Project timeline – Hand-drawn arrows

Slide Content

The slide details a project timeline with a focus on hand-drawn arrows illustrating the progression of ten different projects across four quarters of two consecutive years, 2021 and 2022. Each project is represented by a line with an arrow pointing towards the right, indicating the flow of time and project duration. Two milestones are marked on the timeline, separating different phases or significant checkpoints within the overall timeline.

Graphical Look

• The slide has a white background with a subtle grid overlay.
• The timeline is presented in a table-like format with columns representing quarters (Q1 through Q4) and two years (2021 and 2022).
• Rows are labeled from 'Project 1' to 'Project 10' with alternating shades of light and dark blue for easy distinction between rows.
• The project durations are marked using hand-drawn style arrows in various lengths and colors, with most in teal and one in purple.
• Two dotted vertical lines, marked with pink dots, run across the timeline representing 'Milestone 1' and 'Milestone 2'.
• The text is in a sans-serif font, with the slide title in large letters at the top, and labels for each project and milestone in smaller text.

The slide has a clean and minimalist design, using color coding and simple icons to convey the progression of projects over time. The hand-drawn arrows add a dynamic and organic touch to the timeline's design.
