Conclusion
It's always good to be different -- and canned slides with Calibri or Arial text over those same template or Theme backgrounds can look so monotonous! Doodleslide is a PowerPoint add-in that enables you to add a human touch by inserting hand-drawn images and organic looking slide templates. The Doodleslide add-in consists a library of around 350 high-resolution doodle images with transparent backgrounds. These are divided into 25 categories. In addition, it also comprises over 50 slide templates that match the look of the doodles. Both these elements: the doodles and the slide templates can be accessed by two buttons that are integrated into the Insert tab of the Ribbon in PowerPoint. You also get an open-source font named ‘Folk’ by Marcelo Magalhães.
Doodleslide is from Doodleslide.com, a company based in Cambridge, UK. You can learn more about Doodleslide from their site(link no longer exists). My contact at Doodleslide.com for this review was Gavin Wedell -- thank you, Gavin.

BackDoodleslide is a great way to add some organic looking content to your slides, and while we love the actual doodles we do wish that the templates were a little better implemented. But we are not complaining -- the doodles themselves are worth the cost!
