Slide Layouts

Hi All,
I was just wondering if anyone has a set of layouts they set up when developing a course. I don't mean the graphic design side, just the place holder layouts that you would then apply different designs to. For example:
- Title Page
- Heading + Content
- Media + Content
- Tabs
- etc
I'm looking at getting a quote from a graphic designer to develop templates for me but I don't have a consistent set of layout that i use.... I'm more a develop as I need it type of girl
Does anyone have a set of powerpoints they use that show the different layouts options? The pre-built powerpoint templates don't really cover things like tab layouts, feedback slides ect. I would greatly appreciate not having to put one together!!!
Thanks in advance!

hi Kat, are you just looking for a list of slide types that you could or might want to design for a given course? THe reason i ask is, i think you would not want to automaticly develop all sorts of actual slide layouts for every course, but rather take things on a case-by-case basis, no? because not all courses will necessarily require the same content.
Even things like tab interactions might look drasticly different depending on the course content , i think, if you are using Storyline. I guess if you are using Engage it is more templated and therefore you might want to define things like standard colors, tab width, and such.
that said i could definitely see value in having a list of possible layouts that would be important to consider each time you build a course, and then when you are beginning to make a prototype, you could consult that list to determine which slide layouts would be most useful to consider building.
To your list above i would add:
Hi Kat -
Tom has a great post that talks about the various types of content screens: http://www.articulate.com/rapid-elearning/new-to-e-learning-here-are-some-simple-steps-to-help-you-get-started/
