The key to make them look pretty is stop viewing them as text, but rather see each bullet as a slide object.

Some design ideas on how to avoid bullets

1. Control the flow of your content by using simple animation.
2. Reduce the text to a few key words instead of a whole sentence.
3. Don’t actually arrange your bullets in a list: use a grid format instead.
4. You can go one step further and not use any text at all!

Takeaway. Bullet points remain important for presentations since, when used correctly, they have a number of benefits for the audience. Using bullet points is a good way to create a balance between the visual and text elements of your PowerPoint presentation.

Simply right click on the blank slide, click Format Background and further select the Picture or Texture Fill radio button. Bullet points on the same textured background do not look ugly, because of the vibrant slide canvas. You can make the points more visually appealing by alternating them left and right.

Three Creative Ways of Presenting a List. The general idea is to replace each item in bullet point by visually more attractive design. Below we propose several different shapes you can consider. I suggest using shape type and colors that fit the most your brand or graphical style you use in your marketing materials.

1. Use some light background colour to make them appear equal in size to the eye.
2. Spread them out big over the entire page.
3. Use as little words as you can, but use enough words not to sound generic.

Simple and minimal rules over all.

1. Choose a Context-Appropriate Typeface.
2. Use Standard Font Size and Color.
3. Use Standard Page Size and Margins.
4. Align Paragraphs to the Left.
5. Indent the First Lines of Paragraphs.
6. Place Images Between Paragraphs.
7. Choose Context-Appropriate Line Spacing.
8. Break Up Text With Headings and Lists.
