Presentation Design
A Minimal & Bold Presentation
Emerald Talent needed a presentation that matched the rest of the brand and website I designed for them, and it needed to be visually striking. The client received the final template in both PowerPoint and Google Slides formats for complete freedom of presentation creation. View the Presentation up close as a PDF.

Emerald Talent was a team that set out to take on the staffing and recruiting technology world on its own. They needed an essential asset, a presentation design template, to start making presentations with their new brand and look.
For this presentation, I made sure first and foremost that the presentation file itself would be completely user-friendly. This included designing all slides in the Slide Master, as theme slides with placeholders. In each slide layout I designed, I wrote out what type of text would go in each textbox on each slide (for example, stating where to type headlines, sub-headlines, stats, bullet points, etc.). I then added icons, placeholder boxes for adding their icons, various funnel slides, and even added a slide of extra graphics and logos. Finally, I embedded all brand fonts and added their brand palette to the color theme so anyone could create a branded presentation.
After getting the user-friendliness prepped, I added design flair such as Emerald Talent's floating transparent white squares to highlight section slide text, black to transparent gradient blocks, slides with contrasting dark and light themes, and slanted rectangles to frame in section slide text. The result was a minimal, yet bold presentation that anyone with any skill level could pick up and export a beautifully branded presentation.
