42. Sunflower PowerPoint template
If the blue and white colors in that cityscape template are a little bland for your liking, consider using this bright sunflower one instead.
The bold orange and yellow colors will keep your audience awake and energized, but since it’s also paired with a softer white background, your information won’t get lost in the brightness.
43. The Fisherman PowerPoint template
This fisherman PowerPoint template uses the same strategy as the sunflower one: striking imagery against a white or muted background.

Rather, each compliments the other.

Now, if bright colors are not what you’re looking for, this cool and serene flow design has your name on it.

54. Gold sparkle PowerPoint template
This gold sparkle PowerPoint template is great for creating a simple design that focuses on your information.
Since the “sparkles” in the background are blurred out, the attention is focused solely on your words, not the imagery.
