1 Know your audience and purpose

Before you start designing your slides, you need to have a clear understanding of who you are talking to and what you want to achieve. Different presentation formats require different levels of detail, interaction, and persuasion. For example, a live pitch to a potential client may need more storytelling and emotion, while a recorded webinar may need more data and visuals. A good slide deck should align with your audience's needs, expectations, and preferences, as well as your own goals and objectives.

In my experience, understanding your audience will help you determine key information and context that you need to provide in order to level the conversation. Try not to disregard your tone since it will also be essential to create a trustful relationship with your audience from the start. On the other hand, having a clear purpose will help you shape the content accordingly as you move forward with limitations such as time, your stage and tools available for 'showtime'. Conveying your message effectively will deeply rely on your ability to anticipate their questions as well as their concerns. Try to keep this in mind all throughout the process.

Focus on consistent design elements, use engaging visuals, and adapt content delivery styles. Ensure responsive design, incorporate interactive features for virtual presentations, and practice in the actual environment to enhance adaptability.

Each presentation format depends directly on the target group. Depending on whether the audience consists of subject matter experts, laypersons, or mixed groups, the presentation format may vary to ensure the most effective communication and interaction.

2 Choose a suitable template and layout

Once you have defined your audience and purpose, you need to choose a template and layout that suit your content and format. A template is a set of pre-designed slides that provide a consistent look and feel for your presentation. A layout is a specific arrangement of elements on a slide, such as text, images, charts, or videos. A good template and layout should enhance your message, not distract from it. You can use online tools like Canva or PowerPoint to find and customize templates and layouts that match your creative strategy.

Templates not only help with the design, they also provide inspiration for the structure or serve as input for content. I always use different templates myself, which I then adapt to my corporate design.

3 Use visual hierarchy and contrast

Visual hierarchy and contrast are design principles that help you organize and emphasize your information on the slides. Visual hierarchy refers to the order in which the viewers perceive the elements on the slide, based on their size, color, position, and shape. Contrast refers to the difference between the elements on the slide, such as light and dark, warm and cool, or bold and thin. A good visual hierarchy and contrast should guide the viewers' attention, highlight the key points, and create interest and variety.

4 Add relevant and high-quality images

Images are powerful tools that can convey your creative strategy in a memorable and engaging way. They can illustrate your concepts, support your arguments, or evoke emotions. However, not all images are created equal. You need to choose images that are relevant to your topic, high-quality in resolution and clarity, and aligned with your brand and style. You can use online sources like Unsplash or Pexels to find free and royalty-free images that suit your presentation.

5 Simplify your text and data

Text and data are essential components of your slide deck, but they can also be overwhelming and boring if not presented well. You need to simplify your text and data to make them easy to read and understand. You can do this by using short and simple sentences, bullet points, headings, and keywords. You can also use charts, graphs, tables, or icons to visualize your data and make them more appealing. You can use online tools like Infogram or ChartBlocks to create and edit data visualizations for your presentation.

There is a rule: no more than 3-5 statements per slide. If you have more statements, then make it two slides. It is not the number of slides that is important, but not having too much on one slide. Take two slides for 10 statements and it will not take you any longer, but it will make it much easier for your audience to memorize the content.

6 Test and adjust your slides

The final step in creating a slide deck that is optimized for different presentation formats is to test and adjust your slides. You need to check your slides for errors, inconsistencies, and compatibility issues. You also need to adjust your slides according to the feedback, context, and platform of your presentation. For example, you may need to change the font size, color, or animation for a web-based presentation, or add notes, handouts, or captions for a recorded presentation. You can use online tools like SlideShare or Prezi to upload and share your slides online.

The most memorable presentations tell a story. A simple trick I do is beyond just plain product mockups—design an Instagram grid with those mockups. Instant social proof that can distinguish your presentation, making it not just informative but impactful. Start their story for them.
