Slides
Slides
Slide decks in the Seeds of Renaissance system: talks, calls, workshops, pitches. Part of the SoR design system. Status lives in beads (bd show design-34t.12).
What we need
A deck template with these slide types, built only from the system:
| Slide | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Title | Talk title (Polyamine), speaker, date or event, logo on its disc |
| Section | A chapter break: one or two words of Polyamine on a ground, perhaps a woodcut |
| Content | A heading and up to five short points, or a short paragraph |
| Quote | A pull quote in Restora with attribution (the length rule: past ~10 words it's Restora) |
| Image | A full-bleed photograph with a caption as a plate (Fig. N) |
| Image + text | Plate on one side, heading and text on the other |
| Numbers or list | A calendar-style list of dates, or a short numbered list |
| Closing | Call to action (e.g. "Come to a call"), links, logo |
Brief for a new session
Read first: BUILD.md, voice.md, type.md (top section), colour.md, layout.md, graphics.md, and youtube.md for how the fixed-size thumbnails were done (artboard + --thumb-* tokens + .thumb-frame scaling): slides work the same way.
Build
- A fixed slide scale:
--slide-*tokens insystem/tokens.cssfor a 1920 × 1080 artboard (title, heading, body, label, quote sizes). The web scale is fluid and doesn't transfer. Body text must read from the back of a room: nothing under ~28px on the artboard. .slidecomponents in a commented "Slides (fixed 1920×1080)" block insystem/components.src.css(rebuild withpython3 system/build-css.py). Reuse grounds, torn edges, woodcuts, plates, the logo disc.examples/slides/index.html: every slide type above with real SoR copy (from voice.md, brand.md and the manifesto), scaled to fit the page, plus a strip of thumbnails as a deck overview.- Rules from the system: white default ground, paper and sunlight sometimes, at most one night slide per section; red only as the logo's own red or red woodcuts; Polyamine under ~10 words, Restora beyond; four faces only.
Then decide with Rufus whether to also produce the deck through the Claude Slides artifact type (exports .pptx and PDF) using these rules. Keep this HTML version as the reference either way.
Finish: add the example to BUILD.md's "copy" table and the README examples table, update beads, commit, git push, republish (python3 system/build-site.py && fl --yes site from this folder).
Prompt to start a session: Read projects/sor-design-system/slides.md, section "Brief for a new session", and follow it.
