# Soft 3D / Claymorphism Slide Patterns

Use these patterns as a layout vocabulary. Do not turn every slide into a decorative 3D poster.

## 1. Airy Clay Cover

- Warm beige background.
- Large clean sans-serif title on the left.
- Soft 3D cluster in one corner.
- Small metadata label and a quiet footer.

## 2. Floating Concept Object

Use for one central idea.

- Text column occupies 45-55%.
- One matte 3D object or abstract shape cluster supports the concept.
- Add one short takeaway line.

## 3. Soft UI Panels

Use for 3-5 related points.

- Panels use highlight surface `#FFF9EF`.
- Rounded corners, subtle border, soft offset shadow.
- One small 3D accent can sit outside the panel group.
- Avoid heavy card grids with equal visual weight.

## 4. Clay Process Thread

Use for workflows.

- Use a simple line/thread with rounded nodes.
- Nodes may be sage/pink clay-like dots.
- Keep each step short.
- Add one quiet conclusion below.

## 5. Pastel Matrix

Use for classification or comparison.

- Hairline grid in soft divider.
- One axis may use sage, the other warm pink.
- Text remains charcoal.
- Use depth only in axis markers, not every cell.

## 6. Evidence + Soft Object

Use for screenshots, charts, or quotes.

- Evidence frame uses a soft rounded rectangle.
- 3D shape sits near the frame corner, partially outside the content grid.
- Interpretation sits beside or below with clear hierarchy.

## 7. Breathing Quote

Use for emotional or strategic pause.

- One large sentence, left aligned.
- Small 3D shape in far corner.
- Huge negative space.

## 8. Closing

- Large concise statement.
- Three next steps or open questions in soft panels.
- One small 3D cluster as a signature.
