How to Make a Minimalist Presentation Link to heading

Do you struggle to keep your presentations on a single visual theme? I personally waste a lot of time when making presentations fussing over the small visual details to ensure continuity. Then someone pointed out that if you make you presentations mostly black and white, with maybe splashes of colour to show emphasis can be a powerful way of visually building a presentation. There was always one roadblock to this approach for me however - where to get any icon of a similar design for free on the internet. ChatGPT is the obvious go to so I put it to work making some images for my presentation. By leveraging AI, you can generate a suite of matching visuals that can transform your presentation. Here’s how I did it for my latest project.

Step 1: Define Your Theme Link to heading

Start by choosing your base colors. Black and white are perfect for the background and primary content.

Step 2: Add Splashes of Color Link to heading

Use color sparingly to draw attention to key points. This could be for your call to action, important statistics, or to highlight changes in topics.

Step 3: Generate Custom Icons Link to heading

This is where ChatGPT shines. Requesting icons in a specific style yields personalised results, like these:

Fig 1. Minimalist graph icon

Fig 2. Stylized tree icon

Fig 3. Network-style brain icon

Step 4: Construct Your Slides Link to heading

With your custom icons, build your slides. Keep text to a minimum and let the visuals speak for you.

Take a step back, review your slides, and refine as needed. Less is often more, so don’t be afraid to remove elements that don’t add value.
