PowerPoint
PowerPoint templates have been carefully designed to bring our brand identity to life. The templates allow you to tailor your communications in a visually engaging way, whilst reinforcing the University of Stirling brand.
Third-party fonts - such as FS Maja - are not embedded in a PowerPoint presentation by default. Therefore, if you send it to a colleague or a partner, text might not appear correctly. Please ensure you embed fonts in your presentation before sharing.
Layout
- Remember keep it as simple as possible - less is more
- When possible, adhere to the layouts provided in the template
- Consider which layout is most suitable for your content
- For slides with less text, choose layouts with large images
- Create engagement by using a variety of layouts throughout your presentation
Colour
- Green should be the primary colour
- The Intro slide and the End slide should always be green
- For longer presentations, one or two secondary colours can be used – but green should remain the primary colour
- Please use only the colours in the template
Images
- Where possible lead with one good image rather than lots of smaller images
- Ensure images are high quality
- Images can be used to communicate key USPs or to reinforce a particular message
- For multiple smaller images or logos, ensure that they are a uniform size and aligned
Text
- All text should be clear, concise and easy to read
- Text should act as a prompt for the speaker, briefly summarising the information discussed
- The notes section can be used if the speaker requires more detail Adhere to the fonts used within the template
- Where possible follow the text sizes used in the template
- Ensure that text sizes and styles are consistent throughout
- The minimum text size should be no smaller than the default size of 18pt
- If there is too much text try editing to make it shorter or split content across multiple slides
- Consider breaking up large amounts of text with bullet points, columns or text boxes
