I learned how to make custom themes for Google Slides semi-recently, so I made one with the CDVL colors for use in our presentations. Feel free to use it! Import theme to your library here!
It’s a new semester, and I’m back in the CDVL! It’s wild how much about this place has changed since I started working here, we’re almost unrecognizable as the same organization on a surface level.

If I’m working with under 10 layers this isn’t usually a problem, but it would probably save me a lot of time if I made the effort to name layers in more complex projects. Here’s an example of what I mean. This is actually better than …
