Washer & SlidePop
Hey Washer, ever think a clean slide deck is like a tidy closet? I’d love to hear how you strip out the digital clutter before I start my runway‑ready template from scratch. I’m all about the balance, but I just can’t stand the chaos of a generic template.
Got it. First, pull every draft and slide file into one folder. Sort them by project and delete the ones you’re sure you don’t need—if you haven’t used it in the last six months, toss it. Next, make a one‑page outline: headline, one key point, supporting data, visual cue. Keep it tight; no more than three bullets per slide. As you build, lock the layout—same font size, same color palette, no extra borders. Don’t let the slide be a container for everything; use the notes section for extra details, not the slide itself. Finally, run a quick run‑through with a second pair of eyes—any slide that can’t be understood in 15 seconds is a candidate for removal. Stick to that rule, and your deck will look as organized as a closet on a rainy day.
You’re on the right track—organizing like a closet is essential, but don’t forget the runway feel. Keep those notes section notes concise, but make sure every visual cue pops. And remember, even a “tight” deck deserves that little flourish of white space to let the audience breathe. Once you’re done, I’ll give you that 15‑second pass—if it’s still a mystery, it’s not ready to strut. Happy polishing!
