# Washi Soft Glow Slide Patterns

Use these patterns as a design vocabulary. Do not repeat the same layout for every slide. For the second style, prefer sharper grid rhythm, stark white space, burnt orange ticks, and asymmetric edge-pressed images.

## 1. Quiet Editorial Cover

Use for title, section opener, or conclusion.

- Large left-aligned serif title.
- One thin vertical indigo rule.
- Small monospace metadata.
- Wide empty field on the right with a faint geometric mark.
- Optional paper grain across the whole page.

## 2. Asymmetric Thesis

Use when introducing the main argument.

- Left: 2-4 line thesis in large body text.
- Right: minimal equation, diagram, or framed concept.
- One thin divider between zones.
- No card stack.

## 3. Thin-Line Matrix

Use for 2x2 logic, comparison, decision model.

- Hairline grid in divider gray.
- Column/row labels in indigo.
- Cells use text only, with one icon if needed.
- Add one conclusion line below the matrix.

## 4. Paper Bento

Use for 4-6 related concepts when a card layout is unavoidable.

- Use uneven card sizes or offset rows.
- Cards should have thin borders, no heavy shadow.
- One indigo edge line is enough for emphasis.
- Avoid equal three-column feature rows unless the content demands it.

## 5. Process Thread

Use for workflows and timelines.

- One horizontal or vertical thread line.
- Small numbered nodes.
- Each step gets a short title and one-line explanation.
- Leave large top/bottom whitespace.

## 6. Framed Evidence

Use when showing a screenshot, quote, table, or source excerpt.

- Place evidence in a quiet frame.
- Put interpretation beside it, not underneath as a generic caption.
- Use one thin callout line to connect evidence and takeaway.

## 7. Reflective Quote

Use for emotional, brand, humanities, or executive reflection moments.

- One sentence in large serif type.
- Soft paper field or pale lavender wash.
- Small source note.
- No decorative quotation marks unless extremely subtle.

## 8. Closing Questions

Use at the end.

- Large two-line conclusion.
- Three quiet open questions or next actions.
- Thin top rule and restrained page footer.

## 9. Lifestyle Magazine Edge Press

Use for Style 2 with photos or strong visual evidence.

- Image bleeds to the right, top, or bottom canvas edge.
- Text block sits on the opposite side with strict grid alignment.
- Burnt orange tick or rule connects the text to the image.
- Caption is small, sharp, and charcoal/deep clay.

## 10. Stark Grid Feature

Use for Style 2 structured professional pages.

- White background.
- 2-4 grid zones with hairline dividers.
- One large sans-serif assertion heading.
- One burnt orange numeric marker or section tab.
- No soft paper texture; detail comes from alignment and contrast.

## Layout Rhythm

For a 10-page deck:

- Page 1: anchor cover
- Pages 2-3: framing
- Pages 4-6: structured model or evidence
- Page 7: breathing reflection
- Pages 8-9: application / implications
- Page 10: closing

Use `breathing` pages where the audience needs to absorb an idea.
