How to make it good

This was a handy article with helpful tips to include when doing a pitch presentation, it did feel to me that it was very much on the business side, and I wanted to make sure I was looking at this from a designer perspective, so I looked at this article as well.

This is some of the information I took from this article which I think is important to consider these are making sure your idea comes across the best way as much as possible.

1. Layout matters, one phrase per slide with one sentence to complement the header, keep it less than 20 words per slide.
2. You are telling a story your slides should represent this in the slides.
3. When explaining the problem tell a 3-minute-long story that is about the problem, solution, and why yours fixes it.
4. First impressions matter so make it strong and impactful.
