Questions

What is a 16:9 grid system?

A 16:9 grid system structures the standard widescreen frame (the format of most monitors, projectors and TVs) so screen-based layouts can have the same precision as printed ones. This one divides the frame into 24 fields on a 15 pt baseline, with a separate caption grid for images.

Why design presentations in InDesign rather than PowerPoint or Keynote?

Slide creation software is generally built for speed, not typography – InDesign gives you style sheets, a baseline grid and precision control, which is what makes a deck feel designed rather than assembled. Export to PDF and it presents anywhere.

What is a digital presentation grid used for?

Screen-based project boards, pitch decks and content-heavy presentations – anywhere the work is shown on a display rather than pinned up. With a 16:9 page, what you design is exactly what fills the screen.
