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.
