# Japanese Hand-Drawn Editorial PPT Skill

Use this skill when a deck should feel quiet, thoughtful, human, artistic, and refined, with delicate Japanese lifestyle magazine illustration.

## Style Intent

Create high-end editorial PPT slides with a Japanese hand-drawn illustration style.

- Background: soft warm off-white paper texture, slightly grainy.
- Main visual: delicate hand-drawn pencil or ink illustration.
- Illustration line: thin, uneven, slightly imperfect, natural, and organic.
- Color: mostly monochrome line art with very light watercolor fills.
- Typography: clean Japanese-style sans-serif, light weight, generous line spacing.
- Layout: asymmetric editorial composition with large negative space.
- Finish: soft, calm, human, slightly imperfect, and refined.
- Aspect ratio: 16:9 unless the user explicitly asks otherwise.

## Required Palette

- Warm White: `#F8F6F2`
- Ink Black: `#2B2B2B`
- Soft Gray: `#BDBDBD`
- Muted Indigo: `#6C7A89`
- Pale Wash: `#EAE7E1`

## Non-Negotiables

- Keep contrast gentle; avoid harsh black-on-white intensity.
- Use hand-drawn lines, small annotations, and minimal dividers.
- Use muted indigo only as a very light accent.
- Use pale watercolor fills sparingly.
- Keep typography light, calm, and spacious.
- Do not center everything; use asymmetric balance.
- Do not use sharp geometric tech elements, glossy effects, heavy shadows, bold colors, cartoon styling, or perfect vector-tech diagrams.
- Preserve the feeling of quiet human craft.

## Workflow

1. Read the source and identify the human or conceptual story.
2. Decide the soft illustration metaphor for each slide.
3. Choose a pattern from `references/slide-patterns.md`.
4. Apply `references/style-system.md`.
5. Use `references/ppt-master-integration.md` when generating with PPT master.
6. Validate with `references/qa-checklist.md`.
