Cover Page Generator

Cover Page Generator

Creates opening/title slides for PowerPoint presentations using PptxGenJS. The cover page sets the tone and first impression.

Layout Options

Code Example: Cover Page

function createSlide(pres, theme) {
  const slide = pres.addSlide();
  slide.background = { color: theme.primary };

  // Main title
  slide.addText("Presentation Title", {
    x: 0.5, y: 1.5, w: 9, h: 1.5,
    fontSize: 54, fontFace: "Arial",
    color: theme.bg, bold: true, align: "center"
  });

  // Subtitle
  slide.addText("Subtitle or tagline here", {
    x: 0.5, y: 3.2, w: 9, h: 0.6,
    fontSize: 24, fontFace: "Arial",
    color: theme.light, align: "center"
  });

  // Bottom info
  slide.addText("Presenter Name | Date", {
    x: 0.5, y: 4.5, w: 9, h: 0.5,
    fontSize: 14, fontFace: "Arial",
    color: theme.light, align: "center"
  });

  return slide;
}
module.exports = { createSlide };

Font Size Hierarchy

Common Pitfalls

• No dramatic contrast: Main title should be at least 2-3x larger than subtitle
• Adjacent sizes too similar: Never let adjacent text elements be within 20% of each other's size
• No page badge on cover: Cover page is the only slide that should NOT have a page number badge
• Missing background: Cover should have a strong background or motif

Verification Checklist

• Main title present and largest element
• Subtitle clearly smaller than title
• No page number badge on cover
• Visual anchor/background present
• Presenter name and date included (if applicable)
