I'm going to select title then I'm going to go and make sure that I can align it over here and start to adjust this. But I just want to share with you, these are the basic ones that come whenever you start from scratch. What happens is you need to make sure that you select your text and use one of these styling options for your paragraph styles. Now I have added my text there, and as you can see my subtitle text is pretty large but my title isn't. Then I'll repeat the same process for my title and subtitle text. So I just copy pasted some of my copy and all I need to do is adjust this so that it aligns with my template. So you want to have some just plain copy written that you can use. So we're going to go to the text area here and you see this little itty-bitty text up here. Next, what we're going to do is we're going to add our text over here. It's going to disappear but that's okay 'cause you want to be able to see all these elements as you're building your template. So go to the arrange panel, send it to the back. So what you can do to change the color so it's easier for you to define, go into your style panel under color fill, select a different color, then make sure that this image goes towards the back. Sometimes I like to drag this because it makes it easier. Then what you can do is you can either drag your shape or copy paste, or you can go back into your shape panel to add a new one. You can adjust the color as well so that it's easier for you to tell which color would overlap, as we have some overlap here with the shapes. What we'll do next is that we're actually going to resize all this content to fit what we have in our template. If I drag that, you can see it's just a plain transparent PNG. So I'm actually going to use my introduction slide and I'm going to insert it. I'm going to use the blank slide and what I'm going to do next is I'm going to go into my media and I'm going to import this flat JPEG that I created as my guide. Inside our master slides, and you want to make sure that you are working from your master slides to create your templates. Let me show you how I go about importing a JPEG background and use that as my guide to design my template inside Keynote. If you don't have access to these files, don't worry. I've already made it to where you can actually start adding your own content by using these elements as placeholders. This folder contains this Keynote file that you're seeing right now. In the exercise files for this movie, you will find a folder called master slide template. I've got something that will make this process so much easier for you. If you aren't a designer, you may be feeling uneasy about this part, but don't worry. Now we get to go into the part that I enjoy the most, which is creating the design and content structure. We're going to do a team slide and an individual team member slide. We're going to do a presentation slide, an introduction slide, a key point slide which will replace the bullet points, and I will explain why that is so valuable. We'll start simple and we're going to design five slides to get us started. Let's say our primary goal is to use this slide deck as a client proposal or even to raise brand awareness. Remember how in one of our earlier movies, we defined the goals and template structure we needed for our presentations? Well this is where we apply that plan. Once we have created a blank theme on Keynote, we can start editing our master slides.
