# PPTX Creation, Editing & Analysis
## Design Principles
**CRITICAL**: Before creating any presentation:
1. **Consider the subject matter**: What tone, industry, or mood does it suggest?
2. **Check for branding**: Consider brand colors and identity
3. **Match palette to content**: Select colors that reflect the subject
4. **State your approach**: Explain design choices before writing code
## Requirements
- Use web-safe fonts: Arial, Helvetica, Times New Roman, Georgia, Courier New, Verdana, Tahoma, Trebuchet MS, Impact
- Create clear visual hierarchy through size, weight, and color
- Ensure readability: strong contrast, appropriate text sizes, clean alignment
- Be consistent: repeat patterns, spacing, and visual language

## Visual Details Options
**Geometric Patterns**:
- Diagonal section dividers
- Asymmetric column widths (30/70, 40/60)
- Rotated text headers at 90° or 270°
- Circular/hexagonal frames for images
- Overlapping shapes for depth
**Typography Treatments**:
- Extreme size contrast (72pt headlines vs 11pt body)
- All-caps headers with wide letter spacing
- Monospace for data/stats/technical content
- Outlined text for emphasis
**Layout Innovations**:
- Full-bleed images with text overlays
- Sidebar column for navigation/context
- Modular grid systems (3×3, 4×4 blocks)
- Magazine-style multi-column layouts
**Background Treatments**:
- Solid color blocks (40-60% of slide)
- Gradient fills (vertical or diagonal)
- Split backgrounds
- Negative space as design element
## Layout Tips for Charts/Tables
- **Two-column layout (PREFERRED)**: Header spans full width, then text in one column, chart/table in other
- **Full-slide layout**: Let featured content take entire slide
- **NEVER vertically stack**: Don't place charts below text in single column
