📌 Why this matters
Drawing straight lines transforms your presentations from amateur to professional by creating visual hierarchy and guiding your audience's attention exactly where you want it. You can separate content sections, connect related elements, or build custom diagrams that standard shapes can't achieve. Lines also serve as the foundation for creating custom graphics like organizational charts, timelines, and flowcharts without relying on external design tools. This simple skill gives you precise control over your slide layout and helps maintain consistency across complex presentations.
