How do you setup a design template system (deck, collateral) to be used by non creatives that doesn’t end in absolute calamity?

Serious question but will also accept “impossible” as an answer.

Non creative people don’t seem to even be able to obey a simple left margin so good luck getting them to follow anything else. 😬

Have a discussion with them about what the have used in the past, evaluate what aligns with those elements and set up a guide along with the templates and provide a brief walk through. I did this in Canva and Adobe express for insurance professionals with no design training previously and they did well. It’s a process but worth it for successful outcomes.

Google slides

Makes it worse. They can’t embed anything easily.

PowerPoint with PC/iOS system fonts, or Google slides with Google fonts. 16:9 of course, but you’ll get that one biz guy who prints it 8.5x11
