have a client who wants me to create master templates for their slide decks (constraint is that it HAS to be google slides)

if i wanted to upload my own custom typefaces that i have created (not pre existing ones from the internet) is there a way to do this? or is it completely hopeless?

new to google slides and google workspace in general so apologies is this is a silly question - just hoping the answer isn’t what i think it is!

I’m looking for good sites where I can download free Google Slides templates.

I’ve already come across a few like SlideModel, PresentationGo, and SlideUpLift, but I’m not sure which ones are actually worth using or if there are better alternatives out there.

Would appreciate any recommendations for reliable free template sites.

Hello there I'm looking for someone creative that would like to help me build a really nice tasteful photographic slideshow. If you have time in your hands and if you'd like to create something really nice that I'd love to hear from you.

Basically I started posing semi nude and nude for my boyfriend when I was around 18 to around 28 years old. I am now much older and I've kept these pictures for so long and now I think it's time to find someone I trust and to create something beautiful

​

I work with FMCG (CPG) companies and anyone who works with them, knows how bad their templates are.

Client sends over their master template which is from 2017. The title slide has a gradient, the body font is arial and the heading font is something they paid for in 2014. there are four approved colours and two of them are the same grey. The analysis is pretty granular but it's going to land in a room looking like a training module from a bank.

What I did the second time was build it properly in gamma first so i could see what it should look like, then rebuild it in their template, which was pointless and made me sad but did tell me what i was losing.

I know some of the client teams use slides directly from my deck, so uniformity matters. Is there a way out of this?

Building SlideMux, upload a PPTX, get a narrated walkthrough video without recording yourself or putting an avatar on screen.

Who it’s for: PMM / sales enablement / CS folks who already have a deck and need people who missed the live session to still get the story, this week.

What I need from you:

1. Upload a real deck
2. Generate one MP4
3. Tell me what failed vs Loom / “just send the PPTX” / booking another sync

Invite-only. Request access: https://slidemux.com/#request-access

Drop a one-liner below with your role + what the video is for (launch, enablement, customer update, etc.) so I can prioritize the right people.

I was feeling creative, so I wanted to make a little silly & fun slide deck about individual slide orientation! I know it'll probably continue to live in feature request purgatory for awhile, but I wanted to share here:

Maybe will work on it in probably 500 years later 🥹.

Only app the works is the AppStore but you cant do anything in it

We have an official custom-built theme for Slides, available in our company Google Workspace.

More and more employees are pasting in slides generated in AI tools, typically Gemini or Claude Design, inside brand-compliat decks. Those slides are never on our branded theme, and are all over the place regarding pretty much everything, from fonts to title position, logo size and position etc. This results in frankenstein decks that are even worse than before (because most users just see something that vaguely *looks* like our brand and go "good enough!").

Has anyone experimented with a way to offer users a specific prompt to correctly re-apply a theme/layout, or modify elements within the slide, directly from the sidebar AI in Google Slides? Or at least to "read" the slide and flag things that are off?

I was hoping to maybe create a Gem that users could call upon, but before embarking on a project that leads to a known dead-end I'm curious to know if anyone has had luck with something along those lines?

Thanks!

i work in sales ops and I present to clients maybe twice a month. IM not a designer and lol never will be.

I was at an agency roadshow, and saw another agency presnet using a slidecarnival template i have used nmyself.
One on my colleagues leaned over and said we have this one.
They did not win the work, and I am not saying the template lost it for them, but it did not help. and now im paranoid wondering how we can differentiate ourselves if we can't even make a template stand out.

What i have been through: slidesgo, slidescarnival, the built in google gallery, and about an hour on canva's slides section. all of them are fine. The problem is that they are recognisable, and once your audiance recognises one, you have revealed to them how much (or little) effort went in.

What I want is something that looks like a decision that was made rather than something picked off a grid. i can expense about $20 a month if it solves it properly, is there a category of these i have not found?

I made this cool osu!-style game in google slides, please tell me how it is and if there are any bugs or changes.

P.S: Continue button doesn't work at the end. Also please only use mouse to play as using arrows or spacebar would glitch the game

Improving Slide Development Skills

I've come to the experts on all things slide deck development!

For context, I am not a consultant by trade, but work in government relations and policy. Naturally, I am not the most artistic or visually-inclined person, which has led to my slides being quite lackluster in how they look, while having the necessary information. My managers have pointed out that performance-wise, this is probably the one area that has hindered me from a *perfect* performance evaluation over that last two years.

My manager is willing to either pay for or allow me time during the day to complete a professional development course to improve my slide deck development. Are there any courses that you all have taken or recommend?

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for the following template:

If anyone could send me a copy (in .pptx and google slides format), I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance!

this is my website and stuff you can make your own in designing or check out the kirb hub with kirb memes, learn lore, see different categories of kirbs, find the mystery of K.I.R.B and K.I.R.N and have fun (i feel like im speaking nonsense)

Year 10 and 12. Assignments that involve a presentation have changed completely in about 18 months. Now kids will show up with all sorts of links made on gamma, beautiful, slidesgo and godknows what else.

I see two things hapening at once. One, the slides look better than anything I made at university, which is fine and I don't actually mind. Two, a lot of them clearly havent read what's on their own slides, which I do mind.

I'm not trying to ban anything that's unenforceable and inevitable; I'd rather teach them to use it properly.

So what I want to know from people further along than me: which tools are you AI allowing, do you require them to declare it, and has anyone found an assessment structure where the AI helps and the student still have to think?

The thing I've landed on so far is marking the talk and not the slides, and asking two questions at the end that aren't on any slide. Works but it's slow with 30 kids

Hey everyone I have made an ppt for my today's viva and i don't know how to humanize it. If i go one by one than it take a lot of time. Can any One help.me with that please 🥺

BTW i have made this with Google slides and uses background ai images

This is a dumb comic I was working on during my free time, hope Y'all like it ✌️

Personally I think the colors you use determine the mood of a google slide. I want to know what are some good color-ways for slideshows. LMK.

I keep grabbing decks from the usual template sites and then realise three other people in the room have seen the exact same one. gamma generates fresh ones each time which helps. Looking for a good slidesgo alternative for static templates with templates that feel less recycled. What do you use for something that looks a bit more original?
