Japanese Hand-Drawn Editorial PPT Skill

Use this skill when a deck should feel quiet, thoughtful, human, artistic, and refined, with delicate Japanese lifestyle magazine illustration.

Style Intent

Create high-end editorial PPT slides with a Japanese hand-drawn illustration style.

• Background: soft warm off-white paper texture, slightly grainy.
• Main visual: delicate hand-drawn pencil or ink illustration.
• Illustration line: thin, uneven, slightly imperfect, natural, and organic.
• Color: mostly monochrome line art with very light watercolor fills.
• Typography: clean Japanese-style sans-serif, light weight, generous line spacing.
• Layout: asymmetric editorial composition with large negative space.
• Finish: soft, calm, human, slightly imperfect, and refined.
• Aspect ratio: 16:9 unless the user explicitly asks otherwise.

Required Palette

• Warm White: #F8F6F2
• Ink Black: #2B2B2B
• Soft Gray: #BDBDBD
• Muted Indigo: #6C7A89
• Pale Wash: #EAE7E1

Non-Negotiables

• Keep contrast gentle; avoid harsh black-on-white intensity.
• Use hand-drawn lines, small annotations, and minimal dividers.
• Use muted indigo only as a very light accent.
• Use pale watercolor fills sparingly.
• Keep typography light, calm, and spacious.
• Do not center everything; use asymmetric balance.
• Do not use sharp geometric tech elements, glossy effects, heavy shadows, bold colors, cartoon styling, or perfect vector-tech diagrams.
• Preserve the feeling of quiet human craft.

Workflow

1. Read the source and identify the human or conceptual story.
2. Decide the soft illustration metaphor for each slide.
3. Choose a pattern from references/slide-patterns.md.
4. Apply references/style-system.md.
5. Use references/ppt-master-integration.md when generating with PPT master.
6. Validate with references/qa-checklist.md.
