Slide Layouts
Slide Layouts
Summary
- Provide user with a selection of layouts to choose from when creating a slide
- Manage order of components on slides
Layouts are a property of a slide.
- Should be selected when click add a slide
- Should be altered through the properties button for a slide
Propose that layouts are code through HTML
- CSS can be removed and overridden
- CSS used for themes
But if use HTML then more difficult to change layout once a slide is created.
For every layout option we need a mobile version that reflows content below a certain screen size. This is to maintain readability.
potentially layout options:
- Heading only
- Blank (invisible heading)
- Heading plus 1 content
- Heading plus 2 content areas, side by side
- Section title slide
(Images are screenshots from PowerPoint to illustrate possibilities)
Background and goals
Assumptions
- A slide must always have a title, even if it is not displayed on the slide.
