The grid | the roundel | email signature | presentation template
A roundel device has been designed to highlight key offers, to help consistent application it should be applied using the following steps.
Step 1 – Sizing the roundel: The roundel is set at two columns and one gutter wide.
Step 2 – Bleeding off the roundel: The roundel should bleed off the page by the width of the gutter only.
Step 3 – Angle the message: To help separate the offer message from the ad, we angle the type -37º.
The roundel should always be anchored to an edge but never placed on the bound side of a journal or brochure as this may obscure it.
The roundel colour should be selected based on the colours used within the design layout.
The roundel should be reduced proportionally across different formats and continue to bleed off. On extreme landscape formats the roundel can bleed off at the top and bottom.

Our presentation template has been designed to be user friendly and distinctive. The clean layouts ensure that all presentations look professional and retain excellent legibility.
The templates predominantly use the primary colour palette. However, for longer presentations with multiple sections the secondary colour palette can be introduced. This should only be used on dividers.
Our system typefaces, Arial, Roboto or Calibri, are used throughout our presentation template to ensure consistency. Please do not create your own themes or deviate from the system fonts, Arial, Calibri or Roboto.
