You've probably seen amazing TED conferences featuring awesome and jaw-dropping videos that make you sit up, and hang on to the speaker's every word. Well, in most conferences, things are rarely that interesting. The presentations most of us have to sit through are more often than not, made up of text and images plastered over a default (sometimes too easily recognizable) Powerpoint theme.
If you're one of those presenters or speakers who really appreciate individuality yet don't have the skills to create your own Powerpoint slide design, this post will be of great help. Here are 20 specially designed Powerpoint templates that have been made available by their designers for free.
You can download them and edit them to your heart's content, and spend more time on your content instead. For most of these templates, the fonts, graphs, charts, tables, icons and maps are included. They are easily editable as well.
