A 12-slide studio capabilities deck that pairs oversized grotesque headlines and italic script section tags with alternating sky-blue, white, black, and dreamy 3D-render landscape backgrounds.
Summary
A 12-slide capabilities deck for Mindset Studios (m74.io), a creative studio doing research, brand identity, digital product design and front-end build. Its personality comes from one consistent typographic system laid over wildly varied backgrounds: every slide carries a tiny lowercase utility header, an italic handwritten section tag inside a thin bracket pill, and one oversized lowercase grotesque headline, but the canvas swaps between flat sky-blue, plain white, solid black, and lush surreal 3D-render landscapes.
Visual description
Slides run 16:9. The repeating chrome is minimal and constant: hello@m74.io set small top-left, a two-digit slide number top-right, and a small coral butterfly mark (the m74 / Mindset symbol) bottom-right. Each content slide names its section with an italic script/serif word ("index", "capabilites", "research and strategy", "digital design", "hourly rates", "brand experience", "our team", "types of engagement", "contacts") tucked inside a hairline rounded-bracket pill at upper-left. Headlines are a geometric grotesque sans set very large and lowercase, often three lines deep; sub-topic menus are listed in a row across the top with small superscript numbers (01-05). Body copy sits in a tidy right-hand block of small sans-serif lines. Backgrounds carry the variety: a warm coral-and-sage 3D landscape with a fuzzy red abstract sculpture (cover, engagement, contacts share this surreal CGI world); flat pale sky-blue for the capability and pricing slides, where pricing is a clean four-row table with underlined role labels and prices set in a contrasting high-contrast didone serif; solid black with floating circular team avatars; documentary office and meeting photography with white overlay type; a floating iPhone product mockup; and a cluster of glossy 3D primitives (cylinders, a triangle, a cube) for the brand slide. Quirky data-style annotations recur ("07/06/22", "+15deg 47' 00''", "01h 36m 41.70s", "12+") as small ornaments.
Key takeaway
The single fixed typographic system (utility header, italic bracket-pill section tag, one oversized lowercase headline, superscript sub-menu, butterfly mark) that holds a deck together while the backgrounds change completely underneath it. The italic handwritten section word against an otherwise blunt grotesque is a cheap, memorable contrast move. And mixing a high-contrast didone for the price numbers into an otherwise sans deck makes the figures feel editorial.
Reuse notes
A strong reference for creative-studio, agency, or product-studio capabilities and pricing decks, and for any deck that wants personality from imagery rather than from layout gymnastics. The pricing template (role / function / hourly rate, three columns, hairline dividers) is directly reusable. Leans heavily on owning good assets: the surreal 3D-render landscapes and clean product/office photography do the heavy lifting, so it needs real art direction to land. The script section tags and butterfly mark are bespoke to Mindset; swap them for your own.
