Presentations & Decks

Create custom, professional visuals for pitch decks, reports, and business presentations

Overview

Generic stock photos make presentations look generic. Midjourney enables professionals to create custom, concept-specific visuals that perfectly illustrate their ideas — whether it's a startup pitch deck, a strategy presentation, or an annual report. Custom visuals signal effort, creativity, and attention to detail that stock photos simply cannot match.

Step-by-Step Workflow

1

Map Your Presentation Structure

Identify which slides need custom visuals — typically the hero slide, section dividers, and key concept slides. Not every slide needs a custom image; focus on the highest-impact moments.

2

Define Your Visual Style

Choose a consistent aesthetic for the entire deck — abstract and conceptual, photorealistic, illustrated, or data-driven. Create a style reference image to use as --sref across all generations.

3

Generate Slide Visuals

Create images for each identified slide. Use --ar 16:9 for standard widescreen presentations. Ensure images have clear areas for text overlays.

4

Integrate and Refine

Import images into your presentation tool (PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides). Add text overlays, adjust opacity for text legibility, and ensure visual consistency across the deck.

Real-World Scenarios

Startup Pitch Deck Hero

Founder needs a compelling hero image for a Series A pitch

Strategy Presentation

Consultant needs visuals for a market entry strategy deck

Abstract concept of growth and expansion, upward trajectory, clean and professional, suitable for a business strategy presentation, dark navy background with gold accents, minimal and sophisticated --ar 16:9 --v 6.1

Company needs a distinctive cover for their annual report

Pro Tips

Use Dark Backgrounds for Text Legibility

Dark, atmospheric images work better as presentation backgrounds than bright images. Add "dark background", "moody atmosphere", or "deep navy/black background" to ensure text remains readable when overlaid.

Generate Abstract Concepts

For business presentations, abstract and conceptual images often work better than literal ones. "Abstract visualization of [your concept]" gives you sophisticated visuals that suggest ideas without being too literal.

Create Section Divider Images

Generate a series of related abstract images for section dividers. Use --sref to ensure they all share the same aesthetic. Consistent section dividers give a deck a polished, professional feel.

Match Your Brand Colors

Specify your brand colors in the prompt: "warm amber and deep navy color palette" or "using only shades of forest green and cream". Color consistency between your visuals and brand identity signals professionalism.
