PowerPoint Presentations

These slides are example layouts from the National Sales Meeting using the black background corporate template and the event’s theme for 2020. Another graphic designer created the instrument pattern theme. I implemented the theme patterns into the event template and developed custom templates for each region.

This deck was created for the marketing summit in 2017. Another graphic designer created the theme graphic and PowerPoint template. I collaborated with the executive speaker, content writer and project manager to develop a deck that fit the presentation style and vision of the speaker.

Case Study

The standard PowerPoint template had a white background while using grays, blues, teal and purple and secondary and tertiary color palette. Due to the nature of many executive presentations and internal corporate events being held in low light rooms, we also developed a black background template with the blue and teal being primary, along with white for text and grays for infographics and more. Through animation, infographics, typographical hierarchy, color, and illustrations, the content came to life so the audience could easily determine where to look and what to remember.

The first step was to meet with the stakeholder, content writer, and project manager. The stakeholder would present their ideas and we would discuss specifics regarding the audience, content, flow, timeline, presentation preferences, and more. Two options would then be provided—either the stakeholder had an existing presentation deck they developed or it was brand new content that needed to be designed for the first time. The content writer would then review the content provided. Once the content was reviewed, the material was passed to me. I reviewed the information and determined best course of action.

If it was a deck clean up, I would confirm the slide clearly presented the main idea. If not, I recommended extending the content to more than one slide. If the deck was created in an older template, I would convert the content to the most recent released template. There would be rounds of revisions before the final deck was signed off and sent through the approval process.

I collaborated with the art director to create the corporate PowerPoint template when branding changed to the current guidelines. The approved template was globally distributed via the intranet.

Most of the time, the presentation decks were created in the standard corporate template. There were times, in between brand guideline updates, where special templates or design themes were created for internal marketing and sales events.
