# Modern Pop Grid

Create complete 16:9 Japanese slide images in the Modern Pop Grid 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 off-white textured field inside a thin black keyline frame; white tiles with hard black outlines and offset drop shadows; huge ultra-bold rounded Japanese gothic headlines outlined in black with cobalt, black and coral word alternation; comic speed-line slashes; halftone dot-grid patches and geometric confetti in cobalt, coral, lime and warm yellow; chevron-notched white ribbon subline banner; square corner number tags; chunky black triangular arrows; full-width solid color caption bands; white bottom band with coral emphasis, yellow marker underline, lightbulb badge and starburst. 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: Modern Pop Grid — bold adult-pop Japanese business poster slide. Design DNA: off-white lightly textured paper field enclosed by a thin black keyline frame; a strict poster grid of white tiles with hard black outlines and solid offset drop shadows; huge ultra-bold rounded Japanese gothic headline with a thick black outline and an offset shadow, words alternating cobalt blue, jet black and coral red; comic speed-line slashes flanking the headline; scattered halftone dot-grid patches in cobalt, coral and lime, plus a warm yellow circle, a lime circle, a cobalt quarter-circle and a diagonal cobalt stripe patch as corner confetti; directly under the headline one white chevron-notched ribbon banner with black outline and cobalt shadow holding the subline; the main body is ONE dominant tile grid where each tile carries a square corner number tag (1 cobalt, 2 coral, 3 lime) and a flat vector illustration in cobalt, coral, lime, warm yellow and gray on white; chunky solid black triangular arrows connect the tiles; exactly three full-width solid color caption bands sit at the foot of the tiles holding the labels in heavy gothic; at the bottom one white band with black outline carrying the takeaway, one or two words in coral with a warm yellow marker underline, a yellow lightbulb badge circle at the left and a cobalt starburst at the right; overall punchy, high-contrast, poster-print energy; crisp flat vector illustration, no photo, no realistic people.

Make every metaphor functional: blockers become coral halftone stamps jammed across one workflow tile; change becomes a cramped paper-pile tile flowing into two clean colored lanes; steps become three numbered poster tiles joined by black arrows; improvement becomes a rectangular tile circuit with arrows on the gutters; checks become one board tile with oversized check rows; roadmaps become a stepped staircase of tiles with a flag stamp; priority becomes a 2x2 poster board with one solid yellow winning cell; daily use becomes a storyboard band under one black timeline rule; recap becomes one central action tile with stacked bullet rows. 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: Modern Pop Grid.
Design DNA: off-white textured background inside a thin black keyline frame; white poster tiles with hard black outlines and offset shadows; huge ultra-bold rounded Japanese gothic headline with black outline and cobalt/black/coral word alternation; speed-line slashes and halftone dot-grid confetti in cobalt, coral, lime, warm yellow; chevron-notched white subline banner; one dominant tile grid with square number tags; chunky black triangular arrows; exactly three solid color caption bands; white bottom takeaway band with coral emphasis words 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.
