First, you will need to go to View and choose Master View to enter the template editing area. From here, you can change the background on any of the existing layouts on the left.

Then, we start finding a good texture or pattern to use as a background for our presentation. A good source to find textures and patterns is SubtleTexture. You can download textures from this resource and then use them as backgrounds in PowerPoint. Learn how to configure the background fill options. Alternatively you can use the pattern fill.

Now, choose the file from your hard disk by clicking File… button. Make sure to check the Tile picture as texture so it will be tiled in the PowerPoint background. Alternatively you can download free tiled PowerPoint template.

For the front area, we can use a shape that will be sent to back so we can write the slide title and content. You can repeat this for other layouts.
