One of the hallmarks of a good Google Slides presentation and good design in general is consistency.
There are a great set of tools to keep your slides consistent, available within Google Slides.
They're called master slides.
Let me show you how they work.
All right, so from the View menu, I'm going to choose View and theme builder.
And this theme builder provides a master slide and a set of layouts.
Now, any change I make to the master slide will cascade onto all the layouts, so make sure any change
that you want to apply to everything is made to the very top theme slide.
So if we want to edit the theme style, it simply says click to edit theme style.
So we'll click.
And let's say, instead of Ariel, I want my main theme font to be open sans.
Bowles now, not only did this change it here on the theme slide, but if we were to look on the individual
layout slides all of those slides are now using for their title style.
The open sans font.
In fact, we can change any of the text here.
I'm going to select all of it.
And again, I'm going to use that open sans.
But this time, instead of bold, I'm going to use Medium.
My change will cascade down to all of the individual layouts that are part of this theme.
I can also change, for example, the font color.
Let's say we wanted a.
Bright orange for our title style.
And you can see, again, that's cascaded to the layouts.
Now if there's anything I want to appear on each and every slide, I can put it here on this theme,
master.
So let's say I wanted to put a logo on this.
I'm going to insert image.
And I happen to have one on my drive here.
And I'm simply going to drag that onto the slide.
I'm going to make it very small and put it in the lower right hand corner.
I think that's about what I want.
Now, again, it's here on the theme slide, but if we look at all the layouts, all the layouts now
have on it that particular logo that I just put in there.
If I want to remove anything, for example, the slide number, I can remove it.
Just like that.
Just click the box and press delete and any other elements I want to add.
So for example, let's say I want a thin orange stripe on the left hand side of each slide.
I can go here to my shapes drawing tools.
Choose the rectangle.
And then create my orange stripe.
I'll add my fill color.
And I'm not going to use any orders, but I will position it exactly on the edge of my slide.
And now every slide has that little bit of orange on the left hand side.
The idea here is to make a single design in your master slide for your theme and then that particular
design cascades onto all of the slides you're going to use as part of your presentation.
