Create an inspiration library
The source of inspiration
Inspiration comes from life, and it is random and accidental, but this inspiration is not imaginary, so it is difficult for us to imagine something we have never seen before.
So is PPT. I haven't studied it, I have seen it less, I have accumulated less, and I naturally lack creativity. It is difficult to make high-quality PPT works by imagination alone.
Daily accumulation, classification and summary are very necessary, so I suggest you create your own inspiration library.
How to do it specifically? Just follow these four steps:
1. Clear purpose
Collect sources
3. Classified storage
4. Update in time
1. Clear purpose
Why build an inspiration library?
First of all, we should make clear the purpose of establishing the inspiration library. Collecting inspiration is not to collect, but to make these materials for your own use when necessary!
The following questions will help you to clarify the purpose of establishing an inspiration library:
① Is it for design reference? ② Or to improve the design efficiency?
③ Can the inspiration library be used for practical operation? (4) If it is not used, is it considered to classify it according to needs and maintain it regularly?
Whether it is the inspiration or resources obtained online, it is fragmented for us. Only by classifying and collecting your own inspiration library can it play a role!

Summary:
The classification method is not fixed. You can classify them according to your own preferences, and think more about how to deal with design problems and how to learn from them conveniently.
4. Update in time
The inspiration library will be updated in time after it is completed.
After the inspiration library is established, you must check it more and update it more!
Reading does not mean knowing, and receiving does not mean mastering. It is necessary to brush more inspiration libraries every day.
Not only can you accumulate inspiration and enhance aesthetic feeling, but you can also add or delete checks in time, eliminate designs that are not helpful to you, constantly update and improve the classification, and be aware of it when using it, and check it while using it.
In addition, share several softwares that are convenient for classified collection to realize cloud storage: Evernote, Eagle, Nut Cloud, OneDrive and Petal Net.
Finally, PPT design is not a one-off event. Students who want to be PPT designers must accumulate more and practice more every day in order to gradually grow into PPT gods ~
