Represent
Every graduate leaves heading somewhere different.He was keeping the talk mostly as it was. The brief was to bring the deck in line with Represent's current look and feel, and to turn what had been a static deck into something fun and playful, with the kind of motion he'd seen in mine.
The deck needed to match Represent's current identity, so I rebuilt it from their colours, brand shapes and typeface. Their homepage has a short interactive moment where visitors can drag the brand shapes around. That became the idea for the whole deck: the same shapes, moving under physics on every slide.
Each slide carries one idea, and the layout had to hold a one-word topic like AI as well as a full salary table. The numbered bar along the bottom tracks the talk from 01 to 17, so the room always knows how far in the speaker is. I also moved the deck from 4:3 to 16:9 to fill the widescreen displays it would be shown on.
Each slide opens with a short burst of motion that catches the room's attention as it appears. The shapes move in a way that plays out the slide's topic, then come to rest. The deck holds on that final frame instead of looping, so nothing is moving while the speaker talks.
The movement was simulated in After Effects rather than keyframed, so every shape carries real weight and momentum. Each animation was rendered to video and embedded in the Figma file the deck is presented from.
Since then it has been shown on everything from a classroom TV to a full video wall. It runs from Figma, so whoever is presenting can open it on the machine in the room without losing the motion.
