Illuminate your brightest ideas with Aurora NXT for Keynote – designed to bring vibrant, colorful clarity to every presentation.

The original Aurora themes were built with simplicity and effortless style in mind. With a nod to the photography phenomenon of Bokeh, Aurora features several layers of focal points within its hand painted backgrounds, creating a vibrant illusion of depth and soft focus on each slide master. Aurora NXT builds on the foundations of the original release with a re-engineered framework, vibrant 4k backgrounds, improved grid and color specifications, along with a host of architectural improvements to propel the Aurora themes into the NXT era.
