Presentation Design

If you're building a deck and want it to look good without overthinking every slide, this gives you a complete design system: dark backgrounds, light font weights at massive sizes, section-specific accent colors, and layout patterns for common slide types like statements, code blocks, data metrics, and dividers. The four-level contrast hierarchy and typography specs are clear enough to just follow. It maps slide purposes to layouts, which is faster than designing from scratch each time. The core insight is sound: impact comes from scale, not bold weights. Use this when you want your slides to feel modern and confident without looking like a startup pitch template everyone's seen before.

Presentation Design

Visual design guidance for bold, minimal presentations optimized for live presenting.

Core Style

Theme: Dark-first, high contrast, minimal (light mode supported) Feel: Modern, confident, tech-forward

Element	Specification
Background	Black (#000000) or near-black; light mode: #fafafa
Primary text	White (#FFFFFF); light mode: #09090b
Secondary text	Gray (#9CA3AF)
Accents	Section-specific colors (see below)
Typography	Sans-serif (e.g. Geist Sans), light weights at large sizes
Letter spacing	Tight (-0.035em to -0.015em)

Typography Hierarchy

Impact comes from scale, not weight. Use light/regular weights (400-600) at massive sizes.

SECTION LABEL     Small caps, section color, tracked wide
                  Example: "THE PROBLEM" | "WHAT WORKS"

Headline          Massive, primary color, light weight (400-500)
                  Fluid sizing via container queries
                  1-5 words per line typical

Subtitle          Smaller, secondary/muted color, regular weight
                  1-2 lines maximum
