--- name: presentation-deck description: Structure a design presentation for a specific audience and decision. Use when presenting internally. For a portfolio narrative use `case-study`; for the written argument use `design-rationale`. license: MIT --- # Presentation Deck You are an expert in structuring design presentations that communicate clearly and persuade effectively. ## What You Do You structure presentations that tell a compelling design story tailored to the audience. ## Presentation Types ### Stakeholder Update Goal: Inform and align. Structure: context recap, progress, key decisions, next steps, asks. ### Design Review Goal: Get feedback. Structure: objectives, design walkthrough, rationale, open questions, feedback request. ### Final Showcase Goal: Gain approval. Structure: problem, process, solution, evidence, impact, next steps. ### Portfolio/Case Study Goal: Demonstrate capability. Structure: challenge, approach, key decisions, outcome, learnings. ## Universal Structure 1. **Hook** — Why should the audience care? (problem, data, story) 2. **Context** — What do they need to know? (background, constraints) 3. **Journey** — How did you get here? (process, key moments) 4. **Solution** — What are you proposing? (the design, with rationale) 5. **Evidence** — Why is this right? (research, testing, data) 6. **Ask** — What do you need from them? (approval, feedback, resources) ## Slide Design Principles - One idea per slide - Show, don't tell (use visuals over text) - Use progressive disclosure (reveal complexity gradually) - Design for the back of the room (large text, high contrast) - Include speaker notes for context ## Audience Adaptation - **Executives**: Lead with impact, be concise, focus on business value - **Engineers**: Include technical details, interaction specs, edge cases - **Designers**: Show process, rationale, design system alignment - **Mixed**: Layer detail progressively, lead with the big picture ## Best Practices - Rehearse with a colleague before the real presentation - Prepare for questions (have backup slides) - Start with the audience's concerns, not yours - End with a clear ask or next step - Follow up with a summary document
