#KEYNOTE ICONS HOW TO#
I prefer downloading their PowerPoint toolkit, since it includes icons for all their services, well organized by category, but also other resources, like group and resource icons.įor other vendors, many companies have a Media or Brand page for press releases, with downloadable assets and instructions on how to use their logos. If you are working with Amazon Web Services, I highly recommend downloading their AWS Architecture Icons. Unless using a work template, I usually go with a bare one, picking either light or dark background. Keynote, as well as Powerpoint and other slide editors, have a good list of presentation templates. Being good at making presentations can take you far. Besides, presentations are often a great way to share knowledge, whether this is on the web, at conferences, or at your workplace, sharing knowledge and ideas with other coworkers and/or teams.

There are many online editors, and other native apps to make diagrams, but they often feel slow and clunky when compared. However, Dot support for images is very limited, and creating (and reading) architecture diagrams is often much easier when vendor icons are used.įor this, I found Keynote the perfect tool. Dot is capable of rendering really complex graphs (check their example gallery). Using text-based tools is great for source-control and versioning. Among other things, I’ve used Dot for generating Swift Package documentation with SourceDocs, or this diagram of Bobiverse (first book). I am a big fan of Dot, a text-based language for making undirected and directed graphs using only text. I started working on an updated architecture diagram to illustrate the current state of my Blog Engine, and decided to write about the tools I use.
