FORM/SHIFT: a festival deck concept 🎨
I designed a deck for an imagined art and technology festival, and gave myself one rule: every slide should feel like walking into the room.
A few choices that made it work:
→ Two bold colors, no more. Electric blue and acid lime carry the whole system, so even 20+ slides feel like one brand.
→ Big type, few words. “3 days. 24 slots. 4 formats.” tells the story faster than a paragraph ever could.
→ Image and text in balance. One big visual and one clear headline on each slide. Nothing fighting for attention.
→ Built to be edited. Real layouts in PowerPoint, so a team can add slides without breaking the design.
Festivals, events and creative brands live on energy. A flat deck kills it before anyone reads a word.
It’s a self-initiated concept, not a client project. I made it to push my own style beyond corporate decks.
I’m open for new projects this month: pitch decks, event and brand decks, and PowerPoint templates. If you have a deck that needs this kind of energy, send me a message. 👋

Real estate decks are some of my favourite to design. The product already looks good on camera, so the photos carry half the story. The tricky half is the numbers: rental yields and prices per listing have to sit next to a glossy Dubai skyline without killing the mood.
For Elevate Realty I made the numbers visual too. Instead of a plain "93% client satisfaction", the slide shows 100 small figures with 7 of them left grey. Your eye finds the grey ones before it reads the number.
Do you like working with real estate clients?
Love the 93 percent visual, 100 small figures with 7 left grey makes the number land in a way a plain stat never does. Real estate clients definitely respond to that kind of clarity.
Designing a pitch deck for a brand loved by generations đź’™
We designed the “Smurfs Roblox Experience” proposal deck for Magnetik Gameworks, pitching a new Smurfs game on Roblox to Paramount Game Studios.
Pitching a much-loved entertainment brand means the deck has to feel just as fun as the characters, while still presenting a clear plan for content, timelines and marketing.
When you’re pitching to a global entertainment studio, the deck needs to look ready for launch, and this one is.

The tilted slide collage on deep blue with yellow headlines keeps the deck playful and still readable. How many slides did the final pitch have?

This one was for my own agency.
When AnalogFolk grew into AFG, we had five brands that each looked different, and we needed to pitch as one group without losing any of them. I built a shared slide architecture where every brand kept its own type, colour and imagery, but the decks still read as one family.
174 slides across five credentials decks, and a template system the team could use without me.

The small AFG tag in the top-left corner of every slide does a lot of quiet work here. I've built a few multi-brand template systems, and keeping the shared layer that small is always the hardest argument to win. How did the five brand teams take it?
