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 😏😈
