- [Instructor] In this movie we're going to dive in
and really create the structure for our template.
Now that we have all of our theme, fonts and colors
and even textiles to find time
to build out the actual structure.
And we're going to use these three images as our guide
some design comps that were provided to us
or maybe we created them but they're just flats
and we want to use them as the basis
for building out our template.
Now, the first thing I look for
when I'm looking at design comps
and building out templates
is what are the repeating elements?
What are the persistent elements
that are really visible on every slide?
And quickly you can see it's that blue bar, right?
That's one three of these
as well as the structure for the text
and then we have that shaded header background.
For us to this is all a little unique.
So we'll just leave those and use that top part
which is what we'll create for that background.
So, first thing I want to do
is actually get out of this default slide size
and change it to 16 by nine since that's what
these design comps are showing
there we go.
And let's just dive in through the slide master.
So view, slide master
and I'm going to jump up here to the parent
and the first thing I'll do
is just apply the heading style, right?
And you can see how that cascades down
and everything is now aligned to the left, cool.
Let's bring in that image real quick
that we just looked at least one of them
and use that as the guide
for how we set up our initial styles.
So, really what I want is this blue and shaded area
and then I'll use it for the guide for the text.
So you're going to see everything kind of cascade down
a little bit here.
I guess I could minimize that briefly
and let's add a simple rectangle
and we'll just create a couple of graphics
there little quick and bring it to the top.
Cool.
And maybe I just need to resize that a tinge
around to 10
and then with that selected I'm going to copy it
control C, control V and I'll use that
to create the shaded area.
Now, I don't think this shaded areas
one of the colors I can achieve from our color palette
that would probably be the closest it's still little dark.
So what I'll do is I'm going to use the Eyedropper tool.
We normally don't like to use the Eyedropper tool
we don't want to lock anything in
but this is a background it's persistent on every slide.
So I'm going to lock that color in because that's
the color of my client gave me.
And then I'll just make sure both of these
are aligned up here to the top.
So format, align to top.
We better make sure that we're at the same height.
Now it needs to come a little bigger down
and let's see what size we are at.
Yeah 75 or so is probably fine.
So let's bring this rectangle to the back
and that's really all the graphics work we need
to do right here so that just gets us all set up.
And now since I have this title, I'm going to cut
that real quick and open up my master.
I can move the title up here.
Now the one thing you'll notice is I resized
the title see how small it gets
that's because by default text place holders
are set to AutoFit.
And if I right click and choose text box
I should be choosing Do Not Autofit.
If you can't fit your text in or it's too much text
or too little you should create additional layouts.
Don't let your text get resized dynamically like that
because Storyline or PowerPoint or whatever you're
using tells you that's how it should be.
So resize that, I'll probably have to do it to this one
but on the master I just wanted to call
that attention to it as it shrinks
you don't want to see that stuff shrink, okay.
So anything I move up here is not really going to affect
the remaining layouts.
I don't want this layout
and I'm just going to start with this title.
Now this title should update.
Let's make sure home and then
so it's not updating
we go to Heading 2 and then maybe
just needs to be reset.
So let's see if this one also takes effect resize it.
Nope, that's perfect.
So we can be assured that this is going
to remain persistent for us.
Let's add that second placeholder text
the one that we defined as custom
drop that in and from the home tab
we can choose custom
and that will be nicely aligned up top.
Okay, great.
So we have our initial structure in place.
I'm going to remove this slide.
What we'll do going forward
is creating those unique layouts
for each of the content pieces
but at least we now have our structure in place
for our initial template.
