hundreds of words to sift through!

After all, how inspiring is it to sit through slide after slide of dense text?

If you can, try to keep it to 3 or 4 bullet points per slide and use plenty of images to support your lesson plan. What’s more, depending on the age of kids you’re teaching, you may need to use your presentation deck to break up the session and reinvigorate your audience. Including fun, pop quizzes half way through, or visual puzzles to solve, will keep everyone hanging on for more!

We get it though: this all sounds like a lot of hard work, doesn’t it?

And, as a teacher, we’ll guess that you’re pretty strapped for time.

This list of free, ready-made Powerpoint themes will help you create engaging educational presentations in no time:

Free educational PowerPoint template with cute robots

If you want to capture the attention of your audience from minute one… cute robots are the key! Choose from different colorful layouts and robot illustrations to make each slide unique and leave no room for boredom. Present your lessons in a fun way!

Free sketchnotes PowerPoint template for education

Put together an educational presentation in minutes with this easily customizable theme. With its hand drawn school icons and bright colors it will keep the kids attention in your lesson. Use this template in your next class or if you have to make a presentation on education.

Free PowerPoint template with colored pencils

This lively template has a colorful design to make each slide stand out. The colored pencils that appear on each slide make this design perfect to attract the attention of younger children. Besides, change the colors of the theme and see how the colors of the pencils adapt!

Free artsy PowerPoint template with watercolors

Get creative with your presentation using this artsy template. It uses watercolor textures to create bold and vivid slides, while the text content keeps a minimal and clean style. Talk about creativity, art, DIY or craft projects…

Free cute and playful PowerPoint template

This presentation theme has a jolly and cute design, terrific for keeping the attention of a young (very very young) audience. The text bubble conveys an informal style, and with the extra set of children illustrations you can choose the character that’s going to present each slide. It’s great to present in front of kids, with education or diversity related topics, and also suitable for NGOs that work with children.

Free PowerPoint template with whiteboard realistic design

This presentation theme mimics a whiteboard over a table with some other items. It’s a template really fun to use for education presentations, specially for for those who miss the days of the old school.

Best PowerPoint templates for marketing 

There’s a popular saying in marketing: “You need to sell the sizzle, not the sausage.”

Essentially, marketing is all about promoting the emotional hook of a product or service. It’s not so much about what you stand to benefit from being a customer, but how that’ll make you feel.

And the fastest way to create that much needed sizzle? Through evocative design.

This is true whether you’re commissioning new packaging, or producing a sales and marketing presentation deck. The way you box-up your message is almost more important than what you’re actually saying!

Perhaps you’re presenting sales results to a client, or sharing a success story internally with your team. You may even be part of the line-up for an industry conference (in which case you’re looking to attract new partners). No matter what the purpose of your marketing presentation, it needs to look as good as the news it’s delivering.

In practice, modern, sleek designs do a great job. But you’ll also want a template that supports visual aids — like graphs and tables — as well as big, bold imagery or illustrations. Of course, don’t forget to apply your business’s color palette and visual brand language, too.

Bring all of this together, and your presentation will be sizzling in no time! To get you started, these are our favorite free PowerPoint templates for marketing decks:

Free PowerPoint Template for marketing with doodles

Put together a marketing presentation in minutes! There’s an increasing trend of using visual techniques to better convey concepts, so this design mimics the kind of doodles you would draw on a whiteboard. Change the color easily to fit your brand and use the customizable icons and different layouts to highlight your content.

Free digital marketing PowerPoint template

Download this free template to showcase your content like a professional. This design has isometric illustrations on business, marketing and technology topics. Use it in a working environment to present your marketing plan, media strategy or to pitch your next idea.

Free PowerPoint template with triangles pattern

Have a professional presentation ready in minutes with this multipurpose template. This design features a modern pattern of triangles in warm colors (yellow, orange and red). Thanks to the abstract background it will fit almost any topic: business, marketing, advertising, social media…

Free fresh and clean PowerPoint template

Positive, colorful and professional, this template suits a great variety of topics. Works great for presentations that are going to be printed or sent by mail as work documents (slidedocs). Keep the positive and colorful photos, or include your own to match a certain topic. Your audience will be mesmerized with your presentation!

Best PowerPoint templates for medical presentations 

Healthcare professionals have a lot on their plate.

And let’s be honest: if you’re a HCP, you want to save all your brainpower for saving lives — not for choosing your next presentation template! 

So let’s bring this back to basics. A medical powerpoint should be clean, clear, trustworthy and reliable. Of all the industries, this is where you want to say it most straight. What’s the data telling us? Why is that important? What are the next steps?

There’s no need for fancy, over-complicated design work. Simplicity is always key.

Taking this on board, we’ve rounded up a selection of PowerPoint templates that convey trust and professionalism in the medical world. These templates are super streamlined, well-structured and suitably simple, yet are also visually appealing enough to ensure your audience is engaged with the facts they need to know. 

Check out these PowerPoint templates for your next medical presentation , below:
