16 Graphic Design Trends To Use In Presentation Design

Do you want to give your presentation a new distinctive look this year? In that case, you should know the latest graphic design trends. Surely, following the hype may seem tiresome, but sticking with a standard PowerPoint presentation template will hardly impress the modern audiences, already spoiled by the good design looks everywhere around them.

By investing time in creating a trendier presentation design, you instantly gain several advantages:

• You (as a presenter) and your company are viewed as more progressive. Appearing as an innovator raises your authority profile.
• Your presentation content becomes more memorable. Even the most thrilling information gets forgotten when presented in a bland “wrapper”. But unique, on-point presentation get recalled better time and again.
• You can retain the audience’s’ attention for longer when each new slide looks unique and designed with great attention to details.

Feeling convinced that it’s time to try something new? Here’s our look at the future of graphic design through the context of presentation design.

Font Trends: Best Fonts for PowerPoint Presentations

Trendy colors to use in presentation design.

• Pastel Colors
• Neon Gradients
• Dark Background
• Colorful Gradients and Duotones
• Colorful (Rainbow) Geometry
• Distinctive Retro Aesthetics
• Broken Grid and Asymmetrical Layouts
• Isometric Design
• What’s Your Take on Presentation Design Trends 2019?

Choosing the right font is an art as it can make or break your entire presentation look and feel. Sloppy typography and weird font pairings will immediately put off some of your viewers and undermine your authority. Luckily, there are a lot of font generator tools available online to help you find the perfect font . With the help of a font generator, you can easily create unique fonts and customize your presentations.

Besides, it’s important to remember that not all digital fonts look particularly great in presentations. Some are better suited for posters and other graphics. Our line-up, however, features the best fonts for PowerPoint specifically.

Lydian is a “humanist” sans-serif font. Originally designed back in the 30s for book covers, it has recently re-surged in popularity once again. Apart from the bookstores, you can now see Lydian used in print materials, digital collateral and presentation materials.

2. Nostalgic Vintage Fonts

Hipster design trends remain strong. If you want to give your presentation that cool “old school” vibe without overdoing it, use a few funky vintage fonts for your headings and subtitles. They will instantly make your presentation design more modern, and yet professional.

3. Elaborate Script Fonts

Per Shutterstock , “vintage romantic rococo” aesthetics is one of the rising graphic design trends. Loose, feminine, handwritten and somewhat elaborate scripts are in vogue too. From greeting cards to clothes, wine glasses and digital materials – such typefaces feel more organic and warm than more traditional geometric sans fonts. So if you want to give your deck that less formal look, we have lined up the best handwritten fonts below:

4. High-Contrast Serif Fonts

Retrowave is making a come-back this year in modern graphic design. Think about the 80s aesthetics: bold colors, neon lights, groovy lines and abstract patterns. While getting this style right may require some design skills, you can always “safely” add a funkier font to your slides whenever you want to accentuate some information or make a bigger statement. The fonts we advise to try out are:

• Graphique Pro

If you feel like experimenting with fonts is a bit too complicated, fret not. You can always make your deck more timely and on-point by opting for a trendy graphic design background or a color scheme. Shutterstock identified the following color trends for 2019.

1. UFO Green

Bold and bright, this shade of green combines them seemingly incompatible – the natural and the supernatural. While it may be too “loud” for specific diagram or shape, you can use it as a PowerPoint background to provide an overall vivid hue to a cover or section separator. Use the additional green combination in the palette to create impactful gradients.

2. Plastic Pink

Move on the subtler “millennial pink”. Plastic is now the shade to go. If you want to add some neon graphic design elements (another major design trend 2019), consider painting them in the Plastic Pink color.

3. Proton Purple

And here’s another color trend fueled by the Retrowave and Futuristic design trends. This vibrant shade of purple makes an instant strong impression. Use it add strategic pops of color to your slides, whenever you want to make a big memorable statement.

4. Living Coral

Of course, no color trends list is complete without Pantone’s Color of The Year . In 2019, their choice is another pink-tinted hue. It has a softer golden undertone, making it more pleasant to the eye, yet lively and vibrant at the same time. It’s a perfect choice for a pastel presentation template.

Cool Graphic Design Trends to Use In Presentation Design

Here comes the juiciest part of our design trends outlook. In this section, you can browse the latest graphic design trends and presentation ideas , and learn how to apply them to your PowerPoint presentation design. Let’s start experimenting.

