Narrative Arc Design
Every great presentation follows a conflict-resolution arc:
- Status quo: how things are today (audience recognizes this)
- Conflict: the problem, gap, or opportunity that changes everything
- Resolution: your solution, strategy, or recommendation
- New world: the outcome if they act on your recommendation
Deck Flow Patterns
Investor Pitch (10 slides)
Problem → Solution → Market → Traction → Business Model → GTM → Competition → Team → Financials → Ask
Board Strategy Deck
Context → Performance vs Plan → Key Issues → Options → Recommendation → Resource Ask → Appendix
Executive Update
Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF) → Context → Detail → Decision Needed → Next Steps
Per-Slide Structure
Every slide has one job. Structure:
- Headline: full sentence stating the insight (not a topic label)
- Bad: 'Market Size'
- Good: 'The $40B market is underserved — no player has > 5% share'
- Body: 3 supporting points maximum (rule of three)
- Visual: one chart or image that proves the headline
- Speaker notes: context, data source, anticipated questions
Chart Selection Guide
| Goal | Chart Type |
|---|---|
| Comparison | Bar chart |
| Trend over time | Line chart |
| Part-of-whole | Donut chart (< 5 segments) |
| Correlation | Scatter plot |
| Distribution | Histogram |
| Ranking | Horizontal bar |
| Geographic | Map |
| Process flow | Diagram / flowchart |
Never use: 3D charts, pie charts with > 5 slices, dual-axis charts without explicit explanation.
Design Principles
- One visual focus per slide — where do eyes go first?
- White space is not wasted space — it creates visual hierarchy
- Font sizes: title 28-36pt, body 18-24pt, notes 14pt (never below 14)
- Color: 2-3 brand colors + dark text + white/light background
- Alignment: strict grid alignment (use snap-to-grid)
- Animation: only when it adds meaning (building a chart, showing a process) — no flying logos
