How to Make Google Slides Look More Engaging and Impactful

Why Does Slide Design Matter?

• Keep your audience engaged

• Enhance comprehension and retention

• Establish credibility and professionalism

• Reinforce key points effectively

1. Use a Clean and Consistent Design

Choose a Professional Template

• Slidesgo

• Slides Carnival

• Canva

Maintain Consistency

• Stick to one or two fonts throughout the presentation.

• Use consistent colors (preferably from your brand palette).

• Ensure uniform text alignment across all slides.

2. Use High-Quality Images and Graphics

• Use high-resolution images from free sources like Unsplash or Pexels.

• Incorporate icons and illustrations instead of long text explanations.

• Use charts and infographics to present data visually (Google Slides has built-in options).

3. Minimize Text, Maximize Visual Impact

• Use bullet points instead of paragraphs.

• Apply the 6x6 rule: No more than 6 bullet points per slide, with 6 words per point.

• Replace text-heavy content with diagrams, graphs, and images.

4. Use Animations and Transitions Wisely

• Use subtle transitions like fade-in or dissolve.

• Avoid excessive animations that make slides appear cluttered.

• Highlight key elements (e.g., appear one by one for emphasis).

5. Leverage Google Slides Add-ons

• Lucidchart for flowcharts and diagrams.

• Slides Toolbox for bulk editing and text formatting.

• MagicSlides AI (alternative to manual design) to auto-generate presentations.
