Case Study: PowerPoint Template for AEC Industry

Creator: Andrew Hanson

1. Positioning

During my internship, I identified a need to streamline presentation creation for AEC industry workers. With my skills in graphic design, web design, and UI/UX, and proficiency in Adobe and Microsoft suites, I designed a PowerPoint template with client-branded master pages. This project demonstrates my ability to create user-friendly design solutions and apply branding effectively.

2. The Brief

The goal was to create a PowerPoint template for AEC industry workers that:

  • Applies master page styles and branding.

  • Is user-friendly for those not well-versed in technology.

  • Automates formatting, allowing users to focus on content.

3. The Process

The design process involved several stages:

  1. Needs Assessment: I recognized that AEC industry workers often need to create presentations but may lack advanced PowerPoint skills. I aimed to simplify the process for them.

  2. Template Design: I designed a PowerPoint template with client-branded master pages, ensuring consistent formatting and branding.

  3. Usability Focus: I made the template user-friendly, so that users only need to input text, with formatting applied automatically.

4. The Solution

The solution was a PowerPoint template with the following key features:

  • Client-branded master pages for consistent design.

  • Automated formatting to simplify the presentation creation process.

  • User-friendly design for AEC industry workers with varying levels of technological expertise.

5. Impact

The PowerPoint template streamlined the presentation creation process for AEC industry workers:

  • Users can now create professional, branded presentations quickly and easily.

  • The template has reduced the time and effort required to format presentations.

  • Clients can maintain brand consistency across all presentations.

This project demonstrates my ability to:

  • Identify user needs and create targeted design solutions.

  • Apply branding effectively in a PowerPoint template.

  • Design user-friendly solutions for people with varying levels of technological expertise.
