How to use GPT4 to Create a PowerPoint Mood Board for Your Next Presentation

Have you ever struggled to come up with a cohesive and visually appealing theme for your presentation? Maybe you've found yourself browsing through countless images and color palettes, unsure of how to tie them all together. Fear not, I'm here to help (along with GPT4 and Lexica, of course!)!

In this article, I'll show you how to use GPT4 to create what I'm calling a PowerPoint mood board.

What is a mood board?

A mood board is a collection of images, colors, and textures that convey a specific mood or theme. It is often used as a starting point in the design process, providing inspiration and direction for the overall aesthetic of a project. In the context of a presentation, a mood board can help you establish a consistent and engaging visual style that supports your message.

Basically, pictures of what your PowerPoint slide could look like, even though you will still have to build it yourself in PowerPoint (until Copilot becomes widely available!).
