TIPS READ FIRST – THEN DELETE THIS SLIDE Fonts: Corbel is your workhorse font for text and paragraph copy. Corbel Bold is for headlines, subheads, call-outs, sidebars, etc. Fonts: Avoid the fonts Calibri, Arial, Times New Roman, etc. Keeping the fonts consistent upholds the integrity of your presentation. Check out thenounproject.com to find appropriate images and icons. PNG files can be downloaded from The Noun Project or Google which will avoid the “white square” background when placed into PowerPoint. (In google image search, look for a “checkered” background – that’s how you’ll know.) Use the BoardSource brand colors as you design your presentation. Refer to the style guide for help. You can input RGB or CMYK colors here in PPT easily so you get the perfect color. All the colors are already in this template, so you can copy and paste. Be judicious with transitions–keep it professional and clean. You have three cover options to choose from – three different colors. You may also use images if you’re referring to a product or have a headshot to feature on the cover. If you have issues or questions, please reach out to Natalie Younger at BLFSpeaker@BoardSource.org. Enjoy the 2017 BoardSource Leadership Forum. The following slide is a mandatory presentation cover for all BLF presenters. Please customize it or add it to your own slide deck if not using this template.
