Ideas for Creating Minimalist PowerPoint and Google Slides Presentations
I’m sure you’ve had to prepare a presentation and the deadline you were given was very tight. Slidesgo has a great collection of templates that will save you a lot of editing time!
You may also have thought, “What if I include fewer things on the slides?”. You may feel like that might oversimplify them, but nothing could be further from the truth! In fact, if you opt for a minimalist style, it may even be a way to give your presentation a more modern touch.
If you want to know how you can take advantage of this style to make the saying “less is more” a reality, in this article we will show you several of our downloadable minimalist templates from which you can borrow many ideas.
Off-White Design Project Proposal
The first template of all, “Off-White Design Project Proposal“, is all about simplicity and efficiency, especially if you are in the business sector. To launch a new proposal successfully, you need to be convincing and your ideas need to be innovative. If you start with this cover slide, everyone will see that you mean business.
It will also be necessary, particularly if you are looking for partners or investors, to present your company and what it does. There is no need to beat around the bush or confuse the audience: get to the point and let the combination of fonts and the shape on the right be what draws attention.
If the project involves manufacturing a new product, a slide like this one is ideal. You have plenty of room to add a picture of a prototype instead of the star you see here. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words!
Elegant Cream Ellipse Portfolio
Portfolios allow you to show your work in an organized and clean way. You can select your best creations and surprise potential clients. Making it in the form of a presentation is quite original, and the “Elegant Cream Ellipse Portfolio” template comes in handy.
Cream backgrounds bring a bit of temperance and are not as neutral as white or gray ones. This, for example, might suit you if you want to convey a certain impression by including a quote from someone famous.
An important detail in any portfolio is, just like in a CV, including your work experience. You can opt for something like what we show you in this image. Clarity and concision, those are the two keys. On the right, you can also add some merits or awards you have achieved. Have you noticed the trophy-shaped icons?
Giany
If you are looking for elegance in all its splendor, the “Giany” template is the right one. Besides the contrast between a serif and a sans serif font, the use of photos with beautiful elements such as flowers makes the audience “fall in love” with your presentation. The distribution of textual elements is quite balanced in this slide.
Do you want to send a short but powerful message that will leave everyone enthralled? As we always say, images are a very effective resource. The color palette also helps, as this mix of white and pinkish tones gives a greater emotional sensitivity to your speech.
Yes, this presentation is based on the potential of photos. But we cannot forget about infographics, as they help simplify the data represented. And if we combine both elements, what can go wrong?
HR Services Business Plan
We move on to the “HR Services Business Plan” template. This department is very important in any company! If the audience needs more information about the topic, just include a slide like the one you have just seen to solve the doubt from the beginning!
Every business has competition in the market. This slide shows, as an example, three rival companies and a brief description of them. Each occupies an equal space on the screen and the emphasis is on the most important aspects of each one. The shapes can be replaced by the respective logos of these competitors to further personalize the comparison.
When you need to transition to a new section of the presentation, try an approach like this: balanced and direct. The typography adds professionalism and the image contextualizes. There is no need to use flashy or overloaded backgrounds when, with just this concrete design, you can achieve an even better result.
Dark & Soft Gradients Pitch Deck
To make your way in the business environment, your product must meet the needs of the target audience. We now show you the “Dark & Soft Gradients Pitch Deck” template. If you have identified the possible “problem” that these people have and your product or service is the right one to solve it, pitch it directly. In the image, you can see an example of how to present this “problem”.
Now look at this other image. You will have already noticed that the main features of this template are precisely in its name: the dark backgrounds and the contrast with the overlapping “sheets of paper”, together with subtle gradients. And notice how, with such a simple geometry, a SWOT analysis can be explained.
Timelines help you explain concepts in chronological order. Do you want to give details about the history of the company? Or perhaps how the development of an idea evolved? Use them with confidence, as we show you in this slide.
