Prompt
Add Your Brief

Add your context below. It will be included with the prompt when you copy or download.

Create an editable HTML presentation with a 16:9 canvas, previous/next buttons, arrow-key navigation, a slide counter and a one-slide-per-page print layout for [PROJECT] and [AUDIENCE]. The task is: Budget Proposal Deck.

Required content and structure

Show objectives, cost categories, alternatives, assumptions and approval decisions.

Use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source of names, dates, figures, claims and destinations. List missing inputs before substituting anything. If a demonstration is needed, label its content as fictional. Do not invent customer quotes, rankings, partner logos or product capabilities.

Design direction

Use [BRAND_RULES] and the design system already selected in the project. If no system is supplied, start with this direction: white, midnight navy and restrained blue; strong alignment and simple evidence diagrams. Keep type, spacing and color roles consistent. Prioritize the task over decorative elements and avoid a generic collection of unrelated cards.

Content preparation

Gather objectives, cost categories, quantities, rates, recurring charges and alternatives. Record assumptions and the approval decisions needed.

Layout and behavior

Show the relationship between spending and planned work. Separate one-time costs from recurring commitments and provide a total that can be traced to the detail.

Task-specific acceptance check

  • Keep one-time and recurring costs separate and reconcile totals.
  • Recalculate subtotals and compare periods.
  • A monthly subscription and an annual contract should not be added as though they share the same time basis.

Implementation and review

Keep text editable. Use semantic structure, descriptive controls, visible keyboard focus and appropriate empty/error states. Check narrow and wide layouts. Respect reduced-motion preferences. Preserve any existing project framework and dependencies; do not silently replace the stack. Return the editable files and explain any incomplete behavior or unsupported inputs. Review this specific task before proposing extra features.

Keep one main idea per slide. Use charts only when actual comparable values are supplied; include units, source dates and limitations. Keep speaker notes separate from visible slide content.

Reference attachment and reconstruction goal

Attach reference.webp from this prompt’s download bundle alongside this prompt in OpenDesign. Build an editable result with a similar composition and hierarchy; do not embed the whole reference image as the finished interface. Preserve approved project content and brand rules if they conflict with fictional sample labels. If the image is missing or unreadable, ask for it instead of claiming visual fidelity.

Reference composition and content

Use the attached reference.webp as the visual reference for Budget Proposal Deck. Before building, identify the major regions from top to bottom, their relative widths and heights, alignment, spacing, typography hierarchy, surface colors, borders, imagery and repeated components. Preserve those relationships rather than substituting a generic template. Required task content: Show objectives, cost categories, alternatives, assumptions and approval decisions. Use the following task-specific layout guidance when translating the image into editable elements: Show the relationship between spending and planned work. Separate one-time costs from recurring commitments and provide a total that can be traced to the detail.

Visual direction from the example brief

white, midnight navy and restrained blue; strong alignment and simple evidence diagrams.

Slide structure and presentation behavior

Recreate the slide composition as editable title, body, visual and annotation elements. A pictured slide is one view, not evidence of a complete deck. Use the supplied narrative to build any requested additional slides; preserve its typography, margins, color roles and alignment. Show the relationship between spending and planned work. Separate one-time costs from recurring commitments and provide a total that can be traced to the detail. Keep navigation outside exported slide content. Keep one-time and recurring costs separate and reconcile totals.

Visual comparison and delivery

  1. Compare the result with the attached image at matching proportions. Review major region placement, relative image sizes, line breaks, spacing, typography hierarchy, contrast, active states and content density before polishing decorative details.
  2. Then test the narrow layout without squeezing desktop text into tiny labels.
  3. Keep logos, photos and icons as separate assets and all meaningful labels editable. List any unavailable fonts/assets and any intentional departures. Return the working files plus a concise account of implemented behavior and remaining integrations; do not promise a pixel-identical result from the prompt alone.

Adapting the reference to slide dimensions

The attached visual reference is a 3:2 concept image, while the requested presentation uses 16:9 slides. Recompose its text, images, charts and spacing as separate editable elements on a 16:9 canvas. Do not stretch the reference or crop the whole composition to force a match. Preserve the hierarchy, keep the supplied content readable, and adapt each slide to its own message.

How to Write a Budget Proposal Deck Design Prompt

Use this budget proposal deck design prompt to show objectives, cost categories, alternatives, assumptions and approval decisions.

The reference is an AI-generated concept. The instructions below describe what to build and test; the image does not demonstrate working behavior.

Build a Reconciled Cost Story

A budget proposal needs a decision about resources, supported by costs that add up.

AI-generated visual concept for budget proposal deck
Budget Proposal Deck — compare the overall hierarchy with the layout instructions below.

Keep one-time implementation and recurring operation visible as different commitments. Show the relationship between spending and planned work. Separate one-time costs from recurring commitments and provide a total that can be traced to the detail.

From the Prompt

Show the relationship between spending and planned work.

Make It Your Own

Show [OBJECTIVE], proposed [COST_CATEGORIES] and alternatives. Separate one-time and recurring costs, state the budget period and reconcile every category with the requested total.

Prepare the Budget Proposal Deck Content

Objectives sit beside a table separating one-time and recurring costs. Prepare currencies, periods and totals explicitly so the compact table remains interpretable.

Budget objectives and cost table in the Budget Proposal Deck reference
Budget objectives and cost table.

Gather objectives, cost categories, quantities, rates, recurring charges and alternatives. Record assumptions and the approval decisions needed.

From the Prompt

Show objectives, cost categories, alternatives, assumptions and approval decisions.

Make It Your Own

For [PROJECT], use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source for this budget proposal deck. Gather objectives, cost categories, quantities, rates, recurring charges and alternatives. Record assumptions and the approval decisions needed. Identify missing inputs before replacing them with demonstration content.

Check a Changed Assumption

The lower area compares three options, lists assumptions and closes with approval decisions. Verify the recommendation against the cost model and name what each approval authorizes.

Alternatives, assumptions and approval sequence in the Budget Proposal Deck reference
Alternatives, assumptions and approval sequence.

Change one recurring cost or the duration. The revised total and approval request should agree, with the assumption visible rather than buried in a footnote. Recalculate subtotals and compare periods. A monthly subscription and an annual contract should not be added as though they share the same time basis.

From the Prompt

Keep one-time and recurring costs separate and reconcile totals.

Make It Your Own

Review the budget proposal deck against this requirement: Keep one-time and recurring costs separate and reconcile totals. Recalculate subtotals and compare periods. A monthly subscription and an annual contract should not be added as though they share the same time basis. Preserve approved content and revise only the parts that fail this check.

Review Your Budget Proposal Deck Result

A generated image cannot validate a complete deck or its evidence. Test every slide, keyboard navigation, print layout and any exported file separately.

  • Recalculate subtotals and compare periods. A monthly subscription and an annual contract should not be added as though they share the same time basis.

Follow-Up Prompt

Use this after the first result. It narrows the revision to the most important part of this task.

Refine the current budget proposal deck. Recalculate subtotals and compare periods. A monthly subscription and an annual contract should not be added as though they share the same time basis. Preserve the approved content and visual direction; change only the parts needed to resolve these issues.
