Usage example: Places Pins & Time Zone

Slide Content

This PowerPoint slide presents a map-based visualization, labeled "Usage example: Places Pins & Time Zone", for annotating geographic locations with pins that could represent different data points or areas of interest. The pins on the map have distinct icons indicating various types of locations or information, such as points of commercial interest or landmarks. Accompanying these graphical elements are placeholders for text, enabling the user to add descriptions or important information about the locations marked by the pins.

Graphical Look

• A large, blue-tinted map occupying most of the slide with irregularly shaped regions demarcated with white borders.
• Four pins with different icons (exclamation mark, pause symbol, target, and factory or building silhouette) are placed on the map, suggesting diversity in the points of interest.
• The upper left corner features a ribbon banner with the text "Fully Editable" against a pale blue background.
• A green note label saying "Your text" is situated on the upper right side, angled as if attached to the map with a pin.
• Two text boxes, one with a header "SHORT DESCRIPTION OF THE LOCALIZATIONS" and another longer box with placeholder Lorem Ipsum text, are set at the bottom right. These boxes have rounded corners and are in contrasting grey and white colors.
• The overall design includes a drop shadow effect to give depth to the map and text boxes.

The slide presents a visually appealing and professional design with its use of vibrant color contrasts and clean, modern graphics. These elements are well-arranged to facilitate clear communication of information through a combination of visualization and text.
