Save your custom layout design as a theme

- [Instructor] Hi I'm Derek Chow…and this week we're continuing to look at ways…to reuse content and design elements…to save time and to bring a consistent look…to your presentations.…I'm here in the presentation gallery in PowerPoint…and I'll just pick one of these templates…to create a new presentation.…After choosing a template for your presentation…you can further customize it…by picking a different theme.…Themes are a predefined set of colors, fonts, and designs…that give your slides a unified, professional look.…Come up to the Design tab…and here you can roll over the different themes…to preview the changes it'll make to your presentation.…

You can see more by clicking the down arrow here…and again rolling over the different themes.…If you find one you think you can work with…just click it and that will be applied…to your presentation.…Now you can also come over here to the Variance section…and select alternative colors and looks…for the selected theme.…We can also click the down arrow here…to select other color combinations.…
