KeynotePro / Keynote Themes / Umbra (NXT)

Bring every nuance of your message to light with the all-new Umbra for Keynote – where color accents frame a wholly modern foundation of bold type & crisp, structured hierarchy.

Our new Umbra theme system was designed to be an understated workhorse – a modernist blend of crisp, bold type and color contrasts that exudes cool without drawing undue attention away from the subject matter. An eye-catching pop of color accents modernist titles and an adaptive, hierarchal editorial sub-grid that's designed to maximize clarity with a stylish, timeless flair. The balance of color & clean, modern 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 layered style, along with a mix of bleed 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 text-oriented content slides to photo-driven editorial layout styles – are set on an adaptive, multi-tier hierarchal grid that's designed to maximize clarity & minimize distraction. The accompanying chart styles include a pair of Mono / 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 Umbra 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 Umbra themes includes 55 core master slides — a mix of traditional, editorial & image-driven layouts in the signature Umbra style. Along with the basic content and photo layouts present in any Keynote 11.x theme, Umbra also includes an expanded selection of general-purpose content-oriented masters, including Percentage Compare & Contrast, Comparison Matrices, Quotations, Bio and Agenda slides, along with multiple styles of image layouts 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 Mono / Dark Spectrum palettes, along with a tonal Greyscale style perfect for Callout/Contrast charts.

The Big Picture: Umbra HD

Umbra HD, available in the Pro Edition, expands the style into HD format with aspect-optimized widescreen versions of the Umbra 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 Umbra aesthetic to the larger footprint of HD.

The Umbra themes are fully compatible with Keynote for iOS and iCloud, so you can transfer a presentation using the Umbra themes to your iPad, iPhone or iCloud Drive for playback or editing with no updates or special workarounds required.
