15As a color scheme for your presentation, basic black and white will do the job. But when you're in the mood for more color and a vibrant design, go straight to the PowerPoint themes gallery and try out what's there.The picture contrasts the default theme, applied to the slide on the left, with one of many others that are available, applied to the slide on the right.Choosing another theme is no harder than flipping a switch.See also how to put other elements, such as pictures and captions, on your slides. Then learn some alignment tricks to keep everything neatly arranged.15The beauty of themes

16A theme includes these elements, offered as a package: Background design Color scheme Font types and sizes, and Placeholder positions 16Choose a theme

17To find and apply a theme, click the Design tab on the Ribbon.Theme samples: In design tab you will find different themes as in picture.Additional themes: you can see small button next to the themes.Preview: When you point to any theme thumbnail, a preview can be seen in the slide automatically.17Insert pictures and things: 1

19Text boxes are handy when you want to add text somewhere and need another placeholder for it, such as for a picture caption. First, you'd click Text Box on the Insert tab.And then, you'd draw the box on the slide and type in it

The picture shows the array of things available on the tab. A typical thing to insert is a text box. (Note, you can't insert a text box using an icon in a slide layout.)19Edit slide elements

20So, select the picture.Picture Tools appear above the Ribbon. Use options on the Format tab to work with the picture.Once you have inserted a picture, you may want to make adjustments to it, such as resizing, cropping, or changing the brightness.
