About this design

Where the Material Style style comes from, and what it signals.

Material Style is a Google Material Design presentation prompt based on Material 3, the system Google documents in public at m3.material.io. You get the baseline color scheme generated from the seed #6750A4, containers that step in tone from #FEF7FF to #ECE6F0, and the shape scale of 28px panes, 16px panels and 8px chips. It is an unofficial homage with no license or endorsement from Google.

The signature layout on these Material 3 slides comes from Android apps. A navigation rail runs down the left of each content slide and lists your sections, with the current one in a lavender pill and the slide number in the FAB at the top. Type is Google Sans Flex, the variable face Google released as open source in 2025, set on the Material type scale.

For accents the prompt uses Material 3 Expressive shapes: scalloped cookies on the cover, a four-leaf clover behind customer quotes and wavy progress bars for key results. Your content stays in calm tonal containers. You close on a Material dialog with a text button and a filled button, the pattern Android users already tap through on their phones.

Use it for

  • Android and mobile app product reviews for teams that build with Material components
  • Beta readouts that track key results against targets
  • UX research shares that pair a funnel chart with customer quotes
  • Consumer app pitches that need a friendly look with no clipart
  • Roadmap decks where each section needs a clear place in the flow

Skip it for

  • Board or investor meetings that expect conservative polish; Boardroom or Goldman Sachs Style suit that room
  • Enterprise software reviews with square corners and a strict grid; IBM Style follows the Carbon system
  • Developer talks in dark rooms; Telemetry or Circuit keep the dark palette engineers expect

The presentation design prompt

This is the exact text that gets sent to your AI.

Create a presentation in the 'Material Style' theme, an unofficial homage to Material 3, the public design system from Google. Color: every hex comes from the Material 3 baseline scheme generated from the seed #6750A4. Surface #FEF7FF is the slide background; containers step up in tone: #F7F2FA, #F3EDF7, #ECE6F0, and white #FFFFFF for the innermost panel. Primary #6750A4 with #FFFFFF text, primary container #EADDFF with #21005D text, secondary container #E8DEF8 with #1D192B, tertiary #7D5260, tertiary container #FFD8E4 with #31111D, text #1D1B20, supporting text #49454F, outline #79747E, dividers #CAC4D0, inverse primary #D0BCFF. Typography: 'Google Sans Flex' (Google Fonts) only, on the Material type scale: display 56 to 64px weight 400, headlines 28 to 32px 400, titles 16 to 22px 500, body 14 to 16px 400, labels 11 to 14px 500. Sentence case everywhere. Shape follows hierarchy: 28px corners on panes and dialogs, 16px on inner panels and the FAB, 12px on outlined cards, 8px on chips, full radius on buttons, bars and indicators. Elevation is tonal, never a shadow. Signature layout: content slides carry a navigation rail, an 88px column on the left with a 56px FAB (#EADDFF, 16px radius) holding the two-digit slide number, then five section destinations, each a 24px filled icon over a 12px label; the current section sits in a 56x32 #E8DEF8 pill. Right of the rail, a #F3EDF7 pane with 28px corners holds a one-sentence headline and the content. Title slide: #FEF7FF, product name in 22px #6750A4 top-left, display title, presenter with an initials avatar in #FFD8E4, and Material 3 Expressive shapes filling the right half: a 9-sided scalloped cookie in #EADDFF, a soft burst in #FFD8E4, a #6750A4 circle and a #E8DEF8 pill. Data slides: pill-shaped bars on #E8DEF8 tracks, the bar that proves the headline in #6750A4 and the rest in #D0BCFF, values at the bar end; key results as wavy progress indicators (sine-wave segment in #6750A4, flat #E8DEF8 track, stop dot at the end); one hero number per slide in a filled #6750A4 container. Roadmaps: a segmented button for the filter, cookie-shaped milestone markers, status as 8px chips. Quote slides: full-bleed #FFD8E4 with a cropped four-leaf clover shape in #EFB8C8. The ask: a Material dialog, #ECE6F0 with 28px corners over a 32% black scrim, centered icon and headline, terms in a divided list, a text button and a filled #6750A4 button bottom-right. Footer: no rule and no deck name; data slides end with an 11px #49454F source line. Strictly avoid: Google logos, the G mark or the four-color Google palette, claiming affiliation with Google, drop shadows, gradients, all-caps labels, grids of identical cards, more than one hero number per slide, stock photos, emoji, and shapes behind body text.

Use this theme for my slides. Ask me what the presentation is about first, then apply the theme to every slide.
