# Presentation Core — Design Specification

## IV. Signature Design Elements

Presentation Core provides a broad structural vocabulary for general business,
teaching, project, and reporting decks. The neutral prototype paint exists only
to expose hierarchy and slot geometry; it is not an identity segment. Color,
typography, logo, voice, and icon treatment remain downstream decisions.

| 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 authored Layouts provide familiar title, content, comparison, caption, picture, and blank starting points without claiming source-template preservation. |
| 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 typed `picture` slots for one-image, paired-image, captioned-image, and screenshot scenarios. |
| Data system | Chart and table layouts declare typed `chart` / `table` slots. Their authored groups remain complete SVG fallbacks; optional replacement metadata can materialize PowerPoint-native data objects only when that export path is requested. |
| 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. |
