New Timeline PowerPoint Templates

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011

We’ve been receiving several suggestions and requests for items to build a corporate time line or a company history. Frankly I am kind of embarrassed that we didn’t have anything like that on PresenterMedia. But I and my designer partners decided that today was the day to rectify the problem. We are happy to introduce our Timeline Tool Kit template for PowerPoint.

A slide from our new Time Line PowerPoint Template

The template has several different layouts to choose from and it also contains all the individual elements that were used to create the time lines. You can easily take the pieces and customize a slide to your own needs.

An alternate timeline layout from our new template.

These files will work with all versions of PowerPoint 2003, 2007, 2010 on the PC; and 2004, 2008 and 2011 on the Mac. Simply open the presentation and change the pictures and add your own details. You can also copy and paste these slides into your existing presentations.

Process time line layout from the template

We have several other ideas for more time lines in the future. I’m certain there will be more of these tool kits in the future. This template, as well as all of our templates for PowerPoint, can be downloaded with a subscription to PresenterMedia.

Be sure to let us know if there is a specific type of time line you would like to see included in our next tool kit.

Keys Locks and Chains

Thursday, January 6th, 2011

One of my favorite things to create at PresenterMedia is images that represent metaphors and illustrate business concepts. Recently I and my fellow partners have created a series of images based on chains locks and keys. We have endeavored to create concepts like, ‘The Weakest Link’, ‘A Break in the Chain’, ‘the Missing Link’, the Key to Wealth and many more.

Here are some of the sample items that are now available on PresenterMedia for download.
