For text, I can change the fill color, I can also add text effects, and I can also use word art styles. You can also do a lot of work with images. Let's add this background image onto a new slide. I'm going to add it again, except this time, I'm going to make it much darker and put text over it. I'll insert a new slide. Change to the design ribbon tab, click format background, I'll click picture or texture fill, I'll choose to insert a picture from a file, I'll browse to my assets folder and pick the same photo again.
