How to choose the appropriate PPT background?

Choosing the background color is the first thing to consider when making slides, which is also to better unify the style.

Choose dark background or light background?

If the light in the lecture hall is dim, it is necessary to take photos of the speech, and it is undoubtedly better to choose a dark background, such as Apple's press conference.

If the slide background is shallow, it is difficult to balance the speaker and slide when shooting. If the exposure is based on the speaker, the slide picture will be overexposed and the audience can't see the slide clearly. If the exposure is based on slides, then the speaker will be underexposed and form a dark silhouette, which is obviously unacceptable.

In addition, if the background is too bright to be shown in a dark venue, it will be even more dazzling, and the audience will be tired after watching it for a long time. So whether to choose a dark background or a bright background depends on whether it is necessary to shoot and demonstrate the ambient light at the scene.

Slide backgrounds can be solid colors or gradient colors.

The slides of product launches usually have a dark gradient background, such as Apple's launch and Hammer Technology's launch. If you make slides for people, you can use a solid background and a gradient background, but most of the time you still use a solid background. If you don't grasp the color matching at first, it is safer to use white directly.

Sometimes you can also use pictures as the background.

When making slides, in order to enhance explanatory power and appeal, some pages will cover the whole page with pictures, and then use the pictures as the background layer. However, the whole set of slides should not use the same picture as the background on each page, and should be selected according to the specific content. When choosing a picture, it should be noted that the picture can be abstract, but it can't be irrelevant to the theme.

In addition, it is unreasonable to use geometric figures as the background of each slide.

Typical is the default background of PPT. I don't know why PPT still allows such a background to appear in the software, which greatly reduces people's aesthetics.

There is also the low-polymer style, which may be dazzling at first glance, but it is extremely incorrect. Geometric texture has greatly interfered with the content and should not be used as the background of every slide. In order to achieve the demonstration effect, you can use individual pages appropriately, such as cover pages, and more often you should not use them.

There are many factors to consider when choosing the appropriate slide background, such as the theme of the speech, whether to shoot it, the ambient light at the speech site, the industry attributes and even the preferences of the customer's boss. But if you know the right method, you will avoid some mistakes and make qualified slides.
