Why it is not presentable

  • Layout defect: something off the slide, colliding, too small or too faint to read

In detail

  • Slide 4: A body text box set at 11.5 pt, too small to read

  2. Slide 2 of Gemini 4 Argon's deck
    Slide 2Download slide imageAcceptable The short table beside the much taller chart leaves a large unused area beneath the table, making the body layout uneven.Large empty white area below the table on the left leaves the layout unbalanced
  3. Slide 3 of Gemini 4 Argon's deck
    Slide 3Download slide imageAcceptable The two explanatory panels are text-heavy, with several multiline bullets that require sustained reading.The '18.2' data label sits very close to the chart title, which feels cramped

    Slide 4Download slide imageAcceptable The cards contain substantial bullet text; shorter supporting points would make the allocation rationale easier to scan.The three cards are much taller than their content, leaving large empty lower halves
  5. Slide 5 of Gemini 4 Argon's deck
    Slide 5Download slide imageAcceptable The value labels above the Meta bars run together as '£540£560'; the Affiliates labels similarly run together as '£300£320'. Reposition or stagger these labels.Large empty space below the table on the right leaves the layout unbalanced
