About this design
Where the Atrium style comes from, and what it signals.
Atrium draws from organic, tactile editorial design: the warm Mediterranean palette of a studio portfolio, the typographic tradition of architecture books where serif headings share the page with generous margins. The arch is its organizing motif, appearing on image frames, number tokens and decorative ornaments, each one accompanied by a thin terracotta offset echo that gives the shape a slight depth.
The palette runs from cream (#F7F2E9) background to terracotta (#C4704F) as the primary accent, sage (#7A8C6F) as support, and deep olive ink (#33392B) for headings. Fraunces, a Google Font with an Old Style character, handles headlines, and exactly one word per heading is set in italic terracotta. Work Sans handles kickers and body text. Layouts are asymmetric with wide margins and soft olive rules at low opacity.
The theme suits contexts where the argument runs on warmth and considered taste rather than data velocity. Architecture studios, interior design practices, independent publishers, wellness brands, and education programs in design-adjacent fields all fit.

The slide design prompt
This is the exact text that gets sent to your AI.
Create a presentation using the 'Atrium' theme. Background: warm cream (#F7F2E9). Palette: sage green (#7A8C6F), terracotta (#C4704F), soft sand (#EFE7D8) and deep olive ink (#33392B). The signature motif is the arch: a shape with a fully rounded top and a square bottom, used for image areas, portrait frames, number tokens and decorative elements. Behind each filled arch, draw a thin terracotta outline arch offset a few pixels as an echo. Headlines: 'Fraunces', with exactly one word set in italic terracotta. Body and kickers: 'Work Sans' (both are Google Fonts); kickers are small terracotta uppercase with wide letter-spacing. Rules are 1px olive lines at low opacity. Decorative ornaments are small trios of arches in sage, terracotta and sand. Charts: bars with fully rounded tops like arch windows, in sage and terracotta. Compositions are asymmetric but quiet, with generous margins. Strictly avoid: pure white, pure black, sharp-cornered imagery, neon or saturated colors, dense layouts. Use this theme for my slides. Ask me what the presentation is about first, then apply the theme to every slide.View this prompt and its data on GitHub
