Last month I received a call from an investment advisory group located in New York city. I was asked to redesign the layout for their PowerPoint presentations and apply it to six upcoming slide shows they had scheduled. The first thing I noticed was the original files weren’t set up using master slide templates. Once I had the master template I designed ready to go, I needed to reapply the slide layouts to all presentations for any future editing. Doing this to all slide shows, which totaled over one hundred slides, added to production time. It is always best to create a PowerPoint template with master slides first which will save time during the production phase. Below is the before and after layouts. Due to privacy issues, the company logo and name have been replaced with a generic stock image.
