Editor's Notes

  1. The notes that accompany these example slides form a guideline to producing successful presentations and working effectively with the template. A number of slide layout masters have been created to allow switching between different slide styles; by ‘right-clicking’ a slide you can ‘apply’ a different slide layout (the content of which needs to be applicable to the layout you are choosing). Printing your presentation in ‘black and white’ will avoid overuse of colour toners – you can preview the ‘black and white’ appearance by choosing the option under the ‘View’ tab in PowerPoint®. General principles Guides have been added to assist with the correct placement of all presentation elements (text and graphics) – please work within the slide margins and use the guides wherever possible. By following the example slides you will see how elements are positioned. Text should not be resized or distorted to fit; if your content won’t fit on a single slide, use an additional slide instead. Remember… slides should be a prompt for the presenter and not filled with copy for reading out in full. Opening slide [uses Holding Slide layout] This slide is intended as an introductory ‘opening’ slide and should not include any additional text or graphics. The same slide layout is used as a presentation closing slide. The brand mark and data art graphic on this slide layout are set up at the correct size and position and should not be altered.

  3. Smart Assistant
  4. Smart Assistant
  5. Title slide [uses Title Slide (White Background) layout] The brand mark and data art graphic on this slide layout are set up at the correct size and position and should not be altered. The presentation title appears in Arial (Experian Dark Blue); other presentation details should be in Arial (Grey) and separated by a single line space, as shown in this example.
  6. Title slide [uses Title Slide (White Background) layout] The brand mark and data art graphic on this slide layout are set up at the correct size and position and should not be altered. The presentation title appears in Arial (Experian Dark Blue); other presentation details should be in Arial (Grey) and separated by a single line space, as shown in this example.
  7. Title slide [uses Title Slide (White Background) layout] The brand mark and data art graphic on this slide layout are set up at the correct size and position and should not be altered. The presentation title appears in Arial (Experian Dark Blue); other presentation details should be in Arial (Grey) and separated by a single line space, as shown in this example.
  8. Title slide [uses Title Slide (White Background) layout] The brand mark and data art graphic on this slide layout are set up at the correct size and position and should not be altered.

  12. Slot types are “mostly” accurate, not “always” accurate. Ensure you have a “huh, what?” responsse? Don’t repeat what they said without CHECK IT’S VALID. VALID DOESN’T MEAN ACCURATE
  13. Slot types are “mostly” accurate, not “always” accurate. Ensure you have a “huh, what?” responsse? Don’t repeat what they said without CHECK IT’S VALID. VALID DOESN’T MEAN ACCURATE
  14. Sounds strange – but unlike at a computer the user isn’t there to perform a task. You’re in someone’s living room or kitchen. “Alexa, Ask Tech on Toast for a Radio Ad Impression”
  15. It’s a conversation – not a form! Use follow up questions
  16. Quote left, image right slide [uses Quote and Image layout] The quote [or callout] appears in Arial (Experian Dark Blue) at 22pt. Clicking on the textbox shows how it has been slightly extended beyond the left margin; a text indent has been set up to align the text in line with the left margin, resulting in an overhanging quote mark. If you wish to replace the ‘quote’ with a ‘callout’ and remove the quote marks, simply move the textbox back in line with the left margin and remove the text indent (either using the indent markers on the ruler or by cancelling the indent in the ‘Paragraph’ settings). Inserting an image A squircle picture placeholder has been set up on the slide layout, bleeding off to the top and right of the layout. The placed image should be a square format and the squircle placeholder is 16cm x 16cm. To optimise screen and desktop printed output, it is recommended that images are saved to 100dpi at these dimensions. The brand mark on this slide layout is set up at the correct size and position and should not be altered. The date and footer info can be edited across all slides by using the ‘Header and Footer’ settings on the ‘Insert’ ribbon (do not edit these manually on the individual slides).
  17. “Alexa, Ask Tech on Toast to go wrong”
  18. Title slide [uses Title Slide (White Background) layout] The brand mark and data art graphic on this slide layout are set up at the correct size and position and should not be altered. The presentation title appears in Arial (Experian Dark Blue); other presentation details should be in Arial (Grey) and separated by a single line space, as shown in this example.
