4.6A guide to designing presentation decks that communicate fast and look professional, whether you build in Figma, Keynote, PowerPoint, or Google Slides. Written for founders pitching, consultants presenting, and anyone who has watched an audience squint at a wall of bullet points. The guide is split into the two things that make a deck work: structure and visual design. On structure, it covers the one-idea-per-slide rule, narrative arc, and how to write a headline that carries the slide's message on its own. On design, it covers a slide master/template system, a tight type scale for projection, grid and alignment, restrained color, data-visualization basics (the right chart, no chartjunk), and image use. It explains the reasoning behind each rule — why headlines should be assertions not topics, why six-by-six bullet rules exist, why a single accent color reads better on a projector, why pie charts usually fail. It also covers the difference between a deck you present live and one you send to be read. You will finish with a reusable slide template structure, a headline-writing method, a chart-selection guide, and a pre-send QA checklist. Best for pitch decks, sales decks, internal reviews, and conference talks.
All of them. Principles apply to Figma, Keynote, PowerPoint, and Google Slides. Setup tips reference common features each tool shares (slide masters, layouts, alignment).
Both, because a beautiful deck with weak structure still fails. It covers narrative and headlines as well as layout, type, color, and charts.
Yes. There's a chart-selection guide and rules for honest, readable data slides, including why to avoid pie charts and chartjunk.
The principles cover pitch, sales, internal, and conference decks. The narrative section is especially useful for pitches.
