Linguistic Underpinnings

I’m searching for a few good ideas for creating a minimal Power Point theme. Minimal is tough I think in this case: you need consistency and you need t0 stay the hell out of the way of your content.   I’m focusing on looking at layout/ color scheme/ and block elements that flatter the content and leave room for titles and graphs.

A couple good looking themes from Biz It.  They like their stacked texts.

Pros:  simple look and I dig the fonts and texture (added in back by using a photograph of natural papers).

Cons: The “prev” and “next” buttons at the bottom feel  like an assumption that this ppt. is to be viewed without a presenter. Guess it’s easy enough to scrape off after buying?   There’s no dynamic use of a logo or image here, nothing becomes a water mark or makes it into the theme in any big way: that’s up to the buyer to build in.

Below, Our Services theme with teal high fiber paper background, and The Future theme with black tar paper background. And last but not least, the Corporate theme: light gray, logo goes here, content goes here, title thrown at far right.
