Template Guidelines

These are the guidelines for using the company PowerPoint template.

When Using the Template

  1. As a general rule, keep the top red title text to a single row of text.
  2. Avoid using all caps.
  3. The template was designed to allow you to click on elements to edit them but otherwise be left alone. Try to not move any of the boxes (even the invisible text boxes) and your slides will keep that sparkle/polish as you work.
  4. Keep the black sub-title text to one or two rows maximum as demonstrated in the pre-filled template examples.
  5. Always try to type into the template. Pasting content (text for example) into a template can change the formatting of your slide by accident. So when all else fails - type and don't paste!
  6. Current date and slide number are automatic on all slides in the template.
  7. Brand Diamond Marks
    • Words in diamonds should never be more than 3 words
    • Single words in diamonds are generally more effective for viewer retention
  8. Use template font sizes as set in the template (see Tips & Tricks Page for editing text with multiple font sizes)
  9. Bullets will reset to a large size when you have exceeded the number of recommended bullets for a given slide. If this happens undo and keep the previous bullet, for deeper bullets, choose a different layout.
