+\section{Basic Information}
+\subsection{Motivation}
+\begin{frame}{\insertsubsectionhead}
+    \begin{itemize}
+        \item I needed a way to make presentations without Microsoft PowerPoint.
+        \item The most robust alternative I found for myself is the \LaTeX~beamer.
+        \item For me the \LaTeX~beamer:
+            \begin{itemize}
+                \item Provides a simple way to have consistent style across all my slides \& presentations
+                \item Allows me to have some convenient features like hyperlinks and references automatically
+                \item Makes me independent of the commercial software
+            \end{itemize}
+    \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\subsection{Structure}
+\begin{frame}{\insertsubsectionhead}
+    \begin{itemize}
+        \item The template is fully contained in beamerthemeOptics.sty
+        \item There are comments, so I hope it is self-explanatory.\par
+            \descr{The template also contains some custom commands and \textcolor{accent}{different} \textcolor{primary}{colors}, which I use}
+    \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+
+\section{Examples}
+\subsection{An Image \& a Reference}
+\begin{frame}{\insertsubsectionhead}
+            \begin{figure}
+                \centering
+                \includegraphics[width=0.4\textwidth]{files/redsquare.png}
+                \caption{A red square.~\cite{exampleref1}}
+            \end{figure}
+\end{frame}
+\subsection{A Slide with Text \& Images}
+\begin{frame}{\insertsubsectionhead}
+    \begin{columns}[T]
+        \begin{column}{0.5\textwidth}
+            \begin{itemize}
+                \item Just a simple demonstration of how to have text \& images on the same slide.
+                \item I just use columns
+                \item Obviously you have more freedom in something like PowerPoint, but I don't feel like I lose something by making my slides this way
+            \end{itemize}
+        \end{column}
+        \begin{column}{0.5\textwidth}
+            \begin{figure}
