The Oliva Template by SlidesCarnival (Reviewed)

By Camille Holden1 min readJanuary 2, 2019

The Olivia template by Slides Carnival is a bright and fun template that allows you to showcase your brand colors well, especially if you have an existing color scheme.

We also like that its design is centered around icons, rather than pictures, keeping it flexible and sleek at the same time.

This means that the template can easily be used to create a wide range of different presentations from it, whether you are using Microsoft PowerPoint or Google Slides.

Warning: Keep in mind that this template was not created using the PowerPoint Slide Master, so it’s technically what we call a fake PowerPoint template and should be used more as inspiration for slide design, or for one-off presentations.

If you are looking for a template that you and your team can use, we recommend investing in a more professional PowerPoint template like the Reem template by SlideCow or the Unleash template by inspiradesign.

How to best use the Oliva template

We recommend you use this template for presentations used in small settings, such as webinars, or in larger live presentations.

That’s because the slides are fairly sparse and minimalist and it will be hard to fit a lot of content onto the slides without ruining the layout.
