The Modern Classic, Evolved.
The MagnetBoard themes have been completely reinvented in the transition to NXT, adding the all-new Aero style alongside a slate of new Keynote 6/7-only enhancements that make it our most flexible version of MagnetBoard yet.

MagnetBoard remains one of our most popular themes to date, consistently delighting our customers with its' flexibility, gripping layouts and DIY spirit. MagnetBoard NXT for Keynote 6.x-9.x - our latest next-generation Keynote theme - expands upon this heritage while staying true to its' roots of appealing, accessible and use-driven design.

A good MagnetBoard is a staple for prototyping, outlining and brainstorming - ideas come to life through the interaction of root concepts and associative space in a process that can be, at times, as chaotic as it is kinetic. With MagnetBoard NXT, we've managed to capture not just the visual dynamics of a MagnetBoard - the raw tactile sense of material and placement - but also the free-flowing, mutable nature of the format that makes it so very appealing to use in the first place. We began with a trio of richly-textured bases - smooth, galvanized steel and distressed, oxidized and perforated metals - showboxing crisp paper and thumb-worn magnets begging to be touched. The core layouts frame a range of whole-page and mixed-element layouts covering all the basics - from photo-driven slides to multi-topic content-driven models - each designed with an eye toward balance and holding focus on your content rather than its surroundings. But the theme really comes to life when you begin working with the Freeform Masters - bare-essential layouts designed to be used with the included Supplemental Objects library to build your own arrangements, layouts and content models on the fly.

What's New? What's NXT.

The MagnetBoard themes have been thoroughly reinvented in the evolution from the original '09 edition to NXT, while retaining the soul and style of the original theme. The core backgrounds, palettes, magnets and slide types have been refined and expanded to give you more choices than ever before, while the entire master-slide library has been overhauled with a less-is-more approach, eschewing dated or retired masters in favor of more focused variations around an expanded range of core content models. And an all-new third theme style - Aero - joins MagnetBoard Classic and Teknik to round out the MagnetBoard options with a sophisticated, understated and professional feel.

The entire MagnetBoard framework has been reenginered from the ground up to take advantage of everything the modern Keynote architecture has to offer. The "On Paper" approach of the original MagnetBoard themes provides a range of traditional layout options, while the new stand-alone photo styles now integrate directly under the pre-placed magnet objects - producing a much more natural, lifelike appearance while providing even greater flexibility for further customization. Uniquely layered Title/Caption elements take advantage of the same layering enhancements in Keynote 6.x-9.x, making it easy to build Freeform-leaning slides right out of-the-box. And each of the MagnetBoard NXT themes are fully optimized for the new Shape, Text and Chart Styles introduced in Keynote 6, so you can customize the principal color and type styles throughout the entire theme to reflect your own style more easily than ever before.

Oldschool Meets Newschool.
The classic "On Paper" style of the original MagnetBoard theme provides a range of traditional layout options, while the new stand-alone photo objects provide even greater flexibility than before, with uniquely layered, Freeform-leaning masters built right in. Go Freeform for even more control, with Supplemental Objects like the Photo Strip and Word Tiles (shown below) that make it easy to extend or accent your own unique layouts.

 

The Slides

The MagnetBoard NXT v1.1 themes now include 44 master slides - a mix of whole-page and mixed-object layouts, along with the Freeform Masters optimized for custom layouts or accent object placement. The core layouts frame a range of general-purpose designs with an eye toward simplicity - crisp type on visibly tactile foundations designed to drive attention toward your content rather than its surroundings. Along with the basic text and photo layouts present in any Keynote 6.x-9.x theme, MagnetBoard NXT includes an expanded selection of content-oriented masters, including Percentage Compare & Contrast, Quotation, Numbered Section Header, multi-column and captioned layout/photo slides. Version 1.1 adds new Agenda, Contents, Welcome Message and Speakers slides to the core themes, along with new foundation styles to enhance and accent the new Element Template Add-Ons. The accompanying chart fills include both warm and cool palettes that allow you to provide additional contrast against the surrounding style.
