Next Steps Timeline

Slide Content

The slide, titled "Next Steps Timeline," features three distinct stages or milestones set to specific months in 2018: January, May, and November. Each milestone is paired with a colorful marker containing the month and year, and sits above a rectangular text box with space for related details. This template offers a clear method for presenting sequential events or actions in a process and provides placeholders to add descriptions for each step, possibly explaining tasks, milestones, or objectives in a project or plan.

Graphical Look

• Three circular date markers are aligned horizontally across the top of the slide, each with a distinct color—purple for January, green for May, and orange for November. Each marker is connected to a rectangular speech bubble-like text box by a line that resembles a pin or pushpin.
• The date markers have a three-dimensional appearance, suggesting they are buttons or pins sticking through the top border of the timeline.
• The text boxes under each date are styled to look like banners or labels, and are a muted blue color, contrasting with the bright colors of the date markers.
• The overall background of the slide is white, with no additional graphics or design elements, ensuring that the timeline stands out distinctly.
• A gray arrow extends from the left side of the slide, underlining the date markers, and stretches off to the right side, hinting at the continuity or potential for more steps beyond what is shown.

The slide features a sleek, modern design with a minimalist aesthetic, using flat graphics and contrasting colors to create a visually engaging timeline. Its clean lines and simple shapes focus the viewer's attention on the content of the timeline.
