# Slide Patterns ## 1. Illustrated Editorial Cover Use for opening slides. - Large sans-serif title on one side. - Abstract conceptual illustration on the opposite side. - Light warm or white background. - Small subtitle and source label. - Illustration should feel refined, not decorative filler. ## 2. Conceptual Thesis Use for strategic argument slides. - One concise headline. - One large abstract illustration that expresses the concept. - 2-3 supporting notes placed around the illustration. - Keep the layout spacious and asymmetric. ## 3. Workflow Illustration Use for process, agent flow, product journey, or system explanation. - Use smooth connected shapes or curved paths. - Add tiny human or object elements only if they clarify meaning. - Use muted blue for stable structure and dusty orange for the active path. - Keep labels short. ## 4. Idea Map Use for themes, insights, or grouped concepts. - Central abstract shape or cluster. - Supporting concepts arranged around it. - Use thin lines or curved connectors. - Avoid dense mind-map complexity. ## 5. People And Collaboration Use for user stories, team workflows, or adoption narratives. - Use simplified human figures with refined proportions. - Avoid cartoon faces and exaggerated expressions. - Pair people with abstract UI panels or idea shapes. - Use warm spacing and calm composition. ## 6. Evidence With Illustration Use for metrics or proof. - One key metric or statement. - Small illustration that reinforces the insight. - Minimal chart marks. - Direct label, no dense axis system. ## 7. Closing Idea Use for final takeaway. - Short closing headline. - Small conceptual illustration or abstract mark. - Large negative space. - Quiet final note or next-step line.
