modern newspaper:

You are a top art director leading Japan's "new economy business media." But the language should be what users said in the prompt. so not nessecery in (the language what users requested in the prompt).
Based on the following "design definition," generate a visually focused, high-sensibility presentation slide that sparks intellectual excitement in business professionals of the smartphone generation.
[Important: Absolutely Prohibited Output Format Rules]
Complete Exclusion of Markdown Symbols: Do not include symbols like "#" for headings or "*" and "" for emphasis in the slide text under any circumstances.

Plain Text Only: Text displayed on the slide must consist solely of "pure (the language what users requested in the prompt) and English text" without any decorative symbols.


[Special Specification for Cover Slide: Make This the Highest Quality]
Design Philosophy: Draw inspiration from "Swiss Style (International Typographic Style)" or "Bauhaus."

Layout: Ban simplistic "centered alignment." Create tension with "asymmetrical" placement. Use a grid system to position the title extremely off to the top left or bottom left, or craft bold negative space for refinement.

Title Copy Design:

Main Title (Ultra-Large · Short Phrase): Ditch descriptive words. Make it a visual anchor with a short word or phrase of about "2–5 characters" (e.g., "Liberation," "Collapse and Rebirth," "The True Face of AI").

Subtitle (Ultra-Small · Benefit-Driven): Carve into the reader's pain points and hint at resolution with a concise sentence (e.g., "Why Is Your Advertising Dead?" "How to Ditch 'Tasks' and Return to 'Creation'").

Composition Ratio: Punch the eyes with the main title, stab the brain with the subtitle.


[Overall Design Definition for All Slides]
1.  Core Theme: Smart & pop business infotainment (intellectual curiosity × entertainment)
2.  Color Palette:
Background Color: White (#FFFFFF) or Cool Gray (#F5F5F5)
Text Color: Sumi (Jet Black) (#111111)
Accent Color: Electric Yellow (#FFCC00) or Alert Red (#FF3333)
3.  Visual Style:
Adopt the design philosophy of a "smartphone-first economic media."

Use images like "monochrome cutouts of people" or "stylish photos with blown-out backgrounds" to emphasize the subject.
Highlight key numbers or keywords with fluorescent marker-style lines (yellow background) to create rhythm.

4.  Typography (Text as Graphic):
Position headlines at an "ultra-massive size" occupying 30%–50% of the slide's area.

Extreme Jump Ratio: The size ratio between "headlines" and "body text" must be 10:1 or more. No half-hearted size differences allowed.

For headlines, use extra-bold sans-serif (Impact/(Hiragino) W8 weight) to treat them as a "surface," and tuck ultra-thin English fonts into the gaps for a sense of airiness.


5.  Overall Structure**:
Strictly adhere to "1 slide = 1 message."
Layout is a binary choice between "negative space" or "text." Draw the eye through contrasts of text-packed areas that fill the screen and vast empty voids.
Place the conclusion (punchline) with a "bam!" in the center of the slide, or position it spilling off the edge for visual impact.

sharp-edged minimalism:

# presentation_design_spec_minimal_jp.yaml
Style: Refined Minimal Portfolio
Characteristics: Top-left navigation, aesthetics of whitespace, grid-based layout
Global Design Settings:
  Tone: "Professional, architectural, sharp-edged minimalism"
  Color Palette:
    Base: "#E9E9E9 (light gray) or #FFFFFF (white)"
    Text: "#000000 (jet black) or #333333 (dark gray)"
    Accent: "#000000 (black) – used for bold lines and emphasized text"
    Special: "Dark mode (black background) – used for slides that need emphasis"
  Typography:
    Headings: "English sans-serif (e.g., Helvetica Now, Inter). Bold and decoratively positioned."
    Body: "(the language what users requested in the prompt) Gothic typeface. Small size with generous letter spacing and line height." But the language should be what users said in the prompt.
  Common Layout Rules:
    Navigation: "Place a small section number and title such as '01. INTRODUCTION' in the top-left (or top-right) of every slide."
    Grid: "Use a strict grid system to align elements."
    Whitespace: "Intentionally leave large areas empty (negative space) to create a sense of luxury."
Layout Variations (Catalog):
Type: "Title Typography"
    Design: "Scattered layout. Randomly place award badges or keywords like stamps. The central title is small, bold, and restrained."
Type: "Text + Data Emphasis"
    Design: "Asymmetrical split. Narrative text on the left, oversized numbers (black) on the right. Include thin divider lines."
Type: "Card Grid"
    Design: "Tightly spaced grid. Arrange high-quality images with a web-like interaction feel, such as text appearing on mouse-over."
Type: "Full-Screen Graphic"
    Design: "Office interior photography occupying the full screen (or more than half). Concrete textures, desks lined with Macs. Reduce saturation for a cool tone. Add a very small caption in the bottom-left."
Type: "Photo + List Split"
    Design: "50:50 split. Left: architectural or abstract photography. Right: data list (bold headings + light-weight descriptions). Used for company info. Bold item names, thin body text. Generous spacing; avoid overcrowding." But the language should be what users said in the prompt. 
Type: "Minimal Map"
    Design: "Silhouette-style map. Light gray background with a white map. Use ultra-thin callout lines to indicate locations."
Type: "Vertical Timeline"
    Design: "Vertical axis. A single thin line with text branching left and right. Clean chronological order."
Type: "Bubble Chart / Venn Diagram"
    Design: "Wireframe style. Black background with thin white line art. Semi-transparent overlapping circles."
Type: "Dialogue (Chat Style)"
    Design: "Minimal conversational format. Not comic speech bubbles, but simple text blocks with bold speaker names."
Type: "Chronological List"
    Design: "Rhythmic list. Large years (e.g., 2024) on the left, descriptions on the right. Strong contrast in font sizes."
Type: "Dark Mode Diagram"
    Design: "Intellectual tech aesthetic. Black background with thin white lines connecting nodes. Constellation- or network-like appearance. Circles connected by fine lines or geometric patterns, expressing a fusion of technology and creativity."
Type: "3-Step Columns"
    Design: "Typography-driven columns. Large numbers (01, 02, 03) act as pillars. No icons; rely on typographic contrast."
Type: "Logo Grid"
    Design: "Monochrome grid. Convert all logos to black or gray and align them in a strict grid."
Type: "Two Columns (Problem vs Solution)"
    Design: "Sharp contrast. A thick black vertical line separates 'Problem' and 'Solution'. Text aligned in block form."
Type: "Centered Layout (Dark Mode)"
    Design: "Cinematic. A small video thumbnail or key visual centered on a black background. Add an emotional English tagline."
Type: "Formula / Flow Diagram"
    Design: "Mathematical style. Expressions like 'A × B = C' rendered in large serif type. Minimal arrows."
Type: "Arrow Steps"
    Design: "Linear process. Place text inside large arrows. High contrast (black arrows with white text)."
Type: "Chart"
    Design: "Precision data. Graphs with thin lines ending in small black dots. Scientific instrument-like appearance."

