I am trying to create power point presentations that are aesthetically pleasing and eye catching. I now have only a couple of design options when I open up my design tab at the top of the page when previously I had multiple templates design slides with various colours / patterns. Does anyone know why this may have disappeared and how to access the numerous templates.
Much appreciated

Anna seems to be confusing Design Themes with Designer.
Look at this post where Jim who knows more about Macs than me concludes it's a recent bug.

Sorry for the trouble this might have caused. There could be a few reasons why your PowerPoint design options have disappeared, but here are some common ones:
You might be using an older version of PowerPoint that doesn't have the latest design templates. In this case, you might need to update your version of PowerPoint to access the newest templates.

I hope this helps ;-), let me know if this is contrary to what you need, I would still be helpful to answer more of your questions.
