Your slides are walls of bullet points because you don't know how to make data visual. You want the kind of clean, impactful layouts you see in McKinsey decks but your design skills start and end with changing font sizes.

Who it's for: business professionals who need visually polished presentations, consultants creating client-facing deliverables, executives preparing board presentations, marketing teams designing campaign pitch decks, anyone who makes presentations but isn't a designer

Example

"Design visuals for my quarterly business review presentation" → Layout specifications for 20 slides: data visualization recommendations for each metric, color palette, icon suggestions, chart type selections, and before/after mockups showing how to transform bullet slides into visual stories

Tips

  1. Kill bullet points - Use visuals instead
  2. One number per slide - Make data memorable
  3. Full-bleed images - Go edge-to-edge
  4. Dark backgrounds - Stand out in dim rooms
  5. Consistent icons - Same style throughout
  6. Animate purposefully - Support story, don't distract
  7. Leave margins - Content shouldn't touch edges
  8. Test on projector - Colors look different

Limitations

  • Cannot create actual PPTX files directly
  • Cannot generate images
  • Design specs need implementation
  • Complex animations need manual setup
