🎉 February 2025 Slide of the Month 🎉

Please give Monday Lynn a virtual high-five for a spectacular slide! Monday took the roadmap prompt and developed an inspiring and beautiful slide, “Presentation Polaris”.

"My design this month reflects the presentation design journey behind me, the path I’m currently traveling, and a glimpse into what the future may hold. Inspired by my love of the cosmos and all things celestial, my journey is depicted as a constellation of experiences, with each star representing a milestone that has guided me to where I am today.

I collaborated with ChatGPT to refine content headings and ensure clarity and brevity in the descriptions. All imagery was sourced from free collections on Adobe Stock, PNGtree, and Wikipedia.

Lastly, a cosmic shout-out to the Presentation Guild for the starring role they have played in my growth over the past few years!"

Thank you for sharing your beautiful work, Monday!

I call my submission my 2025 Focus & Shine One-Pager. It takes a playful look at how I'm organizing my high-level business goals over the next year.

I am using my brand colors & tone (playful & creative, yet streamlined & concise) to convey the message. Enjoy! :)

Combining the utilitarian design trend of 2024 with the retro style expected to be on the rise in 2025.

I am really excited about the opportunity to use AI to help develop the concept and imagery for my submission. I wanted to develop a concept that was visually powerful in capturing the imagination of the viewer about the possibilities for accomplishment throughout the year. I wanted the vision statement to be concise, actionable, memorable, and inspirational.

I had an extensive conversation with ChatGPT about everything I wanted to convey in my design. I worked with ChatGPT over a couple of days to refine and combine ideas to coax out a great foundation from which I could work. Not everything ChatGPT suggested was used, but the suggestions did spark some creative ideas with which I toyed around until I reached my final concept. The alliteration of "Dream. Design. Deliver." suggested by ChatGPT really put a nice bow on the impact I wanted my statement to have.

I next moved over to Midjourney to develop the main imagery using some of ChatGPT's ideas. I spent a few hours refining prompts by eliminating and adding concepts. Once Midjourney produced an image that started along the path of where I was going, I continued to refine the prompts for variations of that particular image.

Once I was decided on the image, I began the work of designing the slide. I created about 8-10 different layouts, font options and font pairing experiments, font treatments/effects (in some cases, stacking them). I used a combination of PowerPoint tools such as shapes, point editing, shape and image intersection, and image effects.

This was a really fun piece to pull together. The collaboration between ChatGPT and Midjourney, along with my direction and layout and design experimentation, combined to produce this piece I am proud to share. Thank you!
