This newspaper background for slides sets classic printing press parts in pale blue against a bright white canvas. A rotary press truss, an ink roller and a plate clamp appear at the edge of each slide as soft, holographic outlines. They stay small and quiet, so most of the slide stays open for headlines, stories and quotes. It also works as a newspaper PowerPoint background for journalism classes, media studies lessons, news writing workshops and publishing talks.
Features:
- Holographic newspaper details: rotary press, ink roller, plate clamp and delivery conveyor
- 5 background layouts: object on the left, right or bottom, plus two diagonal corner versions
- White and pale blue color palette with a soft holographic glow
- About 80% clean space for titles, text, charts and diagrams
- Widescreen 16:9 format (1856×1056 JPG)
- Works in PowerPoint, Google Slides and Keynote
