When I first saw this year’s challenge, I planned on starting with Content Library’s Harmony template like I did in last year’s Greenery challenge. Unfortunately, Harmony’s default purple colors felt too similar to this year’s Ultra Violet colors.
So instead, I went with the Inspire theme. But rather than sticking with Inspire’s darker colors, I wanted to lighten things up a bit.
In the Greenry challenge, I only needed to make changes to Harmony's theme colors to give the template a greenish look and feel. But for the Inspire template, I found it was necessary to change both the theme colors and some color swatch associations for text and shape objects. It wasn’t a lot of extra work but it did take some noodling to get things where I liked them.

- That looks pretty schweet Montse.
- Your work is always excellent and the fact that you share it helps all of us. I love your ideas.
- Thank you so much, Jeffrey! I'm just now catching up with the comments and your comment has made my day:-)
- I think your look gives a great clean and inviting feel to the template.
- I agree with Alexander - that is schweet! And I like how you presented the before/after with the slider. No sense in having us click through a bunch of slides to see the "transformation". Thanks for sharing.
- Thanks, Angela! It certainly would have been quicker on my end until everyone click through a bunch of slides:-) I made some silly mistakes building the slider and had to rebuild it a couple of times. oh well, lessons learned. And that's what I like about these challenges.
- Montse, what a cool idea using the slider to change the colors!
- Nice one Montse!
