To learn more, choose your version of PowerPoint. If we do not have a tutorial for your version of PowerPoint, explore the version closest to the one you use.

Just like superheroes have signature costumes (you wouldn’t mistake Batman for Superman, right?), your slide background signals who you are and what you stand for.

If you’ve tried the first Spirograph tutorial and thought, “Whoa, this is cool!”—well, buckle up. This version is like a sequel with extra sparkle. Same idea, fresh twists. Think of it like baking another batch of cookies—same dough, new shapes, even tastier results.
