For those of you who are new to design, creating the desired aesthetic can be a challenge. It may seem like the range is limited to tables and graphics in Microsoft packages, but for a more refreshing twist on how to present professionally, read on.
Canva
Canva is an amazing starting point in making professional-looking documents. While you need to
create an account, the website offers a large range of free designs, tools, stamps, icons and borders to help in picking up the professionalism.
The readily available themes can help you decide on the look and feel of your presentation and since Canva has a lot of flexibility such as setting brand colours, it is still possible to retain a consistent and overall polished look. Think of it as having design pre-sets at the ready. Handy, right?
Have a go at creating your own presentations through the Canva website.
Flaticon and The Noun Project

Draw.io is a free online website that can provide similar visuals that can help achieve your goals. This website provides templates on hierarchical visuals, process maps, and more.
