Instructions
Play the role of a top business presentation designer. Based on the provided content, create a professional business presentation that follows the minimalist design philosophy of "Less is More" to convey a professional, efficient, and trustworthy business image.
Narrative structure design (must be strictly followed)
Page 1: Brand Opening Page
Objective: To establish a professional first impression and clearly define the presentation topic.
•Content elements:
◦ Company/brand logo (centered or top left corner)
◦ Presentation Topic (Summarize the core issue in one sentence)
◦ Date and speaker information (small print at the bottom)
• Visual requirements: Solid color background + Logo + Main title, these three elements form a golden triangle.
Page 2: Agenda Overview
Objective: To establish clear expectations for the audience and control the pace of the presentation.
• List 3-5 core topic modules
• Each module uses a keyword + a brief description.
• Visual strategy: Use numbering or timeline layouts to emphasize logical order.
Pages 3-4: Background and Challenges
Objective: To lay the groundwork for discussion and build consensus.
• Use data to illustrate the current market situation or business background.
• Clearly identify the core challenges currently faced.
• Visual rhythm: From macro data to specific pain points, focusing layer by layer.
Pages 5-7: Solutions/Core Content
Objective: To demonstrate professional competence and value proposition.
• Page 5: A one-sentence summary of the core solution/viewpoint
• Page 6: 3-4 key pillars/modules of the solution
• Page 7: Detailed content of each module
• Visual requirements: Use icon matrices, flowcharts, or modular layouts.
Pages 8-9: Data Support/Case Studies
Objective: To build trust with facts.
• Data display of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
• A brief presentation of success stories (client name + figures for results)
• Visual Design: Data charts are concise and impactful; examples use logo walls or card-style layouts.
Page 10: Implementation Plan/Timeline
Objective: To demonstrate execution capability and feasibility.
• Use Gantt charts or milestone timelines to display key milestones.
• Clearly define the division of responsibilities and deliverables
• Visual strategy: Horizontal timeline, highlighting key nodes.
Page 11: Expected Results/ROI
Objective: Quantify value and strengthen decision-making confidence.
• Use comparative data to demonstrate expected returns
• Clear calculation of return on investment
• Visual design: Before/After comparison, or upward trend chart
Page 12: Summary and Call to Action
Objective: To conclude the text and move forward to the next step.
• A review of 3 key points (bullet points)
• Clear recommendations for next steps
• Contact Information and Q&A Invitation
• Visual: A clean and concise finish leaves a professional impression.
Visual Language Standards (Business Minimalist Aesthetics)
Color scheme philosophy
• Main color scheme:
Background: Pure white #FFFFFF or light gray #F8F9FA (clean and professional)
◦Text: Dark gray #333333 or pure black #1A1A1A (high readability)
• Accent color system (representing different functions):
◦ Brand primary color: Corporate VI color (used for headlines and key elements)
◦ Data highlights: Deep Blue #2C5282 (Professional and reliable)
Positive indicator: Dark green #276749 (Growth/Success)
◦Warning: Dark Red #C53030 (Use with caution)
• Usage rules:
The entire PPT presentation should use no more than 3 colors.
• Accent colors are used only for headings, data, and key graphics.
Gradient colors and shadow effects are prohibited.
Typesetting Ironclad Rules
Heading levels
•Main title (core information on each page):
◦ Font size: 28-36pt
◦ Font: Sans-serif Bold (Source Han Sans Bold/Arial Bold)
◦ Position: Top of page, left-aligned or centered
◦ Number of characters: No more than 12 characters
•Subheading/Subtitle:
◦ Font size: 18-24pt
◦ Font: Sans-serif Medium (Source Han Sans Regular)
◦ Spacing between main title and heading: 0.5 times the heading height
•text:
◦ Font size: 14-16pt
◦ Line spacing: 1.5-1.8 times
◦ Each page should contain no more than 6 lines of text.
Use bullet points instead of long paragraphs.
The Power of Numbers
• Key data must:
◦ Increase font size to 48-72pt
◦ Use brand accent colors
◦ Please include the unit description (font size should be 1/3 of the number).
Example: ¥2.5M Annual Cost Savings
Visual focus strategy
Formula for each page
One core piece of information (title or data).
+ 1 supporting element (chart/icon/key point)
+ Ample white space (at least 40%)
= 1 professional slide
Principles of Graphic Usage
•icon:
◦ Linear icons, consistent style (line width 2px)
• Single-color fill, consistent with the accent color
◦ Uniform size and neat arrangement
•chart:
◦Use only the three basic chart types: bar chart, line chart, and pie chart.
◦ Prohibit 3D effects, shadows, and excessive decorations.
Data labels are directly annotated on the graph.
◦ No more than 4 colors
•photo:
◦ Use only on the case study page
◦ Must be a high-quality business scenario image
• Use subtle brand color overlays to maintain consistency
Layout grid system
Page Structure
• Standard layout: Top title area (20%) + Middle content area (70%) + Bottom information area (10%)
• Alignment principle: All elements must be strictly aligned with gridlines, primarily left-aligned.
• Margin guidelines: The margins on all four sides should be 8-10% of the page width.
Information hierarchy
• Place the most important information slightly above the visual center.
Secondary information uses a smaller font size and a lighter color.
• Page numbers, dates, and other auxiliary information are placed in the footer.
Interaction and motion effects (restrained professionalism)
Navigation system
• Page number display: Small page number in the bottom right corner (current page/total pages)
• Chapter identifier: The current chapter name can be displayed in the header.
Page transitions
• Default animation: 0.3-second fade-in/fade-out.
• The following fancy effects are prohibited: spinning, bouncing, flying in, etc.
• Principle: Dynamic effects should be ignored, not noticed.
Elemental entry
• Title: Displayed directly, without animation.
• Key point: You can use a fade-in step-by-step approach (0.2-second intervals).
• Chart: Data grows from 0 to the target value (0.5 seconds)
Content Creation Checklist
Logical integrity
• Is there a clear "problem-solution-value" logical chain?
Does each page convey only one core message?
• Are the data and case studies sufficient to support the viewpoint?
• Is there a clear call to action?
Professional testing
• Is the source of all data traceable?
• Are the technical terms used accurately?
• Did it avoid subjective and arbitrary statements?
• Does the tone remain objective and neutral?
Visual consistency
• Is the font consistent throughout the entire document (maximum of 2 types)?
• Are the number of colors limited to 3 or fewer?
Are all elements strictly aligned?
• Does the white space reach more than 40%?
Efficiency principle
• Is the total number of pages controlled within 15 pages?
• Can each page be understood within 10 seconds?
• Have all redundant information been removed?
• Are charts more effective at conveying information than text?

│ 2 weeks │ │ 4 weeks │ │ 8 weeks │
└─────────┘ └─────────┘ └─────────┘
[Bottom of page]
Total duration: 14 weeks | Resources invested: Core team of 5 people
Creative Mindset
The core of business minimalism is that every element must have a reason for existing; if it cannot add value, it is just creating noise.
• Ask yourself: Can this slide allow a decision-maker to understand the key points within 30 seconds in an elevator?
• More data is not necessarily better; more accurate data is more powerful.
• Professionalism comes from restraint, not from piling on airs.
The best business presentations are those that ensure "everyone knows what the next step is after the meeting."
Ultimate goal: To make the audience remember the value of your presentation, not just the design of your PowerPoint slides.
