Introducing SmartArt Templates by SlideUplift for PowerPoint Newbies

Every presenter wants to make their presentation slides look visually captivating, but many lack the design abilities to do so. If you are one of them, SmartArt in PowerPoint was built for you.

SmartArt is a PowerPoint tool that indeed allows you to generate visually appealing graphics for your data automatically. Using SmartArt in PowerPoint should require zero design skills. SmartArt has design options for lists, processes, hierarchy, relationships, and a variety of other content kinds.

However, this invaluable tool is not without flaws. The native graphics within SmartArt can quickly become cumbersome to work with fonts and shapes overlapping on each other. Even if you find a way to work through this, the designs can quickly become stale and boring with limited ability to customize. 

In this blog, we will learn about using SmartArt Templates in SlideUpLift that take SmartArt in PowerPoint to another level by offering an even simpler interface and customizability options.

So, without further delay, let us get started!

What is a SmartArt?

First, let’s dive into what SmartArt really is. It is a great way to introduce graphic elements in your presentation by selecting the shapes you would like to work with and then simply typing bullet points in a sidebar. The graphic elements automatically get updated with the text – Microsoft’s goal here was to get the user to think of the content while PowerPoint takes care of the rest. However as soon as the user goes beyond a few bullet points, the flaws are obvious- the shapes distort to meet the textual needs, thus putting the whole idea of simplifying the interface into question.

What are SlideUplift SmartArt Templates?

SlideUpLift SmartArt Templates are designed to take the SmartArt design principle to another level by creating pre-formatted options for the user. Users can select the shapes, and the text requirements upfront and work with the slide all within a few clicks. The slides come templatized and pre-formatted,  ready for the content you plan to populate them with.

The slides are also custom formatted with backgrounds and shape modifications so the user has a lot more variety to pick from.
