Make your case with Proof (+) and (-) for Keynote - a modern, all-purpose take on the timeless metaphor of the creative world's make or break point.

 

Suit Your Mood. Proof (+) and (-) are designed with easy interchangeability in mind. Change the tone of your presentation with a single-click theme change between (+) and (-), light and dark.

 

With origins in the classic look and tone of the trusty Light-Table, Proof (+) and (-) presents a familiar, semi-realistic context your audience will immediately understand. Whether you're an amateur or professional creative, or a business professional with a creative bent, the Proof themes provide you with a focused, stylized springboard for making your case.

For business professionals or casual users, you have a tremendous range of flexibility built around a universal, intuitively understood metaphor that works as well in board rooms as it does in the marketing department. A wide range of crisp, modern layouts and photo options are included in two complete tones - so you can effortlessly switch from light to dark as needed for the lighting or tone of the room. The chart palette is eye-catching and easily readable, and you can even extend the original LightBox metaphor with the use of a Transparency object to project "printed sheet" layouts.

For creative professionals, Proof (+) and (-) provides an easy-to-adapt framework for portfolio presentations, pitches, or working review sessions. The Photo-Masters are built around traditional 35mm Negative frames and the classic look of the Polaroid-style instant photo. You have a lot to work with - from the basic single-image layout to two or three-up layouts and a six-up "proof sheet" layout. A Slide Mount object is available in the Supplemental file for adding yet another style to the mix. Or, you can take those raw elements and create layouts all your own via the Photo-Frame objects and restrained text-oriented layouts. Whether as a stand-alone with a single version, or as a hybrid with both (+) and (-) versions in play, you'll look great no matter what.

 

 

Options Inside & Out. Within the Proof (+) and (-) themes, you've got a wide range of layout options - from minimalist, text only slides or single-photo shots, to a 6-up "Proof Sheet" layout. Or change the one entirely by jumping between (+) and (-) on the fly. Your copy, charts and media look great - no matter which direction you go.

The Slides

Along with the standard general-purpose slides included in each Keynote theme, the Proof Themes also include 12 additional master slides - a mix of photo and alternate text layouts. All 23 Masters are present in both Proof versions, making it easy to change your tone on a whim or mix and match from both versions to build your own hybrid of the two. With a mix of single, 2-up, 3-up and 6-up "proof sheet" layouts, you've got tremendous flexibility for layout built right in. Have something specific in mind that you don't see? Using the photo-objects from the Supplemental file, you can build your own layout, perfectly suited to your own unique needs.

 

Photo Objects. Proof (+) and (-) includes a group of Photo-Frame objects - the Film Negative and Polaroid-style are included, as well as the Slide Mount Object shown above - allowing you to create your own Proof layouts in a snap.

 

Supplemental Material

We've also included a Supplemental Materials file which includes the Proof (+) and (-) palette, film negative and Polaroid-style photo-frame objects, as well as a Slide Mount Object and Printed Transparency Object - so you can build your own customized layouts with Copy + Paste ease, completely suited to your own needs and style. Do you use our PhotoGrafik Pro theme? If so, you've got even more options - the Photo Frames and DIY Photo Object from the PhotoGrafik Pro Supplemental file can be brought into either Proof version for even more variety.

Only With Keynote

Only Keynote gives you the power to create such bold, stylish presentations with such ease. From the razor-sharp text and professional charting capabilities, to the wide range of native graphic format and alpha-channel support that makes the simple Copy + Paste theme customization possible, it's never been so easy to get a truly professional look with click-to-edit style. Want to add more life to your still shots? Drop in some background music to add a little atmosphere, or drop them into iMovie for a little "Ken Burns Effect" and bring in a Quicktime file to replace the image on your slide. It's easy every step of the way, and wrapped in a professional look that'll get you noticed the first time you take the floor.

 

Visibility and Contrast. Proof (+) and (-) includes a highly visible chart palette that stands out equally well on both versions. Even add a Transparency Object from the Supplemental file for a touch of additional realism.

Requirements

Proof (+) and (-) requires Keynote 1.0 or higher, and the Helvetica Neue font face. If using with Keynote 1.0, we highly recommend applying the Keynote 1.1 Update (available via Software Update).
