Template guidelines – 1Use Gill Sans MT font throughoutStandard text size is 32Standard line spacing is Single (7.68 before, 0 after)This blue ink colour is RGB 51/51/153Banner blue is RGB 51/51/153 as wellThe slide title text size is 36• Bullet points look like this

Slide 3

Template guidelines – 2You don’t need to start every sentence with a bullet point

I generally avoid full-stops at the end of each sentence to retain a cleaner look to the text

Use bold and colour sparingly in the text

No need to animate every object on your slide

Template guidelines – 3Feel free to move the text around on

the page in order to fit in with images, tables,

diagrams or other objects

As long we stick to the basic rules (font, colour, size)

and include plenty of space, the slides will look neat

Slide 5

Diagrams and drawingsBoxes should have 2.25pt line, with slight shadow
