从择色、选图，到正确使用留白区域，我们将剖析幻灯片设计的每个环节。通览此文之后，你必能设计出属于自己的精美幻灯片，令同事们自叹不如。
A Word About Content
I usually make a big deal about content preceding design, and presentations are no exception. Ideally, you’ll have the topic and much or all of the content outlined before you even think about design. This will in every way shape the appearance of your design, which is why working from pre-built templates isn’t always the best move (though generic templates can and do work great in some circumstances).
概括内容
通常，我会在设计内容导入上下很大功夫，做报告时也是如此。理想情况是，在设计幻灯片之前，你得明晰主题和内容大纲。这会决定幻灯片设计的各方各面，也是为什么选用预制模板并非总是最佳方案的原因（尽管在有些情况下，通用模板效果颇佳）。
The reason that I bring this up is that I don’t really have an actual presentation in mind for this project. I’ll be running with a basic theme, but the textual information will be entirely placeholder copy. Your image, font, color and layout selection shouldn’t necessarily match mine but instead reflect the topic and content you’re working with.
我之所以提起这个是因为对此心中并没有实际的幻灯片方案。我会使用一个基本主题，而文本信息将完全是占位符复制。你选择的图片，字体，颜色以及布局无需和我一致，相反，这些应该反映你所要呈现的主题和内容。
Choosing A Color Scheme
Before I even open Photoshop (yes, I design PowerPoint/Keynote slides in Photoshop and drop them in, thought it helps if you do the te), I want to find a color scheme on which to base my entire design. When I need to quickly find several colors that go together I usually start with Kuler. Not only is it a great way to build your own color schemes, it’s an outstanding source to find schemes built by others that you can just grab for your projects.
