KeynotePro / Keynote Themes / Helix (NXT)

Create a space for clear, captivating communication with the all-new Helix Theme & Template System for Keynote 10 – where a pop of color & bold, modern type bring it all into focus.

Our new Helix theme system was designed from the ground up to be a reassuringly calm force within the storm of online meetings & information overload. Bold, modern type and a twist of color frame a distinctive, uniquely-adaptive editorial grid that's designed to maximize clarity and minimize distraction. The balance of color, space, and crisp, geometric type thrust your photos and narrative content to center stage while maintaining unity, order, and cohesiveness throughout your entire presentation. Photo-layout masters feature the signature full-bleed style, along with a mix of layered and inset-image layouts, giving you a wide range of options for media placement that can blend with - or stand apart from - the surrounding content.

The included layouts – from traditional and conversational content slides to photo-driven editorial layout styles – feature crisp, bold type set in an intuitive, multi-tier hierarchy that creates a clear order & flow. Inline Eyebrow/Capline styles let you add additional emphasis to key title elements with a uniquely responsive flair. The accompanying chart styles include a pair of Light / Dark mono-step palettes, along with a tonal Neutral option perfect for making callout/contrast charts. Supplemental Materials are built directly into the theme file, making it a snap to reference color or style information at any time during the authoring process. And the entire Helix framework is optimized for everything the modern Keynote architecture offers, including a a full suite of color, type and table styles that make it a snap to tailor your presentation to your individual taste with absolute consistency.

The Slides

The Helix themes includes 54 core master slides — a mix of traditional, editorial & image-driven layouts in the signature Helix style framework. Along with the basic content layouts present in any Keynote 10+ theme, Helix also includes an expanded selection of general-purpose, conversation-oriented masters, including Percentage Compare & Contrast, Comparison Matrices, Quotation, True or False, and Bio and Agenda slides, along with multiple styles of image layout styles offering you tremendous flexibility from the start. Supplemental Materials are integrated directly into the theme, making it a snap to reference color chips and formatting tips at any time during the authoring process, whether you're on desktop or mobile. And the accompanying chart fills pop with a crisp, colorful style - including a pair of Wide / Narrow Spectrum palettes, along with a tonal Greyscale style perfect for Callout/Contrast charts.

The Big Picture: Helix HD

Helix HD, available in the Pro Edition, expands the style into HD format with aspect-optimized widescreen versions of the Helix themes, so you can take advantage of the clean simplicity of an iMac, a Mac-driven Cinema Display, or an HD Monitor or Projector as target presentation platforms without the "dead space" associated with running traditional 4:3 presentations on an HD display.  Whether attached to an HD display or projecting to an HD-equipped room, your presentation will take full advantage of every inch, custom-tailored to intelligently adapt the Helix aesthetic to the larger footprint of HD.

Take it on the Run

Can't imagine leaving your favorite portable device out of your work-flow? The Helix themes are fully compatible with Keynote for iOS and iCloud, so you can transfer a presentation using the Helix themes to your iPad, iPhone or iCloud Drive for playback or editing with no updates or special workarounds required. And Helix is iOS Direct-Install enabled, so you can install the Helix themes directly onto your mobile device from your KeynotePro Account to author new presentations on the go.
