Accenture Slides Skill

Create premium Accenture-branded presentations combining authentic corporate branding with Tufte's data visualization principles and Dieter Rams' "less, but better" design philosophy.

Core Design Philosophy

Tufte Principles

• Maximize data-ink ratio: Remove all non-essential visual elements
• One message per slide: Each slide communicates a single clear point
• Direct labeling: Minimal legends emphasis through typography not decoration
• High information density with generous whitespace: Let data breathe
• Show data variation not design variation: Consistency over creativity

Dieter Rams Principles

• Less but better: Only essential elements remain
• Honest design: No exaggeration just key facts
• Understandable: Instant comprehension minimal cognitive load
• As little design as possible: Pure function over form

Accenture Brand System

Implementation Pattern

Setup

const pptxgen = require("pptxgenjs");
const fs = require("fs");

let pres = new pptxgen();
pres.layout = 'LAYOUT_16x9';
pres.author = 'Author Name';
pres.company = 'Accenture';

// Load logo as base64
const logoPath = 'path/to/assets/accenture_logo.png';
// Convert to base64 with proper format

Branding Helper

function addBranding(slide) {
  slide.addImage({
    data: logoBase64,
    x: 9.0, y: 0.25, w: 0.8, h: 0.53
  });
  
  slide.addText("Accenture", {
    x: 0.4, y: 5.4, w: 2, h: 0.15,
    fontSize: 9, color: colors.mediumGray,
    fontFace: "Arial", align: "left"
  });
}

Title Slide

let slide1 = pres.addSlide();
slide1.background = { color: colors.white };

slide1.addImage({
  data: logoBase64,
  x: 0.4, y: 0.4, w: 1.2, h: 0.8
});

slide1.addText("Title", {
  x: 0.4, y: 2.3, w: 9, h: 0.7,
  fontSize: 44, bold: true, color: colors.black,
  fontFace: "Arial", align: "left"
});

slide1.addShape(pres.shapes.LINE, {
  x: 0.4, y: 3.15, w: 3.5, h: 0,
  line: { color: colors.purple, width: 4 }
});

Content Slide

let slide = pres.addSlide();
slide.background = { color: colors.white };
addBranding(slide);

slide.addText("Title", {
  x: 0.4, y: 0.4, w: 9.2, h: 0.4,
  fontSize: 28, bold: true, color: colors.black
});

slide.addShape(pres.shapes.LINE, {
  x: 0.4, y: 0.88, w: 2.0, h: 0,
  line: { color: colors.purple, width: 3 }
});

Data Display

// Large metric
slide.addText("227%", {
  x: 0.4, y: 1.8, w: 2.9, h: 0.7,
  fontSize: 60, bold: true, color: colors.purple
});

slide.addText("Label", {
  x: 0.4, y: 2.6, w: 2.9, h: 0.25,
  fontSize: 14, color: colors.mediumGray
});

Table Pattern

const data = [
  [
    { text: "Row", options: { fontSize: 16, bold: true } },
    { text: "Value", options: { fontSize: 16, color: colors.mediumGray } }
  ]
];

slide.addTable(data, {
  x: 0.4, y: 1.5, w: 9.2,
  border: { pt: 0 },
  align: "left"
});
