📌 Why this matters
Adding decorative borders transforms plain slides into polished, professional presentations that capture attention and communicate care for detail. Beyond basic aesthetics, borders create visual hierarchy by establishing clear boundaries between content sections and slide backgrounds. This becomes especially valuable when presenting to clients, stakeholders, or audiences where first impressions matter. Borders also solve a common design problem by making text more readable against busy backgrounds, while giving you a consistent visual element to tie multiple slides together into a cohesive presentation theme.
