| 3 | Visual-led impact. Let imagery, scale, and rhythm carry the message; minimize copy, maximize presence. For product launches, brand reveals, event openers, promotional decks. |

| 7 | ## 1. Narrative skeleton |
| 8 | |
| 9 | **Image / number leads, words support**: establish a dominant visual hierarchy through a hero image, large number, or short phrase; supporting elements may share the page without competing for focus. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | **Emotional rhythm**: build and release — a run of bold pages punctuated by a quiet one. Pace for feeling, not density. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | **Primary idea stated big**: center each page on a clear takeaway expressed at scale; retain supporting context when the audience needs it to understand or trust that takeaway. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | **Reveal structure**: hold back, then reveal (the product, the result, the tagline) for maximum effect. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Titles are short and evocative — a phrase, not a sentence. |

| 21 | ## 2. Page-structure tendencies |
| 22 | |
| 23 | - Full-bleed imagery with overlay text; a focal hero number or phrase. |
| 24 | - Generous negative space around the primary visual relationship. |
| 25 | - Bold use of the deck's theme color for atmosphere (cover / chapter pages). |
| 26 | |
| 27 | > Hero / full-bleed / breathing-page geometry lives in [`executor-base.md`](../executor-base.md) and the compact [`image-layout-patterns.md`](../image-layout-patterns.md) vocabulary loaded by the image branch; this mode decides *what each page makes primary*. |

| 31 | ## 3. Speaker-notes register |
| 32 | |
| 33 | Energetic, evocative — sets mood and builds anticipation. Short, punchy sentences. Lets the visual do the work and narrates the feeling around it. (Common framework: [`executor-notes.md`](../executor-notes.md) §1.) |

| 37 | ## 4. Page skeleton example |
| 38 | |
| 39 | ``` |
| 40 | Page (reveal): full-bleed product image + one line — "Meet the new standard." |
| 41 | Page (proof): single huge number "10×" + one phrase, vast whitespace |
| 42 | Notes: "Imagine cutting that to seconds. That's what this does." |
| 43 | ``` |
