Currently the provided presentation (Argument for Cloud – Oct 2013) is not consistent with other Appirio presentations, so we are looking for Design Studio to quickly clean up/make this presentation first class (the best!) with all the other presentations. We have attached additional internal presentation references to help you. Focus on the items we are looking for and making the overall presentation sharp and well organized.
Required Changes:
Argument for Cloud – Oct 2013 is the presentation to be redesigned. Following are the changes to be done to the presentation:
General Changes (All Slides):
- Follow the layouts, Page titles and formatting from the attached references. (look to make things consistent)
- Follow the font styles and colors from the references.
- Use your skills to organize the slide contents within each of the slide by making proper use of white space; we are looking for better ideas and solutions here.
- Feel free to create graphics/icons wherever you think it’s necessary (Please see below for more information on this).
- Images (screenshots) need to be consistent, they should have proper resolution – so they are clearly visible.
- Animations: We need to make sure animations are consistent across all slides. Do not change the content or order of the current animations. Feel free to improve the images / fonts used in the animations.
UPDATE: IMPORTANT
- For all Logo Placeholders, please use PPT picture placeholders/boxes - so we can replace it with the exact logo later.
- For all Stockart Placeholders, please find/use better stock art in place of the existing (make sure it matches the content/theme etc...) and make sure to declare them while submitting. We are hoping to have better/sharper/more impressive images and graphics
Slide 1:
- Please use a "stock art" as a full-width background, please make sure they are less pixelated (Image should be based on the quote).
- We need to make sure this page is using the full width and height of the slide.
- The "Quote" shown needs to be designed/presented in a better way – looking for your ideas here
Slide 5, 6, 27, 28, 29, 34:
- We are looking to redesign the graphics shown in these slides, please come up with better illustration of these images.
Slide 7:
- Please use a better stock art here and make sure that allows us to use a logo on it (do not use the logo provided instead use a logo placeholder that we can easily replace)
- Currently we think the logo doesn’t go well with the main layout background.
- Shows us your ideas here – also look into the references to make sure it’s consistent.
Slide 8, 9, 25, 46, 47, 48:
- For all Logo Placeholders, please use PPT picture placeholders/boxes - so we can easily replace it with the exact logo.

Slide 30 & 51:
