Backgrounds are the foundation for creating an engaging presentation<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A great background can elevate your visual content and help it reach millions of people. But a bad background will make the whole project fall apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is especially true when it comes to presentation backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the time, the reader is only going to see the background image once. But with presentations, it’s a whole different story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on how long your presentation is, that background could be seen 25, 50 or even 100 times!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, according to a recent <\/span>presentation design statistics study<\/span><\/a> we did, the majority of keynote speakers said their biggest challenge was formatting their slides to keep readers engaged.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So you need to pick something that won\u2019t distract or bore your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes that\u2019s a very tricky line to walk, but fear not–I have a ton of experience picking the perfect presentation background!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve rounded up 15 great presentation templates<\/a> to help you pick the ideal background for your presentation.<\/strong> Keep reading to learn how you can pick the perfect background and ace your next presentation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a huge fan of using mockups in my content and design work.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These mockups are extremely useful because you can instantly place the reader in your shoes. Readers will see a computer screen, <\/span>flyer<\/span><\/a> or another object like it\u2019s sitting right in front of them.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This presentation background example is a simple mockup that almost anyone can use. It would work perfectly as a business background<\/a> for many purposes beyond presentations too. Check out how the designer used it in the title slide below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
