If you have a good sense of design, you can create very stylish layouts. However, be careful when using images as backgrounds as it can be messy and difficult to read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Best Practices for Borders in PowerPoint<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When, where, and how should you use borders in\nPowerPoint? This is a good question, which is also difficult to answer. Below I\nlist some things I take into account when using borders in PowerPoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do not use too complex designs<\/strong>. It&#8217;s easy to take your creative freedom too seriously\nand start using frames with too many elements &#8211; don&#8217;t do it. Use simple and\nclean lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Use straight lines<\/strong>. I have seen presentations with borders in all kinds of shapes, often\nit will not be useful if you do not use rectangular shapes. Using an oval shape\nas a border is something I see often. I understand the idea, but it often\ncreates a lot of &#8220;dead space&#8221; that you can&#8217;t use for anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"460\" height=\"243\" src=\"https:\/\/yourslidebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/confusedGIF.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-546\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t let your frame draw attention from the message<\/strong>. Always remember that it is your message that should\nbe at the center. Test your slide on a friend and colleague by asking the\nquestion &#8220;what is the first thing you think of when you see this\nslide?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Use borders sparingly.<\/strong> Okay, now you&#8217;ve just learned how to make borders in PowerPoint, but\ndon&#8217;t overuse this new knowledge. As I wrote in the introduction, it is best to\nuse border for your title slides or in slides with quotes or similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Use soft and warm colors.<\/strong> This is generally the case when building your PowerPoint slides, but keep in mind that a border should just frame your message. The viewer should not really think about it, it should reinforce the focus on your message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion of How to Make a Border in PowerPoint<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many methods of how to make a border in\nPowerPoint. It is usually a good idea to use a border when you want to reinforce\na message or create a beautiful title slide. Furthermore, it is an excellent\nmethod of how to make a flyer in PowerPoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, remember to be restrictive in your use of borders. Don\u2019t over-use borders. Furthermore, it can also take unnecessarily much time for your creation as it actually takes a few minutes to make a nice border in PowerPoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Final Words<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As usual, thank you so much for taking the time to\nread this article.
