Launch your own self-customized Keynote theme from Platform - a theme designed from the ground up to be the easiest + fastest way to make a presentation entirely your own.

Quick Change Artist.
Every slide in Platform is a photo master - so changing the entire tone of the presentation is as simple as changing the background color, gradient or photo. The Platform layouts let your style take over in classic simplicity.

Taking cues from our Palo Alto theme, Platform is designed with end-user customization in mind. Based on extensive end-user feedback, we set out to design a theme that would allow user customization with little more than a background color change - enabling a world of options and stellar results for even novice Keynote users. What we ended up with is Platform - a true chameleon of a Keynote theme - that can stand on its own in its native colors or quickly adapt to its surroundings in the blink of an eye.

Every detail has been approached with ease-of-use in mind, resulting in a click-to-modify approach to theme customization. Every slide in Platform is a "photo master," with layouts floating above a user-modifiable background - so you can change the look of a slide simply by changing the background color, gradient or photo. Classic layouts, attention-getting chart fills and subtle shadow all come together to build a classic look all on its own, or provide you with the foundation to push it even further.

The Slides

Along with the standard general-purpose slides included in each Keynote theme, Platform also includes 10 additional master slides - a mix of photo and alternate text layouts. The Platform layouts are all designed with an eye toward neutrality - allowing for a wide range of colors and textures to be used with little need for further customizations. The charts are vibrant and modern, with a soft gradient glow adding even more texture to the overall look and feel.

Quick Start Platform.
The Supplemental files include instructions for making your own customizations to the theme in no time flat, along with Photoshop files for making your own custom fills and bullets - even a "Blank Slate" master and user-configurable Platform Panel for creating your own custom layouts - all with click-to-edit ease.

Supplemental Material

We've also included a Supplemental Materials file, which includes both styles of chart fills and bullets, a full range of instructions and tips for making quick + easy customizations to the Platform base, as well as Photoshop 7 files with layer styles in place - so you can bring your own color palette into every aspect of the theme.

For the more adventurous users, we've even added a "custom panel" object - designed to be used in conjunction with the Blank Slate master, you can create your own layouts with drag + drop ease - even opaque panels so even more of your color scheme or photos mesh with the layouts.

Only With Keynote

Only Keynote gives you the power to create stunning customized presentations with such ease. From the razor-sharp text and professional charting capabilities, to the wide range of native graphic format and alpha-channel support that makes the click-to-change theme modification of Platform possible, it's never been so easy to get a truly professional look - all the way down to your corporate colors or favorite photo - with click-to-edit style.

Want to push it even further? Take your background imagery into iMovie to add a slow-pan Ken Burns Effect to bring your backgrounds to life, or wow your audience with full-motion Quicktime backgrounds for an eye-popping broadcast feel that would leave PowerPoint in the dust. Keynote makes it all possible, and Platform enables you to make it your own with unprecedented ease.

Crisp, Professional Charts.
Vivid, modern chart colorations compliment a wide range of alternate colorings - or create your own fills with the included Photoshop files.
