Creative Mode

Cream paper canvas with confident multi-color (green, pink, orange, yellow) accents and Archivo Black display.

A single self-contained HTML deck — typography, palette, decorative system, and slide vocabulary are all tuned together. Mixing layouts across templates breaks the system; stay inside this one.

At a glance

• Scheme: light
• Formality: medium
• Density: medium-high
• Slides in demo: 8

Best for

Anything that should feel design-led and confident: creative agency pitches, design studio decks, ad shop credentials, brand creative reviews, art-direction reviews. Also a great unexpected pick for a tech talk, research findings, or finance review when the speaker wants to lead with taste rather than convention.

Avoid for

Contexts that demand institutional restraint and a quiet authority — the saturated multi-accent palette will read as expressive, not formal.

Workflow

1. Clone example.html AND the assets/ folder into the user's workspace. This template ships an assets/deck-stage.js runtime (keyboard navigation, stage rendering); the HTML references it as assets/deck-stage.js, so the file must sit next to the cloned HTML or that path will 404 in the generated artifact and navigation will silently break. Inlining the JS into a single <script> block in the HTML is an acceptable alternative when a single self-contained file is preferred.
2. Replace placeholder content with the user's real headlines, body copy, numbers, names, dates, and section labels. Match existing dimensions when swapping image placeholders.
3. Preserve the design system. Never substitute fonts, recolor the palette, restructure the layout grid, or strip decorative elements (corner brackets, paper grain, geometric shapes, illustrated SVGs). They are part of the identity.
4. Adjust deck length by duplicating layouts. If the user has more content than the demo holds, duplicate an existing slide of the most appropriate layout. If less, drop slides from the bottom. Update page-number labels.
5. Designing missing layouts: if a slide needs a layout the template doesn't have, design it from scratch using the same fonts, palette, decorative vocabulary, spacing rhythm, and component grammar — never bail to a different template.
6. Keep the navigation runtime as shipped. If the deck ships an assets/deck-stage.js or inline keyboard handler, leave it intact.
