Bridge Crossing the River of Obstacles - infographics template

Slide Content

The slide presents a metaphorical visual concept for overcoming challenges in a project or strategy. It features a "bridge" that represents bridging the gap between a "Current Challenge" and the "Desired State." This slide encourages viewers to think about the steps needed to move from a problematic situation to a successful outcome, with space to outline specific obstacles and strategies for overcoming them. Each text placeholder represents an element to be detailed, such as individual challenges and solutions.

Graphical Look

• The slide background is white.
• Two cartoon-style, purple emoji faces depict emotions, one with a concern or sadness on the left and one with happiness on the right.
• A large, central purple bridge graphic with the words "BRIDGE THE GAP" spans across the slide diagonally, connecting two sides of a metaphorical river.
• The bridge casts a drop shadow, creating a sense of depth.
• Two dashed curved lines suggest a river's flow beneath the bridge, with blue arrowheads indicating movement from left (challenge) to right (desired state).
• Additional dashed lines representing the "river" foreground are decorated with blue horizontal stripes for visual texture.
• Text boxes with a placeholder text are aligned on the left and right, titled "Current Challenge" and "Desired State," respectively, and one on the bridge for "Obstacles."
• The design uses a combination of serif font for the slide title and sans-serif for the rest of the text content, enhancing readability.

The overall look of the slide is modern, with a clean, infographic style that uses color contrast and visual metaphors to emphasize the concept of problem-solving.
