Hyperion Theme + Template System

Colorful NXT-Generation hybrid Theme / Template system for Keynote and Pages.

2018

At a Glance

I designed a vibrant new Theme + Template system for Keynote & Pages that's bold, bright, and brimming with colorful optimism.

Hyperion was built to be uniquely assertive without sacrificing clarity or ease of use. Classical structure and crisp, bold type is paired with a gradient of liquid color that effortlessly frames bullets, photos and styled narrative alike. Colorful Title & Callout slides bookend a range of crisp, white Content and Narrative slides, all set against a refined, classically-informed editorial grid with an intuitive visual hierarchy.

The complete Hyperion system includes an expanded library of Template Extension add-ons that make it easy to add timelines, device mockups, and map visualizations – along with an extensive Pages Template library that expands the Hyperion asthetic to a complete small-business document system.
