Questions

How is this different from the other pitch deck?

This one is dark and keynote-like: near-black pages, a blue glass ribbon behind each one and very large white type. The lighter, violet pitch deck suits calmer audiences.

Why does every dark page need its own ribbon?

The ribbon is the backdrop that makes each page feel distinct. The style comes with seven, one for each dark page in the reference order; added pages need a new one.

Can the team page show separate portraits?

Yes. By default one group picture is sliced across three windows; with three separate portraits the deck resets the slicing for each window.

Does the dark design print well?

It prints, but it uses a lot of ink. For handouts, export the PowerPoint or a PDF and consider the light roadmap page as the model.
