Take Keynote to new heights with Elevation: a strikingly modern design, built on understated detail and a flexible, ordered framework to create a theme that's sure to make your audience take note.

 

Implied Motion. The Elevation layouts shift the balance of foreground and background from slide to slide, creating a sense of motion that becomes even more pronounced when multiple slides are "bridged" with push or cube transitions.

 

Elevation pushes the Warp Series tenants of aggressive, modern styling forward in a subdued, controlled design while still maintaining a sharp, contemporary edge. Built with a Platform-style framework, which allows for theme-wide customization via simple background changes, the Elevation theme floats a range of slide-spanning, staccato layout regions against a range of subtly detailed, understated backgrounds - brought together into a design that constantly shifts the balance of foreground and background to create a sense of implied motion.

Elevation's high-tech appeal makes it especially well suited for architectural, scientific or high-impact corporate topics - with a range of detail-driven layouts and extras brought together in a design that's equally well-suited for a wide variety of practical applications. The included layouts - from traditional text-oriented slides to single, multiple and slide-spanning photo slides - feature clean, easy-to-read type and bullets on content "panels" that can stand alone or become one long stream of content when multiple slides are brought together in a left/right push or cube transition. The accompanying chart palette subtly echoes the background texture, with a subdued gradient and ridge-texture pattern that reveals more detail as more of the fill is exposed, and slide numbers become a natural, secondary accent on nearly every slide in a style that doesn't divert eyes from your content. You can further extend the basic design with the optional Image Grid Overlays, included in the Supplemental file, to bring a technical feel to stand-alone photos or as a group in your own grid-based mosaic or photo/inset groups - perfect for displaying an overview and details all at once. Even create your own Elevation-themed layouts with the "Blank Stage" masters and simple shape objects - so you can stay "on-style" with the theme and still create the layout that's just right for what you need to present. And with ample header/footer space on every slide, you can add running information - like a presentation name, company name or logo - to every slide without encroaching on your content.

 

 

Precision Imagery. The Elevation theme features a range of photo layout options - including both stand-alone and multi-slide"Connecting" photo masters - that can be extended with the optional Image Grid Overlays to bring a technical feel to nearly any type of imagery.

The Slides

Along with the standard general-purpose slides included in each Keynote theme, Elevation also includes 17 additional master slides - a mix of photo and alternate text layouts - each one a Platform-style slide so you can customize the look and feel on a single slide or throughout your entire presentation. Each slide features a slightly different background and content-area design specific to the slide - understated detail that ensures your audience is taking no detail for granted. Or, create layouts that meet your specific needs with the "Blank Stage" masters and content panel guides - giving you nearly unlimited flexibility and control.

 

Get on the Grid. The Supplemental file includes 3 styles of the unique Image Grid Overlays - allowing you to create precisely aligned custom multi-image mosaics or inset photography layouts all your own via the Mask tool and a bit of creativity.

 

Supplemental Material

We've also included a Supplemental Materials file, which includes the Elevation chart fills and palette, three styles of buttons for use in interactive presentations, Accent Arrow objects and pre-sized Accent Type objects, "Light" background variations, as well as a customization primer for making your own modifications to the existing layouts or creating your own using the "Blank Stage" masters. The Supplemental file also includes three sizes of the unique Image Grid Overlays, along with guidelines for creating your own eye-grabbing Image Grid mosaics or image insets with a handful of images and Keynote's Masking tool. The Image Grid overlays add a technical feel to stand-alone photography in a single step, and opens the door to master/detail image sets - such as an external elevation rendering with inset interior renders for an architectural presentation, or a perspective render with inset detail renders for an industrial design showcase - that are a natural extension of the surrounding style and allow for sophisticated, single-slide builds without adding clutter to the overall design of your slides. Thanks to Keynote's Masking tool, the Image Grid Overlays make it easy to craft your own "style within a style" and combine your imagery creatively to make your presentation even more of a memorable event.

Only With Keynote

Only Keynote gives you the power to create such strikingly modernist-styled presentations with absolute 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 unique Image Grid Overlays so functional, Keynote provides you with the tools you need to present richly-detailed, attention-getting presentations with unprecedented ease. And thanks to the Platform-based design, you can transform an Elevation presentation from its understated foundation into an explosive photo or motion-graphic driven presentation in your own style with drag & drop simplicity - looking good every step of the way. Keynote makes it a snap, and Elevation makes sure your audience never misses a beat.

 

Revealing Numbers. The Warp Series: Elevation charts subtly echo the background texture, with extended gradient + pattern fills that reveal more detail as your numbers grow.
