LAYOUTS
Large Fonts
Text Heavy Slides
Gradients on Slides
Video Slides
Video Background
Scroll View
Use
Using a larger font will enable your audience to read your
content without having to constantly zoom in on pages.
Although this will reduce the amount of text that can be on each
Large Fonts
page, your readers will thank you for their easy reading.
Wrong Right
Recommended minimum font size is 18px
Avoid
For text heavy slides, use RELAYTO popups with pulsating icons
to indicate more content.
Text Heavy Slides
Wrong Right
Large blocks of text that are hard to read on a screen. Dense Add popups with more content on RELAYTO
columns, especially on vertical/scrollable layouts.
Using Gradients
1
on Slides
RELAYTO has a limited support for elements with radial
gradients.
1. Export the gradient as an image import it in the PDF or
your RELAYTO document
2. Use only linear gradient type

Layout for
Scroll View
For the best viewing experience in scroll view, set the presentation’s
slide aspect ratio to 16:9. Make sure to put consistent padding &
leave some space above & below the contents of the slide. This will
achieve the feel of a website rather than a zoomed in PowerPoint
because the ratio size will be balanced.
How to set up guides in PowerPoint:
1. Click on “View,” then select “Guides”
2. To add a guide, right-click on an existing guide, then add a
vertical or horizontal guide
3. Align vertical lines to 3.00cm with the top ruler
4. Align horizontal lines to 5.50cm with the left ruler

Add Hyperlinks to Generate
Immersive Experiences
Do add hyperlinks to videos, articles and other websites.
RELAYTO will automatically create an immersive preview or full
screen experience for select links.
Right
Hyperlinked thumbnails to external resources
Design Web-like
Buttons / Actions
Wrong
When creating hyperlinks and call-to-actions, make them feel like
Web buttons, not like an average PowerPoint shape. They need
whitespace, color & size contrast to generate desired behaviors.
