Why it is not presentable

  • Layout defect: something off the slide, colliding, too small or too faint to read
  • A slide the judges rated as needing work

  • Slide 2: A text box set at 9 pt, too small to read

  1. Slide 1 of Muse Wonder's deck
    Slide 1Polished The recommendation is the key point for this audience, but it is set in small body text at the very bottom and is easy to miss.
  2. Slide 2 of Muse Wonder's deck
    Slide 2Needs work The legend overlaps the first pair of bars; its dark text is difficult to read against the navy bar.The legend sits on top of the Leeds bars, so the dark 'Week 29' and 'Week 36' text collides with the dark bar and is hard to read.
  3. Slide 3 of Muse Wonder's deck
    Slide 3Acceptable The 93% contract floor is mentioned but not drawn as a reference line on the chart.The chart subtitle cites the 93% floor, but no floor line is drawn on the chart.
  4. Slide 4 of Muse Wonder's deck
    Slide 4Polished All bars are the same colour; the late-trunking bar could be highlighted to carry the message.
  5. Slide 5 of Muse Wonder's deck
    Slide 5Acceptable A large blank gap separates the cost table from the proposal explanations, weakening their visual connection.There is a large empty gap between the table and the proposal descriptions, so the left column feels disjointed.
  6. Slide 6 of Muse Wonder's deck
    Slide 6Acceptable Both decision cards are much taller than their content requires, leaving large empty lower areas.The lower half of both cards is empty, especially the large orange 'FUND' card.
