Teardrop & arrow timeline — vertical

Slide Content

This PowerPoint slide is designed to represent a vertical timeline, using a combination of teardrop-shaped elements and arrows pointing to text boxes where details can be added. Each teardrop and arrow combination denote a specific event or milestone, and the sequence of these graphical elements suggests a progression over time. The text boxes associated with each teardrop provide a placeholder for a description, allowing the presenter to outline stages, developments, or steps in a process.

Graphical Look

• The background of the slide is plain white, ensuring that the colorful elements stand out.
• There's a central, vertical gray dotted line with round bullet points, which serves as the timeline's axis.
• Teardrop shapes in various bright colors (purple, blue, orange, and green) are aligned along the timeline.
• Each teardrop is connected to a corresponding arrow that points to a rectangular text box labeled with "Add text here".
• The arrows create a visual flow, guiding the viewer's eye from one element to the next down the slide.
• At the top of the slide, there is a teal-colored banner with text emphasizing the slide's editability.

The overall look of the slide is modern and visually engaging with its use of color and shape to attract attention. The design is structured to present information in a clear, sequential manner.
