Presentation Design System cover: charcoal ground, gold emblem and a large serif title.
Cover — foundations, sixteen components, ten executive patterns and dark and light master templates.

OVERVIEW

Why it exists.

Presentations in most organisations are designed slide by slide, by whoever builds them. The result is decks that look different from one another, carry their message in the wrong place, and take longer to build than they should.

This system fixes that the way product teams do: decide the foundations once as design tokens, build every slide from a small set of components, and assemble components into proven executive storylines — with master templates that make the right thing the easy thing.

FEATURES

Built so every deck looks like the same organisation made it.

TOKENS

Foundations decided once

Type scale, colour roles in dark and light themes, spacing, a twelve-column grid, hierarchy, density and alignment, as tokens in Excel and JSON.

TEMPLATES

Master templates on real layouts

Dark and light templates with twelve slide layouts built on placeholders and theme colours, so new slides inherit the system.

COMPONENTS

Sixteen slide components

Title to appendix — content, comparison, process, timeline, roadmap, KPI, dashboard, table, chart and more — each with rules in the notes.

PATTERNS

Ten executive storylines

Strategy, performance, transformation, governance, decision, recommendation, risk, roadmap, financial and operational, each with an anchor slide.

GUIDANCE

Before and after, with the reasons

Eight everyday slides rebuilt with the system, and a writing and review guide with a checklist to run before any deck goes out.

ACCESSIBLE

Contrast checked by default

Text colours meet a 4.5:1 contrast ratio in both themes, and the tokens workbook checks any brand colour you substitute.

WHO IT IS FOR

Written for the people who build decks for senior audiences.

  • Executives and Senior Leaders

    Decks that carry their argument in the titles and look consistent wherever they are presented.

  • Chiefs of Staff and Strategy Teams

    A house style and storyline library for the board, executive committee and investor materials.

  • Communications and Brand Teams

    Tokens, templates and rules that let others build on-brand decks without a designer on every slide.

  • Consultants and Analysts

    Components and patterns that turn analysis into executive-ready slides faster.
