Discover the flavors of Sonoma, a tremendously adaptable, print-inspired theme that invites you to create your own definition of variety.

Order from chaos.
The print inspired, block panel layouts in the Sonoma design allow you to bring widely divergent styles or topics together into a single highly ordered layout with drag and drop ease.

Sonoma blends classic print-inspired styling with a color-neutral framework, designed to propel imagery, color and type forward while maintaining a consistent, structured feel. The result is a theme that not only allows you to make your quick-change customizations via a palette change or placing a photo: the design actually encourages you to take that approach to another level, mixing contrasting photographic palettes into a diverse array of color and texture.

The included layouts - from single-panel, full-page designs all the way to six and seven-panel photo or "module" oriented layouts - are all approached with an eye to balance, detail and style that will make your material look great with very little effort. The accompanying chart palette is subtle and professional - blending contrasting primary colors and subdued earth tones in an eye-catching, easy-to-read solid-color palette that translates well from screen to print.

Want to take it even further? The entire Sonoma framework has been optimized for the PowerPoint THMX architecture - so you can change the fonts or running color scheme to any of the other theme presets provided with Microsoft Office - even your own corporate palette or typeface - and make the theme uniquely yours with unprecedented speed and ease, making it even easier to add your own flavor to your Sonoma presentations.

The Sonoma theme features a range of commanding text + photo-oriented layouts - both full-slide and mosaic block-panel layouts - in a crisp, ordered style that frames your the diversity of your content with a tight, print-inspired feel.

The Slides

Sonoma includes 39 Slide Masters - a mix of both photo-oriented layouts and additional specialized text layouts. The Sonoma layouts are designed to allow for maximum flexibility with an understated order imposed by the structured framework - allowing for highly-diversified narrative"panels" to take on a clean, highly-designed look and feel within the larger design. Whether using the stock palette, your own custom or built in Office Palette, or full-scale abstract or narrative-driven photography as a base, your layouts take on the crisp, ordered appearance of highly-produced printwork with little effort.

The Big Picture: Sonoma HD.

Sonoma HD, available exclusively in the Sonoma Pro Edition, expands the style into HD format with an aspect-optimized 16:9 / 16:10 version of the Sonoma theme tailored for high-definition display - so you can take advantage of an HD monitor or a next-generation HD projection system as target presentation platforms without the "dead space" associated with running traditional standard-definition presentations on an HD display.

The Power of THMX

Thanks to Microsoft Office's THMX architecture, Sonoma is more than your ordinary PowerPoint template. The THMX architecture blows the doors off the 3-Master-Slide basics of classic PowerPoint - enabling a wide range of specialty and use-driven layouts to be built directly into the theme. Theme-wide color, font and effects settings ensure that your charts, tables and SmartArt Graphics are consistently styled from slide to slide, and since Sonoma is fully THMX-compliant, you can change the fonts or running color scheme to any of the other theme presets provided with Microsoft Office - even your own corporate palette or typeface - with a single click. Thanks to the power of THMX and Sonoma, your presentation will be wrapped in a professional-grade look that's sure to get you noticed every time.
