Step 2: Set background and add shape to show text.

string ImageFile = @" bg.png";
RectangleF rect = new RectangleF(0, 0, presentation.SlideSize.Size.Width, presentation.SlideSize.Size.Height);
presentation.Slides[i].Shapes.AppendEmbedImage(ShapeType.Rectangle, ImageFile, rect);
presentation.Slides[i].Shapes[0].Line.FillFormat.SolidFillColor.Color = Color.FloralWhite;
//append new shape  
IAutoShape shape = presentation.Slides[0].Shapes.AppendShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, new RectangleF(50, 150, 600, 200));

Step 3: Save the PPT document.

presentation.SaveToFile("slide.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2010);
