Slide decks, speaker scripts, posters, and visual assignments, coached and designed with you, from outline to final.
Direct answer: Build the argument first and the slides second. MAAS EdTech works through your outline, tightens each slide to one claim with the evidence behind it, designs the visual treatment, and rehearses the speaker script with you, so the deck answers the marking criteria instead of merely looking tidy.

This is Group A · Grade-Committed: you choose a deliverable tier with three-layer QA and a refund-backed outcome target.
Who is presentation & design support for?
MAAS Presentation & Design Support serves students with a graded presentation or viva, marketing and design students with visual assignments like posters or infographics, and anyone who has the content but needs a professional, on-rubric design.
- Students with a graded presentation, pitch, or viva who need a clean, on-rubric deck plus a script to rehearse from
- Marketing, design, and business students with visual assignments, posters, blog layouts, business model canvases, customer-journey maps, infographics
- Anyone who has the content but needs help turning it into a professional, well-designed visual
Does any of this sound like where you are?
- You have two recorded video presentations due and genuinely do not know how people make those.
- You need a speaker script to rehearse from, not just slides.
- Your deck has to carry a specific framework such as SWOT, PESTEL or Five Forces, and you want it laid out so the analysis reads clearly.
- You have the content already and what you cannot do is turn it into something that looks professional.
- You only need the slides, because the written report is already handled.
This is not for you if you want someone to present or record in your place. The delivery is yours.
What do you get with presentation & design support?
Presentation & Design Support builds toward a structured slide outline, a designed and submission-ready deck, a timed speaker script, a poster or portfolio layout where needed, full visual formatting, and an optional similarity or AI pre-check.
- A structured slide outline mapped to your assignment rubric and time limit
- Designed slide deck (PowerPoint / Google Slides / Canva) on-brand and submission-ready
- A speaker script with timing cues so you can record or present in your own voice
- Academic poster, infographic, or portfolio layout where required
- Visual formatting, typography, colour, charts, and figure design
- Similarity / AI pre-check on any written notes, on request
How it works
The MAAS presentation and design process runs through 5 stages, numbered 1 to 5 below, from a discovery call and expert match to an agreed outline, a first designed draft, and a final version with editable files and a rehearsal script.
- Discovery call: share the brief, rubric, time limit, and any slides you've started
- Match & quote: we pair you with a design-capable expert and confirm tier + timeline
- Outline: agree the structure and key messages before any design work begins
- Draft: first designed version for your feedback
- Final: revisions applied; you receive editable source files plus a script to rehearse
Why does slide structure change how a panel grades you?
Direct answer: Because the format changes what a viewer actually processes, not just how the deck looks. Two decades of research on presentation design point the same direction: a slide built as a full-sentence claim backed by one piece of visual evidence outperforms a slide built as a bullet-point topic label. Alley and Neeley (2005), writing in Technical Communication, pages 417–426, argued for exactly this structure, sentence headlines paired with visual evidence rather than a fragment topic followed by a bulleted list, a format now known as the assertion-evidence approach.
The same literature explains why a slide crowded with decorative text works against the presenter rather than for them. Mayer and Fiorella (2014), reviewing the coherence principle across 23 controlled experiments in Cambridge Handbook of Multimedia Learning, pages 279–315, found people learn more when a slide excludes extraneous words, pictures and sounds than when it includes them, a result that held in all 23 of the 23 tests reviewed, a 100% replication rate for that one principle. For a poster specifically, Hess, Tosney and Liegel (2009) set out design guidance built on the same premise, published as AMEE Guide no. 40 in Medical Teacher, pages 319–321: a poster works as a highly condensed research paper, built mainly from visual displays of data with just enough text to carry context and conclusions. A pilot survey of 88 delegates who presented posters at two Bournemouth University research conferences, in 2007 and 2008, found a 39% response rate and broad author agreement that a poster is a legitimate form of academic output rather than a lesser one (Rowe & Ilic, 2009). MAAS builds every deck and poster to this evidence base rather than to a template default, one claim per slide, the evidence visible, and the decorative clutter removed before the design pass even begins. These four sources run from 2005 to 2014, a span of 9 years, across a technical-communication journal, a multimedia-learning handbook, a medical-education guide and a medical-education journal, not one preference dressed up as a rule.
What has this actually looked like?
An integrated communication and poster campaign (GRAP3029, RMIT Vietnam). This brief is easy to misread. It looks like a design task, students treat it as one, then lose marks because the campaign logic never becomes visible in the artefact. The poster has to hold a strategic argument covering audience, insight and channel fit, and the referencing still has to meet RMIT's Easy Cite APA standard, which students frequently drop once a piece turns visual. We started from the campaign logic rather than the layout: who the audience is, what the insight is, why each channel earns its place. Only then did the visual treatment follow. Where it stands: the student received a campaign structure, a designed artefact aligned to the brief, and editable source files, then completed and submitted their own assignment.

