PowerPoint Professionals Always Start With a Good Template 

Here at eSlide, we often get projects where limited time is a factor in the production. If you have worked with us, you know we always start with questions about optimizing your template. Beyond good-looking design, we know it's almost as important for every client to have a well functioning template. A template that is setup correctly can save tons of time (and cost). A poorly setup template can lead to deadline disasters. Check out our latest blog entry at www.eSlide.com for some tips on helping you determine if you are working with a good template.

Extreme Makeovers

eSlide Diagnosis

In the "Before" slide above, a client provided content as bullet text in a template that did not have defined element styles. Their request was to improve the overall look of their slides but keep the template close to what was supplied. The deadline was less than 24 hours.

eSlide Results

The "After" slide reveals how eSlide was able to preserve the existing basic template so the new slides would be compatible with other presentations already in circulation. The basic look was enhanced by defining styles for common presentation elements, such as highlight boxes, charts, and graphs. Text content was examined and transformed into a process flow enhanced with some basic icons.

The final result is a slide where the described process is immediately understandable, making the meeting session much more productive.
