Design Philosophy

Decks designed for **reading and sharing**, not live presentation:

• Each slide self-explanatory without verbal commentary
• Logical flow when scrolling
• All necessary context within each slide
• Optimized for social media sharing

See `references/design-guidelines.md` for:

• Audience-specific principles
• Visual hierarchy
• Content density guidelines
• Color and typography selection
• Font recommendations

See `references/layouts.md` for layout options.
