    PowerPoint template for Fairplay

    PowerPoint template (with instructions) for an event company, designed to allow users to maintain corporate design standards including colors, fonts, and layout.

    As with all my templates, the real work is “under the hood,” at the template level, where you can see all the options users can choose when building new presentations. This file is a PowerPoint Show so you can only see the top-level slides.

    PowerPoint template for large scientific posters

    Argonne Labs needed a poster design they could customize as needed without losing their brand design.

    Samples of Various PowerPoint Projects
    These are some of my favorites from my years of PowerPoint design and editing. What you're seeing is only the surface of slide. My best work happens at the template level, creating master layouts that fit the client's theme and needs. These slides are animated so the thumbnail doesn't do it justice of course. The PowerPoint show demonstrates more of the design. https://www.twine.net/signin…
