45	## Design Ideas
46
47	Don't create boring slides. Plain bullets on a white background won't impress anyone. Consider ideas from this list for each slide.
48
49	### Before Starting
50
51	- Pick a bold, content-informed color palette: The palette should feel designed for THIS topic. If swapping your colors into a completely different presentation would still "work," you haven't made specific enough choices.
52	- Dominance over equality: One color should dominate (60-70% visual weight), with 1-2 supporting tones and one sharp accent. Never give all colors equal weight.
53	- Dark/light contrast: Dark backgrounds for title + conclusion slides, light for content ("sandwich" structure). Or commit to dark throughout for a premium feel.
54	- Commit to a visual motif: Pick ONE distinctive element and repeat it — rounded image frames, icons in colored circles, thick single-side borders. Carry it across every slide.
55
56	### Color Palettes
57
58	Choose colors that match your topic — don't default to generic blue. Use these palettes as inspiration:
59
60	\| Theme \| Primary \| Secondary \| Accent \|
61	\|-------\|---------\|-----------\|--------\|
62	\| Midnight Executive \| `1E2761` (navy) \| `CADCFC` (ice blue) \| `FFFFFF` (white) \|
63	\| Forest & Moss \| `2C5F2D` (forest) \| `97BC62` (moss) \| `F5F5F5` (cream) \|
64	\| Coral Energy \| `F96167` (coral) \| `F9E795` (gold) \| `2F3C7E` (navy) \|
65	\| Warm Terracotta \| `B85042` (terracotta) \| `E7E8D1` (sand) \| `A7BEAE` (sage) \|
66	\| Ocean Gradient \| `065A82` (deep blue) \| `1C7293` (teal) \| `21295C` (midnight) \|
67	\| Charcoal Minimal \| `36454F` (charcoal) \| `F2F2F2` (off-white) \| `212121` (black) \|
68	\| Teal Trust \| `028090` (teal) \| `00A896` (seafoam) \| `02C39A` (mint) \|
69	\| Berry & Cream \| `6D2E46` (berry) \| `A26769` (dusty rose) \| `ECE2D0` (cream) \|
70	\| Sage Calm \| `84B59F` (sage) \| `69A297` (eucalyptus) \| `50808E` (slate) \|
71	\| Cherry Bold \| `990011` (cherry) \| `FCF6F5` (off-white) \| `2F3C7E` (navy) \|
72
73	### For Each Slide
74
75	Every slide needs a visual element — image, chart, icon, or shape. Text-only slides are forgettable.
76
77	Layout options:
78	- Two-column (text left, illustration on right)
79	- Icon + text rows (icon in colored circle, bold header, description below)
80	- 2x2 or 2x3 grid (image on one side, grid of content blocks on other)
81	- Half-bleed image (full left or right side) with content overlay
82
83	Data display:
84	- Large stat callouts (big numbers 60-72pt with small labels below)
85	- Comparison columns (before/after, pros/cons, side-by-side options)
86	- Timeline or process flow (numbered steps, arrows)
87
88	Visual polish:
89	- Icons in small colored circles next to section headers
90	- Italic accent text for key stats or taglines
91
92	### Typography
93
94	Choose an interesting font pairing — don't default to Arial. Pick a header font with personality and pair it with a clean body font.
95
96	\| Header Font \| Body Font \|
97	\|-------------\|-----------\|
98	\| Georgia \| Calibri \|
99	\| Arial Black \| Arial \|
100	\| Calibri \| Calibri Light \|
101	\| Cambria \| Calibri \|
102	\| Trebuchet MS \| Calibri \|
103	\| Impact \| Arial \|
104	\| Palatino \| Garamond \|
105	\| Consolas \| Calibri \|
106
107	\| Element \| Size \|
108	\|---------\|------\|
109	\| Slide title \| 36-44pt bold \|
110	\| Section header \| 20-24pt bold \|
111	\| Body text \| 14-16pt \|
112	\| Captions \| 10-12pt muted \|
113
114	### Spacing
115
116	- 0.5" minimum margins
117	- 0.3-0.5" between content blocks
118	- Leave breathing room—don't fill every inch
119
120	### Avoid (Common Mistakes)
121
122	- **
