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: Portfolio Presentation.

Required content and structure

Introduce the designer, select projects, explain roles and connect decisions to outcomes.

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: ivory, charcoal and a single lime accent; oversized headlines, deliberate whitespace and clear information hierarchy. Keep type, spacing and color roles consistent. Prioritize the task over decorative elements and avoid a generic collection of unrelated cards.

Content preparation

Choose projects that demonstrate the work relevant to the audience. Prepare your role, collaborators, constraints, decisions, artifacts and evidence of outcomes for each one.

Layout and behavior

Give each project a short story rather than equal-sized image galleries. Use a consistent sequence for context, contribution and result while letting the work's strongest evidence lead.

Task-specific acceptance check

  • Preserve collaborators' credit and distinguish shipped work from concepts.
  • Check that project credits remain visible and that shipped work is distinguishable from concepts.
  • Remove claims of sole authorship where the result depended on a team.

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 Portfolio Presentation. 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: Introduce the designer, select projects, explain roles and connect decisions to outcomes. Use the following task-specific layout guidance when translating the image into editable elements: Give each project a short story rather than equal-sized image galleries. Use a consistent sequence for context, contribution and result while letting the work's strongest evidence lead.

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. Give each project a short story rather than equal-sized image galleries. Use a consistent sequence for context, contribution and result while letting the work's strongest evidence lead. Keep navigation outside exported slide content. Preserve collaborators' credit and distinguish shipped work from concepts.

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.

Adapt the reference to the slide canvas

The attached reference image uses a 3:2 composition. Recompose its editable text, shapes and separate image assets onto the requested 16:9 slide canvas. Preserve hierarchy and readable spacing by adjusting the layout; do not stretch the reference or crop essential content to force it into 16:9. Treat this single concept as a visual direction, not as a completed multi-slide deck.

How to Write a Portfolio Presentation Design Prompt

Use this portfolio presentation design prompt to introduce the designer, select projects, explain roles and connect decisions to outcomes.

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

Explain the Designer's Contribution

A portfolio presentation should connect selected work to the decisions the designer actually made.

AI-generated visual concept for portfolio presentation
Portfolio Presentation — compare the overall hierarchy with the layout instructions below.

The audience needs role, constraints and evidence alongside the finished visuals. Give each project a short story rather than equal-sized image galleries. Use a consistent sequence for context, contribution and result while letting the work's strongest evidence lead.

From the Prompt

Give each project a short story rather than equal-sized image galleries.

Make It Your Own

For each [PROJECT], show the problem, your role, collaborators, key decision and supported outcome. Label concept work separately from shipped work.

Prepare the Portfolio Presentation Content

The lead project is larger and marked as shipped; supply its actual role, scope and release status.

Choose projects that demonstrate the work relevant to the audience. Prepare your role, collaborators, constraints, decisions, artifacts and evidence of outcomes for each one.

From the Prompt

Introduce the designer, select projects, explain roles and connect decisions to outcomes.

Make It Your Own

For [PROJECT], use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source for this portfolio presentation. Choose projects that demonstrate the work relevant to the audience. Prepare your role, collaborators, constraints, decisions, artifacts and evidence of outcomes for each one. Identify missing inputs before replacing them with demonstration content.

Check the Attribution

The supporting projects are visibly marked as concepts; keep concept work distinct from shipped work when replacing the examples.

A reviewer should know which decisions and artifacts belong to the presenter and which were team contributions. Remove outcome claims that cannot be supported. Check that project credits remain visible and that shipped work is distinguishable from concepts. Remove claims of sole authorship where the result depended on a team.

From the Prompt

Preserve collaborators' credit and distinguish shipped work from concepts.

Make It Your Own

Review the portfolio presentation against this requirement: Preserve collaborators' credit and distinguish shipped work from concepts. Check that project credits remain visible and that shipped work is distinguishable from concepts. Remove claims of sole authorship where the result depended on a team. Preserve approved content and revise only the parts that fail this check.

Review Your Portfolio Presentation Result

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

  • Check that project credits remain visible and that shipped work is distinguishable from concepts. Remove claims of sole authorship where the result depended on a team.

Follow-Up Prompt

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

Refine the current portfolio presentation. Check that project credits remain visible and that shipped work is distinguishable from concepts. Remove claims of sole authorship where the result depended on a team. Preserve the approved content and visual direction; change only the parts needed to resolve these issues.
