Bonjour Heroes.
I'm not very familiar with Design Themes because, as Jonathan and Jodi and Julie said, every project is special. However, I'd like to share with you something I do first every time I start a project. For me, with my own way of thinking and doing, it's a great time saver. I create a master slide mask (only one if possible, from an empty master slide) containing everything the slides will share: essential buttons, recurring layers, progress bar, timer, rewards, Menu, instructions, etc... and as many elements as possible. This is my first step. The advantage is obvious: if you need to change 1 thing, it will be the same for all 200 screens in your project.
I'm curious to know if you share this method.
(NB: little graphical effort in this demo. Mostly technical. File.story downloadable from Review)

Fantastic! I have a similar method - it really is a great time-saver, but I had never considered using layers on a master slide. Thanks for sharing your file. I look forward to digging into it.
