3. Logotype on title slides
 To make sure that your presentations
communicate our brand efficiently,
flag the Steria logotype and name in a
clear and obvious manner, and
especially from the start
 First impressions matter most – take
ownership of the presentation from
the beginning, and feature a large
Steria logo on the title slides

4. Logotype on content slides
 www.steria.no
 On subsequent slides, the main
emphasis should be on the content.
Therefore, a dominant Steria logo
does not appear in the top ribbon
 Instead, the Steria logotype is
included in the bottom right corner
of each slide following the natural
eye flow (top left to bottom right)

6. Typeface
The typeface used for all Steria presentations is Arial
 Arial is a system font available to everyone,
including our employees and clients
 Using this font means that our slides will
look the same regardless of which
computer is being used
 Never use “Arial Unicode MS” in PowerPoint –
when embedded it greatly increases file size
 Arial Narrow may be used within
charts and diagrams in cases
where space is limited

9. The Steria colour palette
 Rather than using a single corporate
colour, our colour palette reflects
the diversity in which we operate
 There are five primary colours
and two secondary colours, in
addition to greys and white

Colour theming
 If you are pulling together a series of presentations for an event, you can
use different colours to provide variation
 See example below
 Tip: Past in slides from a different presentation with a different colour theme
using the Paste /Keep source formatting command
Section change

12. Use colours that complement each other
 For best results use colours that complement each other,
for example Blue, Teal and Green
 Grey works well together with all the colours

15. Special considerations when using projectors
 Avoid the colour yellow – it is problematic for some people and creates
legibility issues
 Have sufficient contrast between text and background
 Avoid combinations such as
 Yellow text on orange background
 Yellow text on green background
 Red text on blue background
 Grey text on any dark colour background

1. Title slide (can be plain or
with image)
4. Table slide

2. Content slide
3. Two content slide
5. Chart slides
6. Small ribbon image slide

19. 1. Title slides
 www.steria.no
 Use the title slide to introduce the presentation – it should establish the
theme of what is to follow
 Ideally, keep the slide title and subheading to one line – never make them
longer than two lines
 Use a photo at the bottom only if it will enhance your message – otherwise
use the plain option
 Use the ‘Title Slide (Background image)’ to ensure your image fits perfectly
14/11/2013
19

20. 2. Content slides
 Avoid running an agenda over
more than one slide
 Instead reduce the number of
bullet points
 When introducing a particular
section, highlight the line in the
agenda by changing it to bold
and the slide colour, ie orange,
blue, green or red
14/11/2013
20
 www.steria.no

21. 3. Text slides
 Text slides may have one or two
columns of text
 Do not use more than ten bullet
points on a slide –
the fewer bullet points
the better
 If a point is especially long, consider
splitting it into two
or more bullet points or a
sub bullet
14/11/2013
21
 www.steria.no

22. 3. Text slides (continued)
 There are many ways of combining
text slides with a photo, table or
graph
 Where information is complex,
consider a table, diagram or image
to simplify its presentation
 Try to present only one big idea for
each slide
14/11/2013
22
 www.steria.no

23. 4. Table slides
 www.steria.no
 When you insert a table, the colours will match the slide colour theme.
 There are many ways of making tables more memorable and interesting,
i.e. combining tables, photos and charts
14/11/2013
23

24. 5. Chart slides
 Make charts and diagrams as clear as possible to better convey the
message
 The fewer lines, text and figures the better
 Avoid too many colours or excessive 3D effects
 Use illustrative imagery to add interest
14/11/2013
24
 www.steria.no

25. 6. Image slides
 www.steria.no
 Use images with care – they should be relevant to the content
 The slide colour and image should complement each other
 When placing text over an image, ensure that the text is legible – use a
solid or semi-transparent box over the image if necessary
14/11/2013
25

26. Image tucked under the ribbon
Use the following two options from the available slide layouts
 For a title slide, select “Title slide Background Image”
 For a standard slide, select “Small Ribbon full image”
 In both cases, click on the icon in the middle of the slide and
import the image as a file
14/11/2013

27. The grid provides a flexible layout system
If all your slide elements have been
aligned using the layout grid, it gives
the presentation a consistent and
professional “look and feel” as you
move from slide to slide. Make sure to
turn on support lines and set them up
as shown here
 The key points to remember are:
 Ensure that text blocks and
graphical elements are not
moved away from their default
position in the master template
 When using additional text
boxes or graphics, always
align them to gridlines

29. Use of partner/client logotype on title slides
 When including client or partner
logotypes it is important to ensure
that visual ownership clearly
remains Steria’s
 Client or partner logotypes must
never replace our logotype
14/11/2013
29
 www.steria.no

30. Use of partner/client logotype on text slides
Client/partner logos on text and
content slides can be placed in the top
right underneath the ribbon graphic
HOW TO DO IT
 In PowerPoint 2010 go to
View > Slide Master
 Select the content slide, paste the
partner logo and position it top right
as shown here
 The logo can then be copied from
this position and pasted onto the
other coloured master content
slides
14/11/2013

 www.steria.no

31. Be sure to represent client logos correctly
 When using corporate logos other than our
own, be considerate of any special needs and
graphic standards that the client or partner may
require (colour, placement, spacing)
 Copying logos from web pages of the company
often results in poor graphic quality which is not
appropriate – it does not demonstrate respect
for your client

35. Removing the background from a photo
 www.steria.no
Knowing how to remove a background of a
photo can be very useful, like in this
example with the balloon that been placed
on top of the city of Paris.
Simply double-clikk on the
image and then select
Remove Background from
the Image toolbar.

36. Optimise your file for e-mail transfers
Please remember that adding multiple
images and illustrations increases file size.
This may slow e-mail transfers, make it
difficult to distribute your presentation and
has significant impact on Steria Group IT
costs.
14/11/2013

37. How to reduce your file size: Option 1
 www.steria.no
To reduce the size of your PowerPoint files,
you can use the “Compress Pictures”
command on the “Picture Toolbar”
 Double click on an image in your
presentation to bring up the Picture Tools
toolbar
 Select Compress Pictures
 Uncheck ‘Apply only to this picture’
 Check ‘Delete cropped areas of pictures’
 Select Target Output as ‘Screen’ or
‘Email’
 Click ok
14/11/2013
37
This can potentially reduce your file size
to less than 1 percent of your original size
Example: Insert a 10 MB photo
Before compression: File size = 10 MB
After compression: File size = 64 Kb

38. How to reduce your file size: Option 2
An alternative way to reduce the size
of your PowerPoint files is to export all
image slides from PowerPoint as a
JPG and then re-import them
 This is especially useful, when your
presentation contains a lot of flowcharts, screen dumps etc.
 Under the “File” menu select “Save
As” and under the prompt select:
 Save as type: JPEG

40. Designed to be used for both simple and
advanced slide layouts
 www.steria.no
Recognising the need for flexibility and different levels of sophistication, the
Steria PowerPoint template is designed to fit both basic and advanced slide
layouts
 Basic slide layouts
 Basic implementation provides all the basic types of slide you need to
create a clear, professional presentation yourself
 Suitable for smaller meetings and short presentations
 Advanced slide layouts
 Advanced implementation, maybe with help from a professional
designer, can create greater impact whilst still remaining on brand
 Suitable for larger meetings and conferences
