Visual Showcase

Five ways to frame your thinking.

The deck below is the same deck five times. What changes is the layout, which sets structure, and the theme, which sets colour and type. They are separate on purpose, so you pick a look after the deck is written rather than before, and the four named layouts and four named themes give sixteen combinations rather than four fixed pairs. Every shot here is a real render, not a mockup.

The same example deck rendered in the The default look.

The default No flags

What you get without asking for anything. Dark, quiet, and the one every deck used before layouts existed. Nothing below replaces it.

The same example deck rendered in the Storybook look.

Storybook Warm

Serif headings on cream, rounded cards with real depth, teal running into gold. The most generous of the four, for advisory work and long form argument.

--layout storybook --theme storybook

The same example deck rendered in the Editorial look.

Editorial Print

A business magazine. Serif throughout, hairline rules instead of cards, pull quotes and pull figures. Navy against rust, on warm paper.

--layout editorial --theme editorial

The same example deck rendered in the Crest look.

Crest Formal

Squared and precise. Bordered panels rather than shadows, a rule stamped across the top of every slide, navy against a muted red. For a review that has to look careful.

--layout crest --theme crest

The same example deck rendered in the Vivid look.

Vivid Loud

Oversized headings and solid saturated blocks that alternate across a grid. Hard edges, flat shadows, blue running into pink. For a launch rather than a report.

--layout vivid --theme vivid
