Plain Text
styleGuide: "Design Aesthetic: Modern corporate presentation style with clean, breathable layouts inspired by professional business intelligence reports. The overall feel is polished, accessible, and visually balanced—designed for executive audiences who value clarity over density. Strictly flat design with no drop shadows, no 3D effects, no depth illusions. Maintain a calm, professional business atmosphere.
Background Color: Soft light grey #F5F5F5 or white #FFFFFF for main content areas, creating a clean canvas that enhances readability and provides generous breathing room.
Primary Font: Playfair Display or Libre Baskerville for main headlines and slide titles only, rendered in medium to bold weight to convey authority while maintaining elegance. Serif fonts are used exclusively for titles.
Secondary Font: Open Sans or Lato for all body text, chart labels, data annotations, subtitles, and supporting content. Clean, highly readable sans-serif that works well at various sizes. All non-title text must use sans-serif fonts.
Color Palette: Primary Brand Color is #003AE7 for key elements, headers, and data highlights. Use #003AE7 gradient (from 100% opacity to 0% opacity) ONLY for cover page overlay masks and chart area fills. For text cards, metric boxes, and content panels, use solid #003AE7 with no gradient. Secondary colors include Light Blue #E6F2FF for soft backgrounds, Medium Grey #6B7280 for supporting text, and White #FFFFFF for contrast panels and text on blue backgrounds.
Visual Elements: Generous edge margins (minimum 60-80px on all sides). Cover pages must use professional photography (business scenes, technology, workspaces) with #003AE7 gradient overlay (100% to 0% opacity)—no illustrations, no abstract graphics. Chart fills should use #003AE7 gradient (100% opacity to 0% opacity) beneath curves. All text cards, statistic boxes, and content panels must use solid #003AE7 fill with white sans-serif text—no gradients on these elements. Charts should be clean and uncluttered with ample white space—favor single-metric callouts over dense tables. Strictly flat design with no drop shadows or 3D effects. Line charts with smooth curves and minimal grid lines. Simple flat icons in white or blue. Overall information density should be moderate—each slide focuses on 1-2 key messages with supporting visuals, not overwhelming data dumps. Maintain a calm, restrained business aesthetic throughout."
