Choosing a Prezi template

Getting ready

When you create a new prezi, the first step is always choosing a template. There is no way to create a prezi without the use of a template.

Prezi offers a wide range of templates with graphics and frames. If you wish to design your prezi from scratch (without any imagery, and only a minimum of frames and placeholders for text), choose the template called "Blank".

How to do it…

Click on the New Prezi icon in the account overview window.
Use the Choose your template window to view the many designs.
Click on More to view the complete collection.
Click on the template you want to use.
Click on Use template to create the prezi.

There is a shortcut to create a blank prezi, the white button to the left of Use template, as shown in the following screenshot:

How it works…

The ready-made templates offer a huge variety, not only in looks, but in structure and content as well. This is because the different templates serve different purposes. Some templates are structured to describe a process, others to support a message about a conflict, and others will be great to illustrate a forward-moving storyline.

The templates offer a variety of color schemes. For some of the templates, you can edit the underlying graphics and the color scheme, for others you cannot. To best support your message, choose colors that will appeal to your audience and match your subject.

In Prezi, the visuals are an integrated part of your message. When you choose a template or edit your design, it is very important that the visuals reflect your message in style and structure.

There's more…

Be aware that using the pre-designed templates in Prezi presents a potential pitfall.

Using the templates that Prezi supplies means using a template that others use too. This creates a risk for identical presentations at a meeting or for someone in your audience having seen that template before.

Starting your prezi based on the blank template (called Blank) gives you the option to create a prezi that is truly unique and that can be customized to fit the design guidelines for your company or organization 100 percent.

Tip

Use the templates to educate yourself on prezi design. Study the color schemes and the use of frames and path in these templates that are created by professional designers. Reuse all the ideas that you like in your own prezis.
