The Big Point. Apply your own large-type accents to add even more depth to the MetroBlue look. With a variety of layouts - from spartan to structured - it's easy to add your own custom touches with very little effort.

 

Bring new levels of focus to your Keynote presentations with MetroBlue - a sophisticated, contemporary theme wrapped in serene layers of chromatic blue and diffuse accents. A unity of sharp, linear design and soft, encompassing color strikes a beautiful balance and yields effective communication.

MetroBlue brings a new level of design sophistication to Keynote. Designed for a wide range of applications, it's a highly adaptive theme for nearly any industry or application - from general business and high-tech to architecture and healthcare - with a sharp, electric design that will grab attention in any venue. In a world of visual overload, MetroBlue is an oasis for the eyes.

Every detail has been approached with ease-of-use in mind, resulting in an ultimately flattering theme that makes you and your material look great with very little effort. Striking type and muted coloration are imposed on a softly lit electric blue background - creating the effect of an internally lit object when used with the Cube transitions (the recommended transition style for this theme). A variety of layout options are available - from spartan Text slides perfect for photo objects, to heavily layered "Alpha Gradient" masters which expand your imagery into the supporting accent colors. It's a snap to use every step of the way - so you can look great and be ready to present in no time.

 

 

Beyond the Box. MetroBlue offers a range of adaptable, contemporary layouts, featuring unique "Alpha Gradient" photo masters which allow your imagery to become an even more integral part of your presentations by breaking the "photo box" metaphor.

The Slides

Along with the standard general-purpose slides included in each Keynote theme, MetroBlue also includes 17 additional slide masters - a mix of both photo layouts and additional specialized text layouts, including unique "Alpha Gradient" masters that allow your imagery to add subtle, semi-translucent accents to other regions of the slide - breaking out of the traditional photo-box approach without having to place custom masking or screening elements yourself. The layouts are clean and contemporary, with crisp bullets and easy-to-see charts, headlines and text.

 

Style in a Hurry. The Supplemental file includes 2 styles of chart fills, an additional bullet style, and "Copy & Paste" style elements for text coloration, shadows and accents.

 

Supplemental Material

We've also included a Supplemental Materials file, which includes both styles of chart fills for easy "Copy Style" operations and an additional bullet style, along with instructions and reference objects for applying the MetroBlue text color style, shadow styles, and screened text accents.

Only With Keynote

Only Keynote gives you the power to create striking presentations with such ease. From complex alpha masking that allows you to use a single image to add accent to an entire layout, to the razor-sharp type and robust charting that make your audience take notice - it's never been easier to create a presentation that blows the business world away. Or take it even further by adding full-motion Quicktime elements behind the Alpha Gradient masters for an eye-popping broadcast feel that will leave your audience speechless. Keynote makes it easy, and MetroBlue makes it look simply amazing.

 

Sophisticated and Contemporary. The MetroBlue chart fills feature subtle gradient accents, shaping each section of the chart into an illusion of light and shadow. The end result is both claming and strikingly modern.

Requirements

MetroBlue requires Keynote 1.0 or higher, and the Hoefler Text font face. If using with Keynote 1.0, we highly recommend applying the Keynote 1.1 Update (available via Software Update).