1. Pastel Colors

“Living coral” is one prime color example to consider. Other romantic undertones and softer, sensual colors are in trend as well. Per Shutterstock, this trend will witness a +160% rise in popularity this year, migrating from print and interior design to the category of web design trends 2019.

We’ve lined up several pallets you can use for your presentation color scheme: ( Let Them Eat Cake , Good Friends , Peach Blossoms )

2. Neon Gradients

Futuristic design elements in neon colors are among the hottest design trends in 2019. Neon may be somewhat hard to pull off if you are not a designer, so for starters experiment with using just a few elements, rather than applying this trend to your entire presentation. SlideModel has this funky neon lights powerpoint template elements you can use to light up your presentation.

3. Dark Backgrounds

Dark backdrops are already making a comeback in web design . Apple is arguably the master of pulling off the “white on dark” trick and has been consistently using it to advertise their products including the latest iPhone X.

Dark backgrounds create this luxury, minimalistic vibe and can cast a lasting and memorable impact on your presentation. Additionally, this trend pairs well with the previous one. Neon gradients and vector shapes look particularly appealing on a darker background. Take a look at how we play this out in several PowerPoint presentation templates .

4. colorful gradients and duotones.

“Zine” look is back to the fore yet again this year and gradients are a major part of that look. You can notice that duotone fades and two-color combinations are already actively used in logo and web design. And now the use of color transitions creeps into presentation design. If you want to design a presentation using this trend, browse our newly-made collection of Duotone Gradients PowerPoint Templates .

5. Colorful (Rainbow) Geometry

This trend is another tribute to the 80s and the retrograde trend in design. To look modern, you can now opt for a colorful presentation template. Or if that’s too bold for the occasion, consider adding just a few rainbow elements or shapes to your slides.

Remember: to look hip, you do not need to fully apply a certain design trend or try to mix all the presentation design trends within one slide deck. Be moderate, especially when it comes to colorful elements.

6. Distinctive Retro Aesthetics

You’ve already seen this trend applied in numerous coffee shops, diners and interior designs . Natural colors, wooden floors, Edison bulbs and the “form follows function” overall aesthetics.

To give your presentation that cool mid-century retro flair, apply the next presentation design tips:

• Opt for a natural color palette with a few vivid pops of color.
• Make use of white space and give your design elements plenty of breathing room, esp the colorful shapes/elements.
• Use fun, groovy and expressive illustrations and visuals. SlideModel prepped this excellent collection of retro icons.
• Aim to create a whimsical composition.

And if you are looking for some ready-to-use Retro PowerPoint presentation templates, check out some of our designs.

7. Broken Grid and Asymmetrical Layouts

This type of design is an excellent tool for drawing attention to your key slides and making your delivery more memorable. A broken grid means that your design elements placed a bit chaotically around the page so that the visual grid looks less rigid.

Asymmetrical layouts are among the newer presentation design trends, but it’s surely here to stay. These may be a bit tough to pull off though. For starters, try matching both symmetrical and asymmetrical elements within your PowerPoint design before completing forgoing the grid.

8. Isometric Design

Isometric design elements are now aplenty around the web. If you aim for a futuristic sci-fi aesthetics, use this technique in presentation design as well.

Isometric design is a method of drawing a 3D object in two dimensions. Such illustrations tend to be simple and clean, but offer more depth than the standard flat design. Isometric icons are particularly in vogue as they convey more tactility and warmth. So if you want to spice up your presentation design with some eye-catching elements, consider isometric styles.

What’s Your Take on Presentation Design Trends?

This year re-surged some newer trends in graphic and web design that are now actively applied towards presentation design as well. Surprisingly, this year it’s a mixed bag – with opposite trends (pastel vintage design vs futuristic colorful design) being equally popular.

The best part of this clash? There’s something for everyone now. You can opt for a cleaner, more professional and minimalist look or go bold with vibrant backgrounds or funky fonts and shapes. You now have plenty of graphic design inspiration to apply towards your next presentation!

PowerPoint graphics are a great addition to all PowerPoint presentations no matter what the audience. A Powerpoint simply containing text and bullet points is not going to hold the attention, even with your hot topic content. You run the risk of being dry and dull, and simply put graphics are more visual and therefore more interesting. You know it too if you are happy with your material you feel better and more confident as a speaker. Double plus.

High quality, highly appropriate, thoughtful graphics will enhance any presentation and will be a vital tool in getting your message across, succinctly and memorably. Equally poor quality clip art type graphics, blurry, pointless, and inappropriate images may get you to remember as well, but probably not how you would wish.

