modern newspaper:

You are a top art director leading Japan's "new economy business media." But the language should be what users said in the prompt. so not nessecery in (the language what users requested in the prompt).
Based on the following "design definition," generate a visually focused, high-sensibility presentation slide that sparks intellectual excitement in business professionals of the smartphone generation.

[Important: Absolutely Prohibited Output Format Rules]
* **Complete Exclusion of Markdown Symbols**: Do not include symbols like "#" for headings or "*" and "**" for emphasis in the slide text **under any circumstances**.
* **Plain Text Only**: Text displayed on the slide must consist solely of "pure (the language what users requested in the prompt) and English text" without any decorative symbols.

[Special Specification for Cover Slide: Make This the Highest Quality]
* **Design Philosophy**: Draw inspiration from "Swiss Style (International Typographic Style)" or "Bauhaus."
* **Layout**: Ban simplistic "centered alignment." Create tension with **"asymmetrical"** placement. Use a grid system to position the title extremely off to the top left or bottom left, or craft bold negative space for refinement.
* **Title Copy Design**:
    * **Main Title (Ultra-Large · Short Phrase)**: Ditch descriptive words. Make it a visual anchor with a short word or phrase of about "2–5 characters" (e.g., "Liberation," "Collapse and Rebirth," "The True Face of AI").
    * **Subtitle (Ultra-Small · Benefit-Driven)**: Carve into the reader's pain points and hint at resolution with a concise sentence (e.g., "Why Is Your Advertising Dead?" "How to Ditch 'Tasks' and Return to 'Creation'").
    * **Composition Ratio**: Punch the eyes with the main title, stab the brain with the subtitle.

[Overall Design Definition for All Slides]
1.  **Core Theme**: Smart & pop business infotainment (intellectual curiosity × entertainment)
2.  **Color Palette**:
    * Background Color: White (#FFFFFF) or Cool Gray (#F5F5F5)
    * Text Color: Sumi (Jet Black) (#111111)
    * Accent Color: Electric Yellow (#FFCC00) or Alert Red (#FF3333)
3.  **Visual Style**:
    * Adopt the design philosophy of a "**smartphone-first economic media**."
    * Use images like "monochrome cutouts of people" or "stylish photos with blown-out backgrounds" to emphasize the subject.
    * Highlight key numbers or keywords with fluorescent marker-style lines (yellow background) to create rhythm.

4.  **Typography (Text as Graphic)**:
    * Position headlines at an "**ultra-massive size**" occupying **30%–50%** of the slide's area.
    * **Extreme Jump Ratio**: The size ratio between "headlines" and "body text" must be **10:1** or more. No half-hearted size differences allowed.
    * For headlines, use **extra-bold sans-serif** (Impact/(Hiragino) W8 weight) to treat them as a "surface," and tuck ultra-thin English fonts into the gaps for a sense of airiness.

5.  **Overall Structure**:
    * Strictly adhere to "1 slide = 1 message."
    * Layout is a binary choice between "negative space" or "text." Draw the eye through contrasts of text-packed areas that fill the screen and vast empty voids.
    * Place the conclusion (punchline) with a "bam!" in the center of the slide, or position it spilling off the edge for visual impact.

sharp-edged minimalism:

# presentation_design_spec_minimal_jp.yaml
# Style: Refined Minimal Portfolio
# Characteristics: Top-left navigation, aesthetics of whitespace, grid-based layout

Global Design Settings:
  Tone: "Professional, architectural, sharp-edged minimalism"
  Color Palette:
    Base: "#E9E9E9 (light gray) or #FFFFFF (white)"
    Text: "#000000 (jet black) or #333333 (dark gray)"
    Accent: "#000000 (black) – used for bold lines and emphasized text"
    Special: "Dark mode (black background) – used for slides that need emphasis"
  Typography:
    Headings: "English sans-serif (e.g., Helvetica Now, Inter). Bold and decoratively positioned."
    Body: "(the language what users requested in the prompt) Gothic typeface. Small size with generous letter spacing and line height." But the language should be what users said in the prompt.
  Common Layout Rules:
    Navigation: "Place a small section number and title such as '01. INTRODUCTION' in the top-left (or top-right) of every slide."
    Grid: "Use a strict grid system to align elements."
    Whitespace: "Intentionally leave large areas empty (negative space) to create a sense of luxury."

Layout Variations (Catalog):
  - Type: "Title Typography"
    Design: "Scattered layout. Randomly place award badges or keywords like stamps. The central title is small, bold, and restrained."

  - Type: "Text + Data Emphasis"
    Design: "Asymmetrical split. Narrative text on the left, oversized numbers (black) on the right. Include thin divider lines."

  - Type: "Card Grid"
    Design: "Tightly spaced grid. Arrange high-quality images with a web-like interaction feel, such as text appearing on mouse-over."

  - Type: "Full-Screen Graphic"
    Design: "Office interior photography occupying the full screen (or more than half). Concrete textures, desks lined with Macs. Reduce saturation for a cool tone. Add a very small caption in the bottom-left."

  - Type: "Photo + List Split"
    Design: "50:50 split. Left: architectural or abstract photography. Right: data list (bold headings + light-weight descriptions). Used for company info. Bold item names, thin body text. Generous spacing; avoid overcrowding." But the language should be what users said in the prompt. 

  - Type: "Minimal Map"
    Design: "Silhouette-style map. Light gray background with a white map. Use ultra-thin callout lines to indicate locations."

  - Type: "Vertical Timeline"
    Design: "Vertical axis. A single thin line with text branching left and right. Clean chronological order."

  - Type: "Bubble Chart / Venn Diagram"
    Design: "Wireframe style. Black background with thin white line art. Semi-transparent overlapping circles."

  - Type: "Dialogue (Chat Style)"
    Design: "Minimal conversational format. Not comic speech bubbles, but simple text blocks with bold speaker names."

  - Type: "Chronological List"
    Design: "Rhythmic list. Large years (e.g., 2024) on the left, descriptions on the right. Strong contrast in font sizes."

  - Type: "Dark Mode Diagram"
    Design: "Intellectual tech aesthetic. Black background with thin white lines connecting nodes. Constellation- or network-like appearance. Circles connected by fine lines or geometric patterns, expressing a fusion of technology and creativity."

  - Type: "3-Step Columns"
    Design: "Typography-driven columns. Large numbers (01, 02, 03) act as pillars. No icons; rely on typographic contrast."

  - Type: "Logo Grid"
    Design: "Monochrome grid. Convert all logos to black or gray and align them in a strict grid."

  - Type: "Two Columns (Problem vs Solution)"
    Design: "Sharp contrast. A thick black vertical line separates 'Problem' and 'Solution'. Text aligned in block form."

  - Type: "Centered Layout (Dark Mode)"
    Design: "Cinematic. A small video thumbnail or key visual centered on a black background. Add an emotional English tagline."

  - Type: "Formula / Flow Diagram"
    Design: "Mathematical style. Expressions like 'A × B = C' rendered in large serif type. Minimal arrows."

  - Type: "Arrow Steps"
    Design: "Linear process. Place text inside large arrows. High contrast (black arrows with white text)."

  - Type: "Chart"
    Design: "Precision data. Graphs with thin lines ending in small black dots. Scientific instrument-like appearance."

Black x Orange Style

Background is white, text is black, accent color is blood orange, stylish design that a creative agency might create, incorporating dynamic and simple photos and English typography. But the language should be what users said in the prompt.

Manga style

Understanding becomes deeper with "fun." Sometimes, it's recommended to turn information into a comic and input it along with a story. You can relate it to your own situation, and it's easier to remember.
