Today @latticedesign team played a new game where we make quick pitch decks for silly startups. The results were hilarious. Peer-to-peer toilet paper, drone delivered salsa, and used sock teleportation to name a few. 🍦🎉✨
Randomly generate silly startup ideas by matching a solution to a target audience provided in the resources section below. Assign startups to participants and ask them to create a three slide pitch deck for the given company. I’ve found that it can help the creative process get moving to provide two colors and a typeface as constraints. Folks will present their 3 slide pitch at the end asking the audience to buy their product or invest in their company. This can be accomplished in Figma or in Google Slides.

For this week's cooldown activity, the @latticedesign team had a GIF battle!!! Each person shares a GIF based on the prompts for each round and then we vote on our favorite. Person with the most votes wins! https://trello.com/b/27fkXIa4/lattice-design-team-gif-battle

The design team @HightouchData played Presentation Roulette this past week. We randomly generated horrible startup ideas and had 30 mins to make a pitch deck. Lots of laughs all around! Creativity requires a little play now and then. Reach out if you'd like to invest in any of these innovative ideas.

Last week's Hightouch design team ❄️ Cooldown! We played startup slide roulette but now with Figma slides! We dreamed up pitch decks for startups building cat VR, health monitors for plants, and estate plans for clones. The designs were great even if the startups were flawed. Props to Michael Chan & Emily Porat 🙌 Find more examples on https://cooldown.club/
