And no, that’s not a typo!
Glassmorphism began as a hugely popular UI design trend in 2021.
By 2022 it was embraced by those in the business of designing presentation decks.
Before we explain why, let’s have a look at what it is:
Glassmorphism is a term used to describe UI design that emphasises light or dark objects, placed on top of colourful backgrounds. A background-blur is placed on the objects which allows the background to shine through, giving it the impression of frosted glass.

The next question that arises is: how can it help in pitching decks better?
On the design front, glassmorphism enables:
- Differentiation, from standard flat colour, solid block approaches
- Dimension, thanks to the layering possibilities
- Dynamism, without having to animate
From the point of view of company values, glassmorphism can convey subliminal message such as:
- Transparency, of intent and content
- Clarity, of action plans and proposals
- Modernity, of approaches and mindsets
In short, Glassmorphism is best suited when you want your presentation to convey your vision, and your mission!, in a manner that is subtle, vivid, smooth, and stylish.
And finally: how can this aesthetic be best adapted for PowerPoint presentations?
By seeking professional design help!
Glassmorphism is a perfect example of the light touch being the right touch, and is thus best executed by those with enough experience in finding just the right balance, as overdoing it will simply undermine the desired outcome!
