Designing Your Own
Master Slides and Themes
This chapter describes how to change the default attributes
of images, objects, and more, and how to create your own
master slides and themes.
This chapter assumes you are already familiar with the Keynote design and formatting
features described in previous chapters.
Designing Master Slides and Themes
The themes that come with Keynote are sets of master slides with predefined layouts,
backgrounds, charts, tables, and text attributes. You can modify these attributes to
create your own masters and themes. When you change a master slide, the changes
appear on every slide in the document that’s based on that master.
You can create a new theme by:
 Modifying master slides and saving the document as a new theme.
 Deleting all master slides except the blank one, creating a collection of master slides
from scratch, and then saving the document as a new theme.
You can customize the following master slide attributes:
 Default position of title and body text
 Background graphics
 Default fonts
 Default bullet styles
 Default position for objects (object placeholders)
 Object fills and line styles for objects
 Chart style
 Slide transition style
 Alignment guide positions
