KeyStation 2 released

KeynotePro has released KeyStation 2, a major update to its KeyStation theme for Apple's Keynote presentation software that features a Web-inspired presenter/kiosk-mode hybrid theme designed to ease the process of creating interactive presentations and Keynote-powered kiosks. "The KeyStation themes were designed from the ground up to be a truly flexible platform for both traditional projector-driven presentations and Interactive/Kiosk-mode presentation options available in iWork '06 or Keynote 2," said KeynotePro. KeyStation 2 includes up to 58 Master Slides (Pro/HD versions) with a wide range of text and photo-oriented layouts in both standard and kiosk-oriented designs. The update retouches color throughout the theme, offering a deeper-hued backing blue with softer contrasting color chart fills. KeyStation 2 is available for $30, and includes KeyStation 2 HD. The updated theme requires Apple Keynote 3.0 or later. Bundle pricing is also available.

The edge overlay now features a soft transitional gray with a crisp edge pushing the entire center panel forward. KeyStation 2 also includes a fully interactive 'Supplemental Presentation' containing extras such as directional/navigation buttons in a range of colors, tabular extras, and tutorial information alongside updated KeyStation 2 palette and fills. KeyStation 2 HD, which is available only in the KeyStation 2 Pro Edition, expands the style into HD format with 16:9 and 16:10 versions of KeyStation 2 optimized specifically for HD presentations.

"Every level of the theme is optimized with information design principles in mind - from the standard 'Presenter' slides that span the traditional slide types, to the Kiosk-mode slides that bring in interface-oriented elements such as menu screens, directories and galleries - so you can be ready to present an exceedingly clean, information-rich interactive presentation in no time."
