1. PowerPoint Template
Printer-Friendly Version

2. This PowerPoint template is designed to provide an easy way to create material that ties in with the Master Brand. It was developed to be simple and flexible. You can write over this document and delete or duplicate the slides you need. Or, if you are more advanced, use the PowerPoint “slide master” feature. We attempted to provide a basic and consistent design which uses a single font, PrudentialModern, and the Master Brand color palette. (If PrudentialModern is not available, Arial can be a substitute.) This provides a starting point and a few options for creating your own presentation. To learn more, download the complete Master Brand Design Style Guide on Brand Central.

General Presentation
Keep your audience in mind
The text should be a cue rather than a message for the viewer
Practice so you can speak from bullet points
Never read your slides; talk freely
Always express a “Take Home Message”
Use images to visualize and explain
6-8 words per line work best

8. Design Samples
To be more printer-friendly, this template attempts to limit ink coverage.
Cover Page This presentation uses the “Grey Bottom Cover” design from the slide masters template.
Divider Page Template To separate areas of your presentation, divider page templates are available; however, this example just uses a white page.
Main Page Template The majority of your presentations will use a main page template available in the slide masters. This example uses the “Grey Bottom Bar Page” design.
