Can I change the topic and slide count?

Yes. Keep the paper, type and color grammar while selecting or extending the layouts for your exact count. Agree the length from content and duration if unspecified. Twelve recipes are options, not a mandatory sequence, and a fictional example does not supply your project’s evidence.

Do I need new image generation?

Not for suitable supplied or bundled images. The catalog has fourteen artworks with several subject-specific entries; plan the imagery by page with no fixed quota and no repeated pictorial source. Fresh generation is optional and may cost separately through FAL or the host account. Disclose unresolved frames before considering a deck complete.

Can I edit it and open it in PowerPoint?

Yes. Edit text, pictures, order, colors, layouts and notes in the HTML, then Save. Named palettes are generation choices, not editor themes. Current PPTX export uses the embedded menu without a mandatory Node/Chromium export toolchain; Python builds/checks the source and optional media helpers use Node. Text/notes and pictures remain separately editable, but artwork/decorative layers are rendered. Check fonts/wrapping in PowerPoint, Keynote or WPS.

Chromatic Futures Deck

Previews from the publisher

Turn workshop material into a sequence of invitations, observations, questions, artifacts and next actions. Chromatic Futures Deck uses tactile paper collage, cream margins and broad editorial color bands to make a futures discussion approachable. Its neighborhood-workshop story is fictional; the evidence, message and exact presentation length come from your brief.

What you get

Twelve adaptable roles: dark invitation, quiet premise, stacked bands, image-led listening, three-image signals, question, workshop grid, artifact study, authored principle, two-project gallery, action plan and violet close. Select, combine, reorder or extend them to the agreed count; neither the recipe inventory nor the example sets a default length.
A coherent analog system with torn/scanned-paper fibers, dry pastel/crayon marks, occasional anonymous grayscale halftone hands, narrow rails and offset cards. Quiet Avenir Next/Trebuchet-style humanist typography supports broad pink, lilac, orange and mint fields, charcoal opening pages and a vivid violet close. Avoid glossy 3D and generic repeated title/photo pages.
Three generation-time palettes—Printed Futures, Quiet Fieldbook and Evening Workshop—with one chosen per deck. Fourteen local catalog artworks include landscapes, hands/material studies, listening and mapping motifs, a community scene, garden and dinner gathering. Some have subject restrictions; catalog suitability must be checked against the new topic.
A self-contained 1280×720 HTML presentation with page navigation, thumbnails, notes, editing, presentation mode and print styling. Copy, labels and diagram objects stay editable around the artwork. The installation contains style recipes, reference guidance and build/media tools; the small schema fixture is not a finished custom demo.
Requested PPTX export preserves native text/notes and separate pictures, with backgrounds, SVG decoration and complex effects rendered into layers. Print/PDF gives one 16:9 page per slide. Confirm fonts and actual output in the target application rather than promising every object as a native PowerPoint shape.

Before you choose

Read the workshop argument without the collage: does each page distinguish what was noticed, what is imagined and what someone should do next? Restore the visual texture only after that sequence is clear, so the material warmth supports an intelligible discussion rather than disguising repeated or unsupported claims.

Good fit

A futures lab or workshop facilitator has approved observations, discussion questions and a next-step story.
A team wants consistent but varied pages for explanations, comparisons, participant listening and artifacts.
A creator can supply a clear audience, source material, language and desired length, then review the presentation at full size.

Not for

Copying existing collage artwork, source wording, recognizable faces, logos, identities or protected characters.
Automated research or verification of a futures claim, or treating a fictional neighborhood example as observed community evidence.
A deck requiring every background, decoration and chart object to remain native PowerPoint shapes; exported decorative layers are pictures.

How to use

You say/chromatic-futures-deck Create a twelve-page neighborhood futures workshop deck with original paper collages.

Provide the topic, audience, key messages/source facts, content language and exact page count including opening/closing unless stated otherwise. If no count is chosen, agree a page plan from the material and duration. Keep observations, interpretations, imagined possibilities and proposed actions distinguishable.
Choose a palette and a narrative with one useful job per page. Select from invitation, premise, listening/signals, question, workshop, artifacts, gallery and action roles without forcing all twelve into the story. Replace fictional example content and avoid padding with repeated claims or different crops of one image.
Choose supplied pictures first, then one route: suitable library reuse, generation for gaps or all-new artwork. Reuse is the fallback when no route is selected or no supported generator is available. Record page/slot/subject/ratio/palette/prompt/result. Use each pictorial source once; crop/rotation/recolor does not create an independent asset. Functional SVG primitives may repeat.
Check catalog subjects before reuse: town/boat imagery is community-specific, the watering-can scene fits gardening/growth, and the night table fits gatherings. Unmatched or failed slots remain identified frames, not completed art. For new art use slot ratios from the kit, with built-in generation or the provided FAL helper/FAL_KEY. FAL tasks cost separately, are submitted once and then checked/fetched rather than automatically resubmitted after failure.
Compose from style-kit recipes with new text, alt text, images and data by node ID, removing unused objects. Run the Python compose/build/static-check steps, resolving unfilled images and leftover example strings against the agreed count. Python 3 handles core building/checks; Node supports optional media helpers. Embed resources and keep below the package’s 20 MB ceiling, optimizing and rechecking when flagged.
Inspect every 1280×720 page over local HTTP for color-area balance, torn edges, image uniqueness, readable type, contrast, hierarchy, crops/bounds and correct numbering/notes. Test edits, block changes, colors/layouts, notes, undo/redo, Save and reopen. Presentation should disable editing and hide idle controls. A static pass is not visual or editorial acceptance.
Deliver the standalone HTML, which opens in page view; Edit/E enters the editor. Automatic browser recovery is local, while Save (Cmd/Ctrl+S) writes a portable HTML file. Interface and content languages are independent, with framework CJK/RTL support. Export/check/inspect requested PPTX or PDF separately; no per-style theme chooser exists in the shared editor.