Who will actually work with you?
You work with an expert who has both the subject knowledge and the design skill, because a deck that looks good and misreads the rubric still loses marks. They hold a degree in your discipline and build presentation material as part of their own academic or professional practice.
See the anonymised expert roster on our experts page.
What decides your quote?
Three things move the number.
- Deck size and how much writing sits behind it. A designed deck is quoted with a baseline word allowance built in, and a speaker script beyond that allowance is priced as it grows.
- How much design the piece actually needs. A clean slide set to a template is one thing, an academic poster or an infographic built from scratch is another.
- Time you have left, measured by how much must be produced per 24 hours.
A poster is quoted with its design and a baseline word allowance included; a slide deck likewise carries a baseline allowance plus basic design. Anything beyond those allowances is quoted as it arises, and you see it before it is added.
No two briefs price the same, so MAAS quotes per case rather than publishing a flat rate. Send the brief and you get a figure back; you do not need to commit to anything to see one.
What does MAAS commit to?
MAAS commits to a deliverable that follows your rubric and your institution's formatting rules, editable source files so you stay in control, three-layer QA with a warranty of up to 45 days, and confidentiality of every material.

What does MAAS not do?
MAAS does not present or record on your behalf, because delivering the work in your own voice is yours, and it does not guarantee how a panel or live audience will react on the day.

- Guarantee outcomes that depend on a panel or live audience reaction
Have a deck or design due? Book a free discovery call of 15 minutes, support@maasedtech.com or +84 979 422 393 (Zalo / WhatsApp). Your work, designed with the guidance of a MAAS expert.
Not ready to book a call? That is a normal place to be. Send the brief on Zalo or Messenger and ask for a figure, no call, no form, no commitment. If the answer is that MAAS is not right for your case, you will be told that too.
How does MAAS scope your presentation or design brief?
MAAS checks your brief in full before design starts, covering the rubric, time limit, required format, and any slides or notes you have already produced, then sends anything missing back to you before an expert begins.
- Marking rubric and time limit for your presentation or design assignment
- Required format, whether PowerPoint, Canva, poster, or another deliverable type
- Any slides, notes, or content you've already drafted
- Institution's formatting and referencing requirements, if any citations are involved
How is your design expert matched to your brief?
Two things have to line up, and most providers check only one. First, whether the expert works in your assignment's discipline and can show real design work. Second, whether they can coach your delivery rather than only build slides.
- Discipline match to your assignment, since marketing, business, and academic-poster conventions differ
- Coaching capability, meaning whether they can rehearse the script and the delivery with you, which is a different skill from visual design
- Country and institution conventions where formatting rules differ
- Experts are judged on guidance quality, reliability and client satisfaction, not on the number of decks produced
What gets checked before you receive your deck?
Every deck or design file is checked against your brief and rubric before handover, with structure complete, formatting matched to your institution's rules, and any written notes screened for originality if you request it. Headlines are also checked against the assertion-evidence standard from Alley and Neeley (2005): a full-sentence claim, not a topic fragment, backed by the visual evidence on that same slide.
- Structure complete for the deliverable type, whether slide count, poster sections, or portfolio pages
- Formatting matched to your rubric: fonts, layout, colour, and citation style where used
- Rubric criteria worked through one at a time, so you can see where each one is met
- Written notes or scripts, if included, screened for similarity and AI on request
Frequently asked questions
Design work and delivery coaching are quoted together rather than separately, so the same expert who builds your deck also rehearses the timed script with you, and the visual assignment and the presentation itself are prepared as one piece of work.
What can MAAS design with me?
MAAS designs slide decks, speaker scripts, academic posters, infographics, and other visual assignments with you, coaching each piece from the initial outline through a first draft to a polished, submission-ready final version.
Do you only make the slides, or coach me too?
Both, because MAAS designs the deck with you and then rehearses the speaker script so you can walk into the presentation and deliver it confidently in your own natural voice.
What formats do you deliver?
MAAS delivers PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Canva files, plus print-ready poster and infographic layouts when required, all aligned to your assignment rubric and your institution's formatting rules.
Can you help with the script and delivery?
Yes, a timed speaker script and rehearsal coaching are included, so you can present or record with confidence while keeping the delivery entirely in your own voice and pacing.
How much does presentation & design support cost?
Pricing depends on the deliverable tier, the number of slides or documents, and the turnaround you need, so MAAS confirms an exact quotation once the discovery call reviews your brief.
Is my content kept confidential?
Yes, every brief, draft, and design file you share stays confidential and is used only to build your presentation, never shared beyond the expert working directly on your project.
