SVG Spec Lock

Every slide should follow these constraints:

  • Use viewBox="0 0 1280 720".
  • Use embedded text, not rasterized text.
  • Keep text within safe margins.
  • Use explicit fills and strokes.
  • Use simple gradients only when they improve illustration softness.
  • Use filters only for very light, local illustration shadow if the PPT workflow supports them; otherwise use pale flat ellipses as shadows.
  • Avoid external image links unless intentionally bundled.
  • Prefer simple SVG primitives and paths.

Design Process

  1. Read the source and identify the key idea per slide.
  2. Decide the visual metaphor before drawing.
  3. Choose a slide pattern from slide-patterns.md.
  4. Place typography first, then illustration, then secondary labels.
  5. Keep illustrations calm and balanced.
  6. Run the QA checklist before export.

Text Density

  • Cover: title, subtitle, one metadata line.
  • Content slide: one main idea and 2-4 support points.
  • Body copy: 8-18 words per block.
  • Avoid long bullet lists.

Illustration Production Rules

  • Keep paths clean and shapes editable.
  • Use layered vector forms rather than raster images when possible.
  • Use gradients sparingly.
  • Ground figures with pale soft ellipses instead of heavy shadows.
  • Use simplified people without cartoon exaggeration.

Forbidden Treatments

  • 3D realism
  • Heavy shadows
  • Cartoon mascot styling
  • Neon palettes
  • Dense dashboards
  • Overly literal clipart
  • Busy full-canvas scenes
  • Excessive gradients
