Design Template

By Wendy Russell, About.com

Definition: Think of design templates as a coordinated packaged deal. When you decorate a room, you use colors and patterns that all work together. A design template acts in much the same way. It is created so that even though different slide types can have different layouts and graphics, the whole presentation goes together as an attractive package.

Also Known As: template design, master slides
Examples: The design template that Mary chose for her presentation was called "Stream" and was primarily blue with subtle background graphics.
