# Presentations > Slide templates, animation, and the core deck structure. --- LLMS index: [llms.txt](/brand/v2.1.0/llms.txt) --- ## Core slides Six of the twelve slide types cover most decks. Build with these first and reach for the other six only when the content actually calls for one — the full table is [below](#the-twelve-types).

## The full deck Twelve slide types cover a complete talk. Each is 16:10 and uses the same tokens as the product surfaces — no separate "presentation theme".

### The twelve types `Core` marks the six that cover most decks. `Example` marks the types the [worked deck](#a-real-deck) below actually demonstrates. | Slide | Core | Example | Purpose | |---|:--:|:--:|---| | Title | ● | ● | Deck opening — display type on midnight | | Agenda | | ● | Numbered outline; current item in `midnight-11` | | Section statement | ● | ● | A single sentence marking a new section | | Three-up | ● | ● | Three parallel points | | Split | | | Before/after or contrast, one half on midnight | | Comparison | | ● | A small table where numbers are the point | | Metric | | ● | One number, large; the label in overline style | | Quote | ● | ● | A single quotation with the accent rule, attributed | | Code showcase | ● | ● | Code on the always-dark surface | | Diagram | | | Line-based system diagram, accent on the focal node | | CTA closer | ● | ● | The one thing you want the audience to do | | Contact | | | Thank-you and a single contact route | ## A real deck [**Slide deck example**](/brand/v2.1.0/downloads/examples/slide-deck.dc.html) — a full client deck at 1920×1080, populated with a realistic consulting narrative rather than lorem text. Arrow keys, `PgUp`/`PgDn`, and `Space` navigate; each slide carries its speaker notes in the source. The specimens above are scaled-down `div`s that show the *shape* of each type. The example is the thing a reader can open, present from, and export. It runs eleven slides and demonstrates nine of the twelve types, plus two **compositions** that are worth naming because they look like new types and are not: - **Roadmap** — a horizontal timeline of the engagement's weeks. It is a Three-up stretched to four steps along a rule: same parallel-points structure, same tokens, one axis added. - **Metric row** — four stat cards across the slide. That is the [KPI row](/brand/v2.1.0/docs/interface/patterns/) from the interface, used on a slide. The single-number **Metric** type is for the one number a section is about; the row is for the four that summarise an engagement. Neither is a thirteenth slide type. If a deck needs an arrangement that is not in the table, compose it from the parts that are. A composition earns a place in the table by turning up in several decks and being written down — not by being used once. Split, Diagram, and Contact are not in the example deck; their specimens are above. ## Rules - 16:10 aspect ratio. - Title slides and section statements use midnight surfaces; content slides use white or `midnight-1`. - `projectious.work` is visible on the title and closing slides. - One idea per slide. If a slide needs a paragraph, it needs to be two slides. ## Animation - Slide transitions: cut or 200ms fade. - Build animations use `--ease-out` at `--duration-standard`. - **Never animate text character-by-character.** - Motion is for revealing structure, not for holding attention. ## Templates and export targets Document templates for LaTeX and Typst are in [`brand/templates/`](https://github.com/projectious-work/brand/tree/main/brand/templates). Both embed brand identity and fall under the brand-asset licence terms — see [Licensing](/brand/v2.1.0/docs/governance/licensing/). Those two are for documents. A **deck** usually has to arrive somewhere a client can open and edit it, so **Google Slides, PowerPoint, and Keynote are first-class targets**, not a downgrade from the HTML deck. The system survives the trip because it asks very little of the format: three fonts, three colour families, 16:10, and no effects. Set up a client-facing deck once and the slide types above are all reproducible as masters. | Route | Use | Notes | |---|---|---| | HTML deck → present | Talks you give yourself | The [example deck](#a-real-deck). Keyboard navigation and speaker notes included | | HTML deck → print to PDF | Sending a deck to be read | Landscape, background graphics on, margins none | | Slides / PowerPoint / Keynote | Decks the client will edit | Build the twelve types as masters; do not rebuild them per deck | | LaTeX / Typst | Documents, not decks | `brand/templates/` | Two things to fix in every native deck tool, because none of them default to the system: replace the theme fonts with **Plus Jakarta Sans, Source Sans 3, and IBM Plex Mono** (embed them, or the deck reflows on the client's machine), and replace the default palette with the brand hex values rather than leaving the tool's approximations of them in the theme. Everything else is subtraction: no shadow presets, no gradient fills, no transition other than a cut or a 200ms fade, no bulleted list where the type table above offers a slide.
