So you want to really choose your theme early, maybe create a few slides to see how it’s going to look. If you go and select a different theme, halfway through your presentation or creating your presentation, what you’re going to do is have a lot of cleanup work. Now what I recommend doing is making sure that you choose your theme earlier than later. So each theme is going to have its own slide layouts. Again, take a look at my video on slide layouts on that. And we can go and change or modify these slide layouts. So I have here quote, I have your photo three up, I have here bullets. So when I go up to add slide here, these are all the different slide layouts that this theme has. They’re very powerful and themes, use them heavily.
If you’re not familiar with slide layouts, I recommend you take a look at my video on slide layouts. Each theme has a number of different slide layouts. And from here, I can go and start typing. If we look over on the left, you’re going to see that we have one slides that adds one slide by default. So I’m going to go with photo, I say here, double click. Maybe you don’t want to have it based off of anything, well, then what you’ll do is you’ll go with basic white, or basic black. Now if you want to create just a blank one, you can do that as well. And it’ll create that presentation my presentation based off of that theme. Or what I could do is I could double click on it. All I have to do is just click on it, and then click on Create. So we do have more themes here to choose from. Over on the right you’re going to see I’m looking at my bold themes, it looks like I basically have four themes.īut if we go over to the far right, you can see one peeking out here, what I can do is swipe or just click on this arrow here. And now I’m looking at all of my wide themes here, we do have more themes. If you know that you’re going to be creating a presentation for wide screen, what you’ll want to do is select wide here. So if you know that you’re going to be creating a theme for standard, you want to make sure that you select Standard here first, or vice versa. But if I select this, I can choose Standard as well. And then we have our different themes here on the right, we can choose which size right now I’m looking at my wide themes.
Over on the left we have the different categories. To do that, we just click on File, and then we go over to New, we have a window that opens up. That’s the only way that we can create a presentation is based off of a theme. So I am in Keynote here, and I want to create a new presentation when we create a new presentation, we create it from a theme. Let’s take a look at themes and Keynote on the Mac. We’re also going to look at how we can change a current presentations theme, and how we can save new themes. This includes creating a presentation from a theme pretty simple. In this video, we’re going to take a closer look at how we work with themes, and Keynote on the Mac.
