A lot of our design is developing PowerPoint templates. Often, we are working within a corporate style guide that directs the colors, font and overall styling, and the biggest effort is effectively setting up PowerPoint to adhere to those guidelines in presentation design. On other projects, we are creating the look and a style guide through the template options selected.
I found this online overview of Google’s brand style guide, which is very interesting, has some great before and after design items and goes to show that every company should have visual branding rules (aka a style guide).
Full article and style guide samples is here.

At the beginning of last year, Microsoft posted a series of PowerPoint 2013 slides and templates that TLC Creative Services, Inc. developed (for Microsoft Office.com). These were the items referenced in the previous blog post that many emailed and asked about.
There are a lot of templates and sample slides available at Office.com. Just go here and search in the Templates and then PowerPoint.
Here is a direct link to PowerPoint slides and videos with templates, many were created here at TLC Creative Services, and all are free to download and use!

We completed a project recently that involved the University of Minnesota. As part of the presentation project, we developed a great UofM themed template. Because all of the content is clear for distribution, I thought it would be good to make the full template available here.
The template is native to PPT 2010 (.pptx), 4×3 aspect ratio, and has all of the PowerPoint presets customized. Let us know if the template is useful to you!

“Building PowerPoint Templates – step by step with the experts” is one of the best resources available for anyone that creates PowerPoint templates (based on PPT 2007/2010). Outside of a small group of professional designers, and some of the developers at Microsoft, it would be difficult to find this information condensed into a single place. The authors are good friends, Microsoft MVPs for PowerPoint and two designers that I trust to know the real how-to’s, and why, of developing PowerPoint templates.
It can be found here at Amazon.com.

TLC Creative Services develops a lot of PowerPoint templates each year. Most templates begin with developing a series of concepts which are refined to meet each client/project needs. Here is an example of a recent project and 3 initial concepts developed (client chose the top option with some revision requests).
