MICROSOFT: .NET (presentation template design) 

Situation: Microsoft's .NET team was in need of a cohesive PPT template for all presentations going forward. The goal was to create a custom template that would enhance the presentation experience, providing both dark and light modes, and featuring unique layouts tailored to address specific use cases within the team.

Task: My responsibilities included designing a versatile and visually appealing PowerPoint template that could be easily used by the .NET team for various presentation needs. The template needed to include multiple layouts for different sections to ensure flexibility and consistency in presentations.

Action: I designed the template with a modern and professional aesthetic, incorporating both dark and light modes to cater to different lighting conditions and presenter preferences. Each section of the template was designed with unique layouts to address specific use cases, such as data visualization, text-heavy slides, and image-centric slides. Since .NET has it's own branding, separate from Microsoft's, we had more wiggle room to expand on fun design elements. I ensured that the template was user-friendly and aligned with Microsoft's accessibility guidelines.

Result: The custom PowerPoint template was well-received by the .NET team. It provided a cohesive and polished look for their presentations, making it easier for team members to create impactful and visually consistent presentations. The inclusion of both dark and light modes, along with various unique layouts, enhanced the template's versatility and usability, ultimately contributing to more effective and engaging presentations.
