Speaking of which, may I hijack this thread in order to ask why we
don't
have a slideshow template that looks like a slideshow template? With
non-white background, colors in general, some graphics/patterns,
thought-out bullet design, etc.?
This template just doesn't look like it means "business". Not business
as in the money-making way, business as in talking about a serious
project with a serious brand. But maybe that's just me...
Speaking only for myself, I avoid templates wherever possible - beyond
using a nice(r) font for text and some styling for slide headers, and
having the logo on the slide master pages (which I don't like mostly), I
don't get any value out of them. I try to avoid bullet points altogether
when writing slides, and if I must, I use them sparingly.
I'm not a Powerpoint/Impress/Prezi/Keynote guru/wizard by any stretch of
the imagination, I try to concentrate on the story/narrative for the
audience, and draft slides around that. Aside from font choices and
background colours, what do people expect from a template?
Thanks,
Dave.
