If you have not yet upgraded to Keynote 3, Bevel is a very good reason to. Now, with the ability to Mask images to a Shape, there are stunning possibilities. Take a look at the demo movie to see some of the effects easily created with this theme. Being a KeyFX theme means you have total control over background color and image.

The theme comes with a basic set of 48 Master Slides with an additional 121 in a supplemental file that includes a unique interactive selection guide. Just hit "Play"... then click on any one of the 121 layout designs. Boom, you are taken to that slide, then just hit escape and copy, ready for pasting into your presentation. There's no scrolling through 100 plus slides.

We have created Bevel West a bonus theme made with Bevel's 48 basic Master slides to get you started on the many themes you will be able to create.

Based on the same cutout designs as Bevel, Panel consists of a basic blue theme of 48 Masters plus 121 additional layouts which use an interactive guide that eases the selection process (first seen in Bevel). Designed with your custom work in mind, one way to make quick work of a custom theme is to set to Back a reduced opacity image on the Slides! The "Panel" image above and the"Paleontology" image below are examples.

Fire is done with just a basic color change from Panel's blue tones to an orange and red combination. Here, we have dressed it up a bit, the background image (with opacity reduced) has been sent to Back, this image and the tab elements are from the included Extras file. Also used is the Midnight font, one of the World outlines from Global Cool, and a dinosaur outline from iStockphoto.com. The red aqua bead to indicate location and the "Glass" overlay image are from our Super Elements. It all comes together pretty well! With a little effort Panel can take on any character you wish.

Roll out the carpet and turn on the lights! Enlighten your points and your audience with "Spotlight". Use builds and transitions to turn any of the five styles of spotlights on and off. Focus a beam of light directly on what is important! There is a certain ambiance to this theme that makes it feel you really are in for a great "show". Two Sounds are included, the breaker "thud" that echos across the stage.

Another is a light clapping. We can all use a bit of applause once in awhile, even if we have to manufacture it ourselves. Spotlight comes with expertly rendered 3D opening and closing curtains. Build a bit of anticipation as to what is to come by bringing opacity down and give the look of shear curtains (as seen in the movie). Or use them to transition between significant sections of a presentation, behind curtain number one... two etc.

The two movies can be used with any 4:3 theme in your collection.

Spotlight includes three background textures, Brick, corrugated Metal and weathered Barn that have seamlessly been tiled on the horizontal edges affording the use of invisible Push transitions. Cutouts are multi-purpose in that they can remain empty, be used for pertinent images or symbolic backgrounds.

Please note, only the Chinese nation "orb" is included with the Spotlight Extras. Others seen here are not included with the theme, along with national border Keynote shapes the, orbs will be released as a Super Elements package.
