Now let\u2019s talk presentation design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2\">2. Pick a&nbsp;visual motif to use consistently in your presentation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use visuals to pull your presentation design together and make it cohesive. Picking a visual motif will allow you to use consistent visuals throughout your presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A visual motif is a repeated pattern, design, or image. In your presentation design, a motif can take many forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/blog\/infographic-design-the-dos-and-donts-of-color-selection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">infographic color selection<\/a>, one of the simplest approaches is to use a consistent color&nbsp;motif (or color scheme). That could mean using one or two colors for all of your headers, background and borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, this presentation template uses two shades of purple for a modern design:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/presentations\/purple-startup-pitch-deck-50b24447-9e2b-47d8-af4c-43b3d5322840\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2018\/05\/presentation-template-14.png\" alt=\"Product Pitch Deck\" class=\"wp-image-16385\" width=\"640\" height=\"770\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<center><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/presentations\/purple-startup-pitch-deck-50b24447-9e2b-47d8-af4c-43b3d5322840\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n<button class=\"btn-cta\" ><b>EDIT THIS PRESENTATION TEMPLATE<\/b><\/button><\/a><\/center>&nbsp;\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>But combining different colors and patterns can also make for a more interesting design. For example, this presentation template uses a blue stripe motif to link the slides together visually:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/reports\/monthly-sales-report-3a57e0e2-89c1-47d0-9741-538c7ccf5bca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2017\/09\/presentation-templates-5-1.png\" alt=\"Monthly Sales Report Template\" class=\"wp-image-16328\" width=\"640\" height=\"855\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<center><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/reports\/monthly-sales-report-3a57e0e2-89c1-47d0-9741-538c7ccf5bca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n<button class=\"btn-cta\" ><b>EDIT THIS PRESENTATION TEMPLATE<\/b><\/button><\/a><\/center>&nbsp;\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>You could also use a recurring shape or image, like the circle image frames in this presentation template:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/presentations\/nutrition-presentation-fc9e1efc-9e3c-412d-9bcf-df0e234d32cc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2017\/09\/presentation-templates-4-1.png\" alt=\"Nutrition Creative Presentation Template\n\" class=\"wp-image-16327\" width=\"640\" height=\"965\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<center><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/presentations\/nutrition-presentation-fc9e1efc-9e3c-412d-9bcf-df0e234d32cc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n<button class=\"btn-cta\" ><b>EDIT THIS PRESENTATION TEMPLATE<\/b><\/button><\/a><\/center>&nbsp;\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Or you could use a motif that reflects the theme of your presentation. For this presentation, the template uses a recurring cloud motif throughout the presentation to reflect the &#8220;dream&#8221; theme of the brand. This presentation example demonstrates the power of maintaining a consistent theme to reinforce brand image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/presentations\/investor-pitch-deck-8b9b2af8-8788-4206-85c8-62a1d646d3c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2017\/09\/4f678bc0-f1f1-4400-a1d6-1cae31f44ed6.png\" alt=\"Blue Investor Pitch Deck\n\" class=\"wp-image-16331\" width=\"640\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<center><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/presentations\/investor-pitch-deck-8b9b2af8-8788-4206-85c8-62a1d646d3c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n<button class=\"btn-cta\" ><b>EDIT THIS PRESENTATION TEMPLATE<\/b><\/button><\/a><\/center>&nbsp;\n\n\n\n<p>This is a case where starting with a presentation template can really come in handy, because the template will already have a motif.