Manga style

Understanding becomes deeper with "fun." Sometimes, it's recommended to turn information into a comic and input it along with a story. You can relate it to your own situation, and it's easier to remember.

Neo-Retro Dev Deck / Pixel-Infographic Editorial

Overall Style Name
Neo-Retro Dev Deck / Pixel-Infographic Editorial
1. Core Visual Identity
Aesthetic:
Retro-futuristic, developer-centric, editorial infographic style
Feels like:
90s computer manuals
modern AI dev tools marketing
pixel-art meets startup slide deck
Mood:
Confident, playful, opinionated, slightly rebellious
“Builders explaining the future, not selling fluff”
2. Canvas & Background
Use a light cream / off-white grid paper background
Subtle square grid (engineering notebook feel)
Grid lines very light, never distracting
Slides should feel like annotated engineering notes, not corporate PPTs
3. Typography System
Primary headline font:
Bold, heavy sans-serif with strong geometry
Black text
Slightly condensed
High contrast against background
Language mixing:
Headlines can be "the language should be what users said in the prompt" + English mixed
English sub-labels under "the language should be what users said in the prompt" titles (small, clean)
Hierarchy:
Huge bold headline blocks
Medium sub-titles
Small explanatory captions below icons or boxes
4. Color Palette (Strict)
Use high-contrast blocks with thick black outlines:
Hot Pink (agent / brain / intelligence concepts)
Bright Yellow (editor / code / tools)
Cyan / Light Blue (browser / web / execution)
Black (text, borders)
White / cream (background)
Each section = one dominant color block
5. Layout Language
Stacked modular blocks
Rectangles with thick black borders
Slight overlaps allowed (intentional, collage-like)
Horizontal bars for section headers
Card-based structure for steps, evolution, layers
Slides should feel assembled, not perfectly aligned
(controlled imperfection)
6. Iconography & Graphics
Use pixel-art style icons, including:
Rocket
Robot / agent
Gear
Code brackets
Browser window
Chat bubbles
Icons should look:
Low-resolution
8-bit or 16-bit inspired
Flat colors, black outline
Decorative elements:
Small gears
Arrows
Chevrons <>
Pixel sparks / motion lines
7. Content Patterns (Very Important)
A. “System Architecture” Slides
Use stacked layers with labels
Each layer:
One color
One icon
One bold title
One short explanatory line
Example structure:
Agent Manager
AI Editor
Agent-Controlled Browser
B. “Evolution / Timeline” Slides
Left → right progression
Each step in its own box:
Auto-complete
Chat
Agent
New Model (highlighted)
Final step should be visually larger and more colorful
C. “Manifesto / Thesis” Slides
One huge headline in a boxed frame
Minimal text
Surrounded by playful icons
Feels like a statement, not documentation
8. Tone of Text
Short
Declarative
Slightly opinionated
No marketing fluff
Good:
“Agents execute tasks autonomously”
“Coding enters the agent era”
Bad:
“Empowering users with cutting-edge solutions”
9. What to Avoid
No gradients
No realistic photos
No soft shadows
No corporate templates
No minimalism for its own sake
This is expressive, not quiet
10. Generation Instruction (Critical)
Generate multiple slides following this exact visual system.
Maintain consistency in:
grid background
color usage
icon style
typography hierarchy
Slides should look like they belong to one cohesive deck, not individual posters.
