# Presentation Core — Design Specification

## I. Template Overview

Presentation Core is a structure-only library for general business, teaching,
project, and reporting decks. Its regular set mirrors the familiar PowerPoint
layout vocabulary; its advanced set adds asymmetric, editorial, image-led,
process, and data-story compositions without introducing industry-specific
content.

The light neutral preview treatment exists only to expose hierarchy and slot
geometry. Color, typography, logo, voice, and icon treatment remain downstream
identity decisions and are not owned by this layout.

## IV. Signature Design Elements

| Element | Template-specific behavior |
|---|---|
| Shared frame | One restrained Master background and a 64 px horizontal safe frame keep the roster visually coherent without imposing brand chrome. |
| Regular vocabulary | Nine familiar PowerPoint layouts preserve the expected title, content, comparison, caption, picture, and blank starting points. |
| Editorial rhythm | Hero, split, card, process, and data layouts alternate breathing and dense structures instead of repeating one card grid. |
| Image system | Picture layouts use explicit native picture regions for one-image, paired-image, captioned-image, and screenshot scenarios. |
| Native data system | Dedicated chart and table layouts use real native object slots plus a concise interpretation rail, while retaining complete SVG fallbacks. |
| Text entry | General body and object slots begin at the upper-left; centered alignment is reserved for KPI values, short process nodes, and focused statements. |
| Neutral framing | Pale panels and hairlines reveal intended zones in the prototype; downstream deck or brand skin controls final paint. |
