Templates vs. Backgrounds -
What's the Difference?
| Q. |
What's the difference between
templates and backgrounds? |
| A. |
Templates
are "pre-made" presentation shells. When you apply a template
to your presentation, the
Title Master and Slide Master (text slide or secondary slide)
are already available for you to insert text. The typeface and
font color and size are already set. There is also a print slide
available to be used as an alternate background for
printing. (For how to, see this.)
Backgrounds
are just the .jpg images sold separately from our template
volumes. Users who purchase just the backgrounds should feel
comfortable formatting and designing their presentations from
scratch, including: . Creating title and slide master
pages . Choosing proper placement and size of text .
Selecting the proper typefaces and styles for Headings,
Subheads, and Body copy . Creating their own custom color
palettes, custom bullets, etc. |
