Challenge Overview
Need a master template (.potx) which covers everything, including
- Cover slide
- Standard bullet slide
- Standard chart slides (Bar chart, table, and pie chart designs, agendas, different formats, etc)
- Contains "CloudSpokes" feel. Doesn't need to mimic any color schemes on CloudSpokes.com, but ideally would have it's own look and feel that speaks: "CloudSpokes"
See the attachment for an .eps file of the CloudSpokes logo, as well as a .png version.
You can find some great sample templates here.
The closest thing you'll find to the "CloudSpokes" font in the logo is likely Helvetica.
We will be judging the submissions based on some simple criteria, and as a design challenge this will be partly a subjective excercise:
Polish to the design
You know good design when you see it - and you don't often see "good design" on a��PowerPoint template. Most stock PointPoint templates are extremely plain and boring - we want something that's a bit more eye-catching and refined, while not so dominating that the presentation itself is overshadowed.
Ease-of-use
How "useful" is the template? If the template is beautiful, but features dark text over a darker image (and is therefore hard to read) then it really won't work well. Beautiful design, while also being easy-to-use, is required. Another example - if the stored tables and charts have an underlying excel file so they're easy to adjust, that would be grand).
Completeness
Would like to see a cohesive approach that contains the varying slide layouts one would expect in a full presentation.
