Aesthetic

We're not saying your slides should look like a Pixar movie... actually, why not?
Imagine smooth animations, vibrant colours, and a design so crisp it deserves an Oscar.
That’s the goal – and don’t worry, you’ll master the art of slide-making with help from the team.

At the very least, your slides should be clean, professional, and visually engaging –
because let’s be real, no one wants to sit through slides that look like they were thrown together in MS Paint at 3 AM.
Good design keeps people engaged and makes information easier to digest.

💡 What this means:

  • Follow the MDN branding kit – we have it for a reason.

  • Keep slides minimalist and visually appealing – the less text the better.

  • Use consistent fonts, colours, and icons – check out our Workshop Pitch Deck
    for an idea of how we do it here at Education.

🔍 Ask yourself:

✅ Are my slides easy to read and visually engaging – have I included enough memes?
✅ Do they match the MDN branding kit?
✅ Would I enjoy looking at these for the duration of the presentation?

🎯 Example:

Instead of a boring title slide, make it pop with animations, bold colours, and large, readable fonts.
And please – for the love of good design – no pixelated images…
unless it’s for meme purposes 😏😈
