Bring rich detail to Keynote with Barcelona - a study of rough-edged overprint, classic type and rich texture.
Warm, Inviting Tones.
The Barcelona style is a balance of coarse texture and smooth type - antique paper overprinted with loosely trapped ink framing crisp classical layouts. Ink and Coffee Stains from the Supplemental file let you bring a personal touch to any slide.
The latest installment in our print-inspired City Series - Barcelona - departs from the stark, modern approach of our Palo Alto and Oslo themes in favor of a more organic approach. The Barcelona theme is an exploration of classical technique - bringing aged paper and coarse, loosely trapped blockprint color together with crisp type and the timeless icon of world travel - the postcard - into a design that is both raw canvas and a well-worn tome.
While the classic styling of Barcelona makes it a perfect theme for presentations on the Arts or Humanities, the design has been approached with general-purpose use in mind: a wide range of both Text and Photo-oriented slides have been brought together with a meticulous attention to detail that will make your presentations look well-seasoned with minimal effort. Crisp type balances a coarse, organic blockprint-style background thick with minor imperfections and texture. Custom ink-spot bullets, warmly textured chart fills and traveled, crumple-edged postcards overlay the canvas in a timeless blend of style and metaphor that begs the viewer to delve deeper. And with extras like Ink and Coffee Stains, you can add even more texture + life - even create your own spreads with free-floating Postcard Objects. It's easy every step of the way, in the click-to-edit ease Keynote is known for.
The Slides
Along with the standard general-purpose slides included in each Keynote theme, the Barcelona Theme also includes 20 additional master slides - a mix of photo and alternate text layouts - giving you a wide range of options for making your presentation uniquely your own. The "Page Style" masters provide the best of both styles: use the Textbook-style layout as provided, or take advantage of the split between the backing "page" and the ink imprint to screen in your own watermarks, textures or ghosted photos directly into the layout (see Preview Movie for an example). Every piece of the Barcelona theme has been built with a tremendous attention to detail - from the hairlines of run-off ink that divide the regions of the slides and the rough ink-drop bullets to the creased corners of the Postcard mattes and the warm clarity of the textured chart fills. And thanks to the floating Postcard Objects from the Supplemental file, you can even build photo layouts custom-tailored to your own needs with absolute consistency.
A Matter of Minor Details.
The Barcelona theme is lushly textured - with hair-line ink runs and overlays bleeding into the lighter paper backing, a crushed corner crease on the postcards objects - even add coffee-ring stains or ink spills via the Supplemental objects. The layouts have an organic hand-constructed feel while maintaining the structural clarity of a classic textbook or storybook.
Supplemental Material
We've also included a Supplemental Materials file which includes the Barcelona fills and color palette, style guides for using accent text colors and shapes and paste-on ink and coffee stains, as well as a selection of free-floating Postcard Objects so you can create your own photo layouts with ease - even customize the stamp with your own photo, illustration or company logo. Do you use our PhotoGrafik Pro or Proof (+) and (-) themes? If so, you've got even more options - the Photo Frames and DIY Photo Object from the PhotoGrafik Pro Supplemental file or the Photo Negative, Polaroid and Slide Mount objects from the Proof (+) and (-) Supplemental file can be brought into the Barcelona layouts for even more photo-style variety or a scrapbook feel.
Only With Keynote
Only Keynote can deliver the pixel-level detail, alpha-masking support and razor-sharp type that makes a theme like Barcelona possible. From the professional charting capabilities that make your data blend in seamlessly against the surrounding design, to the wide range of native graphic formats supported - making it a snap to build your own postcards with ease - Keynote enables the Barcelona theme to deliver a level of rich textural detail unmatched by anything the PowerPoint world has to offer. Take it even further and bring your photography to life with a touch of Ken Burns effect from iMovie - even incorporate actual Quicktime footage to create moving, dynamic postcard art that will drive your audience wild. Keynote + Barcelona makes it all possible with click-to-edit ease.
Earth-toned Charts.
The Barcelona chart fills are earth-tone complimentary, with texture detailing designed to seamlessly overlay the backing paper texture for an "inked" look.
