PowerPoint: Create cover page - the best ideas

Your cover page in PowerPoint should be visually appealing, but also contain key information about the presentation. We give you tips on how to combine both aspects.

The most important information - create a cover page in PowerPoint

• Before you start designing, you need to consider what information you want or need to provide.
• In addition to the name of the presentation, you should also include your own name so your audience knows who created and holds the presentation.
• In principle, all other information is optional. Orientate yourself to the given standards of the school, university or job.

Create the design cover page in PowerPoint

• The main purpose of your cover page is to arouse curiosity and attract attention. A meaningful image as a background is particularly suitable for this purpose.
• The title of the presentation should be large enough and legible on the cover page. You can put your name and other information in smaller letters in the upper left corner.
• In general, the design depends on how serious your lecture should be. In informal situations, don't be afraid of bright colors and pictures. In university circles or when presenting to strangers, you should be more discreet and professional.
