Graphical Look

• The slide background is a deep blue with a textured appearance.
• A large quote is centrally positioned in white font, with certain phrases highlighted in yellow.
• The highlighted phrases are also replicated on yellow sticky notes with hand-drawn letters, arranged around the quote.
• Each sticky note features a single word, and some include simple, sketched icons like a rocket, an arrow, and a target.
• The font and rough drawings on the sticky notes give the slide a casual and creative aesthetic.

The visual composition of the slide blends formality with creativity, using the contrast of structured text against hand-drawn elements on sticky notes to emphasize key concepts. The color scheme is simple but striking with the yellow elements standing out against the blue background.
