How to Create a Great PPT Arrow Presentation
Now that you have a template, you'll need to know how to customize it to fit your particular presentation. In this next section, we'll go over a step by step guide on how you can take your template and turn it into a presentation.
For this tutorial, we'll be using the premium template, Arrow Process Infographic. This template is great for all types of presentations.
1. Delete Slides
Before we even begin to edit the template, we need to choose the slides that'll work for our presentation. Go through all the slides and delete the ones that don't pertain to the presentation.
To do this, right click the slide on the left hand side menu. Choose the Delete option.
2. Add Your Text
Now we can go into each of our slides and add in our presentations text. To do this, go into the text placeholders and select all the text. Then paste in the new text.
Do this for each slide. You may find that you've still got too many slides. So, continue to delete the ones you won't use.
3. Edit the Arrows
Once we've got our main text in our slides, it's time to edit the arrow text. This will be like adding text to slides. You'll select the text on the arrow and paste in your own text to replace the default text.
When you add text to your arrows, you may find that you need to adjust the size of the arrow. To change the size of the arrow to accommodate your text's length, simply click and drag the corner of the arrow graphic and resize it.
4. Add Images
We're now ready to put in the finishing touches. Images are an important part of any presentation as they help give your audience something to keep them engaged.
5. Add Animations or Transitions
Before you can call your presentation done, you'll want to add that final bit of professional polish. This means adding in slide animations or transitions.
Slide animations or transitions are a subtle way to add more interest. To add in transitions, click the Transitions tab at the tip of the menu bar. From there, choose the transitions that you want to add to your presentation.
Now, let's look at a few quick tips that you can use to design your arrow PPT slides.

Top 5 Design Trends for Arrow PowerPoint Templates
Staying on top of design trends is important for delivering a high quality presentation. In this section, we'll cover the top design trends for your Arrow PowerPoint templates:1. Use Multiple Colors
When you use arrows in your presentation, use various colors. This adds a great deal of interest to your presentation. Try sticking to four different colors in your presentations color scheme. This will help create a more unified look.
2. Highlight Only Important Information
When you're adding in arrows, don't just add them to add them. Make sure that they're highlighting the important concepts of your presentation. Don't feel that you need to add a ton of arrows for each slide. Be selective and only add arrows that are necessary.
3. Use Other Graphics
In your presentation, you'll want to use more than just arrows. If you only use arrows, your presentation will lose some of its interest. Creating interest is one of the main reasons of using arrows.
4. Stay Consistent
If you're going to use arrows, stay consistent with the types of arrows you use. It's great to use many types of arrows in your presentation, but don't think every slide needs a new type of arrow graphic. Stick to a set of arrows that works for your presentation.
5. Get Creative
When you use arrows in your presentation, they don't have to be boring. You can get creative with your arrows. You can make them three dimensional, distort their appearance, add text to them, and change them in so many other ways.
