Geo Magazine Slides

Geographic Magazine Presentation

Create high-end editorial presentation decks modeled after luxury geographic magazines. The style combines large-format photography placeholders, clean serif/sans-serif typography, a bold red-and-gray color system, and structured data visualizations.

Reference Source

• Type: Uploaded artifact (PPTX)
• Reference artifact type: PPTX
• Effective Reference File Type: PPTX
• Fonts extracted from reference: Oranienbaum (serif headings), Liter (sans-serif body)

Supported Outputs

• PPTX (default and primary)

Default Output Selection

• If user explicitly requests a format, use that format
• Otherwise, default to PPTX

Workflow

1. Gather Content Requirements

Collect from the user:

• Topic: What geographic collection is being presented (city, region, properties, landmarks)
• Items: The individual items/locations to feature (target ~20 items for full structure)
• Data points: Key metrics per item (prices, sizes, dates, ratings — varies by domain)
• Visual assets: Available photos or confirm use of dark placeholder rectangles
• Narrative flow: Preferred grouping by region, category, or ranking

2. Read the Style and Structure Contracts

Before creating any slides, read both reference files to internalize the visual language:

• references/style_contract.md — Full color palette (exact hex), typography system, layout rules with measurements, image/chart treatment, and slide-specific layout patterns
• references/structure_contract.md — Exact 15-slide sequence, section hierarchy, content block patterns, and mandatory elements checklist

3. Plan the Slide Deck

Map content to the required 15-slide sequence (see structure contract). For each slide:

• Determine slide type (cover, overview, section divider, detail, chart, theme, closing)
• Assign text content and hierarchy levels
• Plan image placeholder positions (dark rectangles, NEVER external image downloads)
• Prepare data for charts (horizontal bar chart on slide 5, vertical bar chart on slide 9)

4. Create the Presentation

Build the deck slide by slide following the style contract exactly.

CRITICAL: Color Palette (Non-Negotiable)

NEVER use cream, beige, brown, copper, or gold tones. The background must be gray, and the accent must be the exact red #D32F2F.

Typography Rules

• Headings: Oranienbaum serif, ALL CAPS, black (#000000)
• Body: Liter sans-serif, sentence case, dark gray (#333333)
• Emphasis: Red (#D32F2F) for prices, locations, key statistics, bullet dots
• Taglines: Liter, ALL CAPS, red (#D32F2F)
• Captions/Labels: Liter, ALL CAPS, 9 pt
• Red underline: Short horizontal rule (~1" wide, 4–6 px, #D32F2F) beneath main titles

CRITICAL: Cover Slide Layout (Must Match Exactly)

• Left ~45%: Light-gray panel with:
  • Thin red vertical accent bar on left edge (~0.1" wide, ~4" tall)
  • Title: Oranienbaum, 52 pt, ALL CAPS, black
  • Tagline: Liter, 16 pt, ALL CAPS, red (#D32F2F)
• Right ~55%: Full-height B&W hero photograph
  • Black diagonal accent bar crossing lower portion (~1" wide)
  • Red diagonal accent bar parallel to black one (~0.6" wide)
• White rectangle at bottom-right corner
• NO footer text on cover

CRITICAL: Overview Grid (Slide 2)

• 5-column x 4-row grid showing ALL 20 items
• Each card: Dark placeholder rectangle (~3.06" x 0.97") + property name (bold, ALL CAPS) + location tag (red, "| LOCATION" format)
• Vary placeholder shades: #1A1A1A, #222222, #252525, #282828, #2A2A2A, #2D2D2D, #303030, #333333, #353535
• Title above grid: Oranienbaum, 38 pt, ALL CAPS

CRITICAL: Chart Slides (Slides 5 and 9 — Must Include Both)

Slide 5 — Horizontal Bar Chart:

• Left side: Horizontal bar chart with black bars, item names on Y-axis, values at bar ends
• Right side: 2x2 grid of white info cards (property name, price in red, brief specs)
• Below cards: Feature heading + 2-column red dot bullet list
• Bottom: Full-width black info bar with market data

Slide 9 — Vertical Bar Chart:

• Top-right: Two metric callout boxes ("MARKET TRENDS: +X% GROWTH", "INVESTMENT: HIGH DEMAND")
• Central: Vertical bar chart with black bars, X-axis=item names, values labeled at tops
• Bottom: Side-by-side bars — black ("MELBOURNE AVG: $X/SQM") + red ("ULTRA-LUXURY RANGE: $X — $X/SQM")

Bar charts MUST use solid black fill. No gradients, no patterns.

CRITICAL: Page Numbering and Footer (Every Slide)

• Red page-number box: Bottom-left, ~0.4" square, red fill (#D32F2F), white number centered
• Footer text: Bottom-right, format "{PUBLICATION TITLE} | {PAGE NUMBER}", Liter 9 pt, ALL CAPS, #333333
• Cover slide (slide 1) has page number but NO footer text
• All other slides (2–15) have BOTH page number and footer

Mandatory Slide Types (Must All Be Present)

1. Section Dividers (slides 3, 6): Left text ~40% + red vertical line + right dark image ~60% + caption
2. Detail Slides (slides 4, 7): Title + red underline + 3-column (image + specs + quote/price)
3. Collection Summaries (slides 5, 8): Comparison cards with property info and features

Image Placeholder Rules

• ALWAYS use dark near-black rectangles (#1A1A1A–353535) for all image areas
• NEVER attempt to download or embed external images
• Vary the specific shade across different placeholders for visual interest
• Hero images on section dividers: Large dark rectangle filling ~60% of slide
• Grid thumbnails: Smaller dark rectangles (~3.06" x 0.97")
• Floor plan placeholders: Light gray rectangles with red dot markers

Price and Button Styling

• Price callouts: Red text (#D32F2F), Liter, 18–22 pt, bold
• Price boxes: Red filled rectangle (#D32F2F) with white text OR black filled rectangle with white text
• Bottom info bars: Full-width black bar (#000000) with white ALL CAPS text
• Accent bottom bars: Red bar (#D32F2F) with white text (used alongside black bars)

5. Font Handling for CJK Content

When the presentation includes Chinese, Japanese, or Korean text:

• Headings: Use Noto Serif SC (or equivalent CJK serif) in place of Oranienbaum
• Body: Use Noto Sans SC (or equivalent CJK sans-serif) in place of Liter
• Maintain ALL CAPS heading style where applicable; for CJK use bold weight for emphasis
• Preserve the red accent color #D32F2F for emphasis regardless of script
