PPTX

PPTX – Presentation Production

Overview

Build presentation decks that communicate clearly in 5–10 seconds per slide. Favor restraint, strong hierarchy, and consistent design over flashy effects.

When to Use

• User requests slides, a deck, presentation, pitch, or .pptx
• Content needs to be presented visually to an audience
• Executive summaries, project updates, proposals, or training materials

Core Principles

• One main idea per slide
• Strong visual hierarchy (title → key point → supporting detail)
• Consistent alignment, spacing, and margins across the entire deck
• Limited color palette and font set
• Prefer solid fills and simple shapes over heavy gradients and shadows
• Readable from a distance (sufficient font sizes and contrast)
• Avoid walls of text — use short bullets, diagrams, or visuals

Recommended Structure

1. Title slide
2. Agenda / agenda-lite (optional)
3. Problem or context
4. Key insights or solution
5. Supporting detail / evidence
6. Next steps or call to action
7. Appendix (if needed)

Design Rules of Thumb

• Title: 28–40 pt
• Body: 18–24 pt
• Maximum ~6–8 lines of text per slide
• Generous whitespace
• Align elements to a grid
• Use icons sparingly and consistently

Verification

• Deck tells a coherent story when clicked through quickly
• Every slide has a clear takeaway
• Layout is consistent from slide to slide
• Text is readable and high-contrast
• No overlapping elements or cut-off text
• File is saved as .pptx

Common Pitfalls

• Too much text per slide
• Inconsistent alignment and spacing
• Decorative elements that compete with content
• Low-contrast text or icons
