A Boardroom in a Diamond for Meeting Minutes
Rounded purple shapes sweep down from the corner of this cover, ending in a diamond photo of colleagues around a table. Four fill in lines for Meeting Title, Date, Time and Location make it a working cover for a folder of minutes. It suits managers, secretaries, project teams and committees.
Purple Shapes, Diamond Photo and Fill In Lines
The page is 8.5 x 11 inches, portrait, one page. The purple band starts at the upper left and curves around the photo. The logo of your company goes in the circle at the top right. The title sits at the left with a vertical bar, and the year 20XX at the right.
