Hello. Welcome to the second part of the course which is about designing templates. Stuff like fonts, colors, backgrounds, this kind of stuff. As far as I'm concerned decisions you make about your template are the most important decision you're making design wise. So please pay close attention. This has to do mostly with PowerPoint or Keynote templates. If you work with Prezi, well, Prezi templates are very different. I will be mostly talking about PowerPoint or Keynote but still I think you have a lot to learn as far as colors and fonts are concerned. I understand that you could be in either of the three situations. Either you can work for a gigantic corporation which forces its approved template on you and in that case all you can do in this situation is to understand how templates work and maybe you will need this information at some of your future assignments. But most of you, I think, are in a situation where you have a template which is flexible which you can modify. And I will be encouraging you to modify your template. I think in my experience, at least, no template is perfect. And you can actually gain a lot of free space by, you know, removing some of the elements. Typically it's about removing some of the elements from your template. Finally, an ideal situation for me when you have no template and when you have to create your own template so you can do anything you want. And, well, well, this is the situation I'm assuming most of you are in. This course is for creators, for modifiers. But for those of you who work for a government agency or for a corporation, I have to say that your corporate identity is not your template. Your corporate identity has like three main [inaudible] , staples. These are the logo that you have to use. You can not modify your logo. A typeface or maybe a couple of typefaces that, once again, you have to use and you can not use any other typefaces and colors. A certain color palette that, once again, you have to use. But the rest is changeable. The rest is malleable. You can modify templates like you can modify, I don't know, the design of your business cards sometimes. And I think we all agree that doing the job is not the same as following the rules. So if you need to modify your template in order to do the job better, in my experience, people are, I mean the audience will be very accepting. Sometimes I see people get criticized for modifying the template, he dared to modify the template. But this happens only in the situations where the presentation itself was bad. We say, oh, this is the worst presentation ever and also he modified the sacred template. I never hear, oh, this was the greatest presentation ever but he modified the template. Oh my god, what did he do. This never happens. So go ahead and well, at least have a look at the template that you already have or that you plan to work with in PowerPoint. This is new tab and then slide master and in Keynote its new menu and then edit master slides. Go have a look.
