A great pitch deck uses minimal, clean design instead of flashy graphics. Simple layouts, free images from Unsplash, and icons from the Noun Project make it easier to read, edit, and keep on brand across team members with different skills.
Not to say that good design is a handicap or something that you shouldn't be including. The trick really is to keep it minimal, right? If it's not loud, noisy, busy aesthetics, if it's minimal and easy to read, then you're fine, right? Some photos off Unsplash, some icons off Noun Project, some basic minimalist just layouts without a lot of kind of accents or or flair to them, it's both gonna be much easier to, it's gonna be much easier to edit. It's gonna be a lot easier to have other team members edit that maybe don't have a ton of production skills. It's gonna be easier to keep your branding on point and consistent and it's gonna be easier for your audience to read and retain. So on the point of like design and aesthetics, it's a balancing act.
