Why This Deck Needs a Redesign

This lecture from Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen's "Economics of Regulation" course (Summer Term 2020, Prof. Dr. Georg Götz) introduces regulation of network industries — covering market structures, monopoly instruments, and real-world data from European utilities. The original slides are packed with valuable data but suffer from poor visual presentation:

Arty's redesign transforms every data element: tables get professional headers with industry icons, charts receive modern color palettes and icon-enriched legends, flowcharts gain depth with styled nodes and visual layer indicators — all while preserving every data point and label exactly as the professor intended.