Create professional slide layouts with Designer

Designer improves slides for Microsoft 365 subscribers by automatically generating design ideas to choose from.

While you're putting content on a slide, Designer works in the background to match that content to professionally designed layouts.

Get design ideas

The first time you try out Designer, it may ask your permission to get design ideas for you. If you want to use Designer, select Turn on .

To learn more, see the Microsoft Privacy Statement .

Once you've turned on "connected experiences," PowerPoint automatically shows you design ideas when you're creating your slides. Over time PowerPoint learns from your experience using design ideas and shows you design ideas at the appropriate time. 

Scroll through the suggestions in the Designer pane on the right side of the window.

Click to select the design you want, or else close the window. If you select one of the ideas, your slide is changed accordingly.

You can also select another idea from the pane or go back to your original slide design: Press Ctrl+Z to undo a design change you've just selected.

What Designer gives you:

A title-slide photo and a design scheme

When you start a blank presentation and enter words on the slide, Designer recommends high-quality photos that reflect the slide text, plus a design scheme with colors that complement the photograph you choose. All the slides in the presentation will fit together visually.

Professional layouts

Designer detects pictures, charts, or tables on a slide and gives you several suggestions for arranging them in a cohesive, attractive layout.

More visuals, less text

Too much text on your slide? Designer can turn text such as lists, processes, or timelines into an easily readable graphic.

Bulleted lists get suggestions for an icon to accompany each bullet item. If you don't like a suggested icon, just select it and use our on-the-spot replacement button:

Illustrations

Designer watches for key terms and concepts that it has illustrations for, and it shows you those illustrations in various layouts. The Illustrations are from the Microsoft 365 icons library.

Designer and "ink"

(Only for Microsoft 365 subscribers) Designer recognizes when you draw or write with ink, and it incorporates that content into the design ideas it shows you.

Design ideas are only available to Microsoft 365 subscribers

On desktop versions of PowerPoint, only subscribers get design ideas. You can try or buy a subscription here .

On PowerPoint for the web, design ideas are available to everyone.

One Microsoft 365 subscription package doesn't include design ideas: Office 365 Germany Germany .

Turn on the Office connected experiences

To use Designer, make sure that Office "connected experiences" are turned on:

Go to File > Account , and under Account Privacy select Manage Settings .

See Enabling and disabling intelligent services for more information.

An administrator may have turned off Designer

Designer is a feature for Microsoft 365 subscribers, but some organizations turn off the feature. If you have an Microsoft 365 subscription but don't see the Designer button, ask your IT department.

Reinstall Office to get subscriber features

If you've upgraded from Microsoft 365 to an Microsoft 365 subscription, you need to uninstall Microsoft 365 and then reinstall in order to get the subscriber features. See the instructions in these articles:

Uninstall Office from a PC or Uninstall Office 2016 for Mac

Reinstall Microsoft 365

Restart the app to get Designer

Sometimes users find that the first time they start PowerPoint after installing Microsoft 365, the Designer button isn't available. Restarting the app fixes this problem.

If there are no design ideas available for you, a few things might be the cause. First of all:

Make sure you're connected to the Internet. Designer goes online to get its design ideas.

Use a theme that comes with PowerPoint (not a custom theme or one that you've downloaded from elsewhere).

Following are other problems and how to solve them:

No design ideas for slides with pictures

Make sure your slide has either the Title or Title + Content slide layout applied.

Don't use any additional objects or shapes on the same slide as your photo.

Use a maximum of four photos (.jpg, .png, .gif, or .bmp) per slide, and make sure they're larger than 200 x 200 pixels in size.

No design ideas for process-based slides

Make sure your slide has the Title + Content slide layout applied.

Don't use any additional photos, objects, or shapes on the same slide as your process text.

Because Designer is a relatively new service, it is still learning new tricks. If Designer can’t generate high-quality options for you, it won’t show any options at all. We're working hard to be able to generate great design ideas for more varieties of your content.

And of course, if you don’t find Designer useful, you can turn it off by going to File > Options > General , and then clearing the box that says Automatically show me design ideas .

Someone else is editing

No design ideas for slides that have shapes or text boxes.

Designer isn't able to suggest design ideas when a slide has a shape or text box drawn on it. You can have photos and you can have text in a placeholder.

You aren't connected to the internet , or

A single slide isn't selected . This can be the case when multiple slides are selected in the slide thumbnail pane in Normal view, or when the focus in the thumbnail pane is between two slides. It also is the case when the focus is in the Notes pane or you are in Slide Show view rather than Normal view.
