About this design
Where the Origami style comes from, and what it signals.
Origami borrows from the Japanese craft tradition of transforming flat paper through pure folding. On screen the fold becomes a visual construction: adjacent triangles in two tones of one hue share a ridge edge, the lighter face reading as lit, the darker as shadow. No actual shadows, gradients or rounded corners appear; the fold is entirely built from flat SVG polygons.
The palette is narrow: warm paper #F6F4EF as the ground, ink #2D2A26 for text in Tenor Sans headings and Karla body copy, and a choice of two hue pairs per slide: coral #E25C5C with shadow tone #C44545, or slate #5C7185 with #46586A. A single solid red circle, 26 pixels, #E25C5C, appears on the title and closing slides only. Thin 1px dashed lines in #C9C3B8 extend from shape vertices into empty space, reading as fold lines that continue beyond the shape's edge.
The theme reads as considered and artisanal, suited to design studios, craft-adjacent brands and presentations that need a handmade quality without a literal scrapbook aesthetic. Compositions are always asymmetric with generous empty space: text sits far from the shapes, because the paper needs room.
Use it for
- Design studio and craft brand presentations
- Annual reports for companies with a sustainability or materials story
- Architecture and product design portfolio reviews
- Conference talks where a calm, distinctive visual register sets the speaker apart
Skip it for
- Data-heavy dashboards: the triangular mountain charts sacrifice precision for form
- Dense slide layouts; the theme requires generous empty space to function
The slide design prompt
This is the exact text that gets sent to your AI.
Create a presentation in the 'Origami' theme, folded paper geometry with Japanese restraint. Background: warm paper #F6F4EF; ink #2D2A26; muted gray #8F897E for secondary text. Typography: headings in 'Tenor Sans', body in 'Karla' (both Google Fonts). Signature device: faceted shapes built from adjacent triangles in two tones of one hue to suggest a fold, coral #E25C5C with shadow tone #C44545 or slate #5C7185 with #46586A, drawn as flat SVG polygons sharing a ridge edge. Thin 1px dashed gray (#C9C3B8) fold lines extend horizontally or vertically from shape vertices into empty space. One small solid red circle (#E25C5C, 26px), the sun, appears on the title and closing slides only. Compositions are asymmetric with generous calm space; text blocks sit far from shapes. Charts are triangular two-tone mountains on a shared baseline, peak height encoding value, alternating coral and slate. List separators are dashed fold lines. Strictly avoid: gradients, shadows, rounded corners, more than two hues per slide, dense layouts, decorative borders. 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
