# Memphis Pattern Pop

Create complete 16:9 Japanese slide images in the Memphis Pattern Pop style. Turn business lessons into finished slide boards whose cards, arrows, labels, and diagrams stay readable as thumbnails while keeping this family's distinct look.

Generate each slide as one finished PNG with image_gen: background, Japanese text, diagrams, objects, icons, texture, and layout together. Do not rebuild the design with PPTX shapes, HTML/CSS, SVG, or local text overlays.

If this skill arrives as a ZIP, extract it first and read this file plus all required references. Do not infer the style from the ZIP name or cover alone.

## Required Reading

Read these before generating:

1. references/input-workflow.md
2. references/visual-system.md
3. references/slide-recipes.md
4. references/quality-bar.md

Inspect assets/reference-slides/style-reference.png, samples/contact_sheet.png, and all ten sample slides. Treat the ten samples as authoritative finished examples. Preserve the whole family's pure white ground swarmed at the margins by teal and lavender squiggles, zigzag bolts, halftone dot corner fields, small filled triangles, plus-sign and circle confetti, a striped half-circle and a black corner wedge; enormous ultra-bold Japanese gothic headlines with characters split across teal with inner halftone dots, hot pink with a white keyline, and solid black, all with hard black offset shadows; long white subline banners with heavy black outlines and notched arrow-tail ends over a lavender bar; flat colour blocks in mint-teal, hot pink and yellow opened by hollow circle numerals; bold black-outlined cartoon illustration with halftone shading; heavy solid black cut-out arrows; white ribbon label banners with heavy black outlines, folded notched tails and dotted triangle corners; a long white rounded bottom capsule with a thick black outline, a hot-pink target icon and a yellow marker underline. Do not copy only the cover layout.

## Non-Negotiable Workflow

1. Parse numbered user text into an ordered slide plan.
2. Preserve meaning while compressing long copy into one headline, one subline, exactly three short labels, and one bottom takeaway.
3. Choose one role from references/slide-recipes.md.
4. Generate exactly one complete 16:9 Japanese slide image at a time with image_gen.
5. Save as slide_01.png, slide_02.png, and so on.
6. Compare each result with the bundled contact sheet and quality bar.
7. Regenerate unreadable Japanese, invented details, logo-like marks, weak hierarchy, or generic template output.
8. If PPTX or PDF is requested, make PNG slide art first and place each PNG full-bleed into the delivery file.

## Design DNA

Style: Memphis Pattern Pop — Japanese 80s-postmodern business slide. Design DNA: pure white ground swarmed at every margin by loose Memphis debris — teal and lavender squiggle waves, sharp zigzag bolts, dotted halftone corner fields in hot pink and teal, small filled triangles in yellow and teal, plus-sign and small-circle confetti, a striped half-circle, and a solid black corner wedge; the headline is enormous ultra-bold Japanese gothic with characters split across colours, some filled teal with a black halftone dot texture inside them and a hard black drop offset, others filled hot pink with a thick white keyline and black offset shadow, the rest solid black, all set on white with visible chunky outlines; the subline sits inside a long white banner with a heavy black outline whose ends are cut into notched arrow tails, decorated with small black speed ticks at both ends and underlined by a lavender bar peeking out from below; the body is ONE dominant arrangement of three flat colour blocks in mint-teal, hot pink and yellow, each block a plain rectangle with no border, opened at its top-left by a hollow circle outline holding a black numeral, filled with a bold black-outlined cartoon illustration flat-coloured in the palette with halftone dot shading, and closed at its bottom by a white ribbon banner with a heavy black outline whose ends fold into small notched tails, the label set in heavy black type inside it with a dotted lavender or pink triangle tucked into one ribbon corner; heavy solid black cut-out arrows step between the blocks; the bottom is one long white rounded capsule with a thick black outline holding huge black text with a hot-pink emphasis phrase underlined by a yellow marker stroke, a hot-pink circular target icon punched into its left end and small black speed ticks at its right; palette is white, teal, hot pink, yellow, black, lavender and orange; everything is flat, chunky-outlined, high-energy, playful and deliberately over-decorated, no gradients, no photo.

Make every metaphor a Memphis object: blockers become a zigzag path smashing into striped half-circles and lightning wedges; change becomes a lavender zigzag seam with a cluttered grey block facing two clean flat colour lanes; steps become three flat colour blocks with hollow circle numerals; improvement becomes a ring of three fat colour arcs with chunky arrowheads and an inner spiral squiggle; checks become a striped-corner board of oversized check rows struck in hot pink; roadmaps become a chunky dashed zigzag path through flag milestones to a striped half-circle goal; priority becomes a thick-ruled 2x2 board with one hot-pink flooded quadrant; daily use becomes a three-cell colour strip over a dotted lavender timeline; recap becomes a tilted white capsule with three stacked colour action strips and a punched target icon. Do not reduce the family to three equal cards with the right colors.

## Prompt Contract

Use this structure for every image:

Create exactly one complete 16:9 Japanese slide image.
Style: Memphis Pattern Pop.
Design DNA: pure white ground swarmed by Memphis debris — squiggles, zigzags, halftone dot fields, confetti triangles and plus-signs, a striped half-circle, a black corner wedge; enormous Japanese gothic headline split across teal with inner halftone dots, hot pink with a white keyline and solid black, with hard black offset shadows; a long white subline banner with a heavy black outline and notched arrow-tail ends over a lavender bar; one dominant arrangement of flat mint-teal, hot-pink and yellow blocks opened by hollow circle numerals and filled with black-outlined cartoons; heavy black cut-out arrows; exactly three white ribbon label banners with notched folded tails and dotted triangle corners; a long white rounded bottom capsule with a thick black outline, a hot-pink target icon and a yellow marker underline
Required Japanese text:
- Headline: [short headline]
- Subline: [short subline]
- Labels: [exactly 3 short labels]
- Bottom takeaway: [one concise sentence]
Slide role: [cover / problem / before-after / three-step / loop / checklist / roadmap / matrix / case / recap]
Composition: follow the matching recipe and inspect samples/contact_sheet.png. Use one dominant role-specific metaphor from references/slide-recipes.md instead of a generic card grid.
Generate background, text, diagrams, objects, texture, and layout together.
Avoid extra microcopy, page numbers, fake logos, QR codes, URLs, dates, prices, watermarks, photorealistic people, equal card grids, and generic PowerPoint/Canva/Gamma output.

## Output Defaults

- One 16:9 PNG per slide, Japanese text only, thumbnail-readable.
- File names slide_01.png through slide_NN.png in content order.
- Keep the family look consistent across every slide in a deck.
