Can I change the topic or presentation length?

Yes. Keep the cream/brush/serif/photo grammar while adding, removing or reordering layouts to the exact agreed count. If unspecified, agree length from content and duration. Twelve recipes are options rather than a default or limit, and fictional journal examples do not establish evidence for a new project.

Is new image generation necessary?

Only for slots not covered by suitable supplied material or the sixteen local catalog assets. Many images are subject-specific; use each pictorial source once with no fixed quota. Fresh imagery may incur provider or host-account charges. Pages can be reviewed with disclosed frames, but those are not finished artwork.

Can I edit it and use PowerPoint?

Yes. Enter Edit for words, pictures, order, colors, layouts and notes, then Save. Named palettes guide generation, not a shared-editor theme picker. Current embedded PPTX export replaces the retired mandatory Node/Chromium toolchain; Python builds/checks the source and optional media tools use Node. Text/notes and pictures remain separate, decoration/effects are rendered and recipient fonts/wrapping require inspection. Check PDF and requested previews separately.

Ochre Editorial Deck

Previews from the publisher

Build a craft-journal presentation around objects, making and the people behind a proposed edition. Ochre Editorial Deck combines compressed black openings, fine serif narrative headings and tactile photographs on cream, mustard and vermilion fields. Adapt the story and exact length to your material; fictional makers and illustrative objects should not be presented as verified profiles or commissioned work.

What you get

Twelve optional compositions: giant-title portrait collage, studio introduction, object-evidence spread, black four-column service strip, three craft-project images, making close-up, material board/process, full-vermilion statement, three editorial insights, paired makers, publishing plan and mustard illustrated close above a black footer. Adapt the layouts for the actual story and count.
A warm analog editorial system with large compressed display type, Bodoni/Iowan/Georgia-style serif narrative headings and compact modern sans labels. Cream paper, raw mustard brush slabs, sparse vermilion gestures and black drybrush marks surround crisp rectangular photos. Keep readable compact bodies and varied grids/strips rather than repeated rounded business cards.
Three coordinated generation-time palettes—Studio Paper, Gallery White and Late Edition—preserve the paper/ink/mustard/vermilion relationship. Local font stacks avoid required external downloads. Headings remain real text; accent changes do not turn the shared editor into a theme-switching interface.
Sixteen catalog artworks cover fictional studio/maker portraits, pottery, cups, printmaking, furniture, material swatches, sketching, booklets and ink gestures. Many have topic-specific restrictions. A photograph of throwing clay or a maker is illustration, not proof of authorship, an actual commissioned project or a documented interview.
A generated self-contained 1280×720 HTML presentation with viewing, navigation, overview/thumbnails, notes, editing, presentation mode and print styling. The installation supplies recipes, references, catalog and build/media tools; its generic schema fixture is not a finished craft-journal case. Requested PPTX retains native text/notes and separate pictures while decorative/effect layers are rendered; PDF prints one 16:9 slide per page. Requested full-page WebP previews are created and checked separately.

Before you choose

Lead with the object’s actual story: what is documented about its material and making, what the editor interprets and what the planned edition will add. Portraits, texture and authored statements can establish rhythm, but must not imply a real interview, commission or maker relationship that the brief does not support.

Good fit

An independent journal, craft studio or editor has approved material about objects, process, people and a planned edition.
A team wants consistent but varied pages for explanation, comparison, projects, editorial insights and publication planning.
A presenter can supply a clear audience/message, accurate source facts, language and desired length and review the result at full size.

Not for

Reproducing source artwork, a brand identity, recognizable maker faces, logos or protected characters.
Automated research, invented interviews/attributions or verification of unsupported craft, business and project claims.
An all-native-shape PowerPoint deliverable: backgrounds and complex decoration export as pictures even when words and notes remain editable.

How to use

You say

/ochre-editorial-deck Create a twelve-page independent craft-journal presentation with warm paper, oversized headlines and craft photography.

Provide topic, audience, key messages/source material, language and exact slide count. Agree a count from content and duration if unspecified, including opening/closing unless agreed otherwise. Distinguish documented objects/processes, proposed editorial choices and fictional examples.
Choose Studio Paper, Gallery White or Late Edition and plan a sequence from object and making context through projects, materials, people and publishing. Select/extend the twelve layouts without forcing all compositions into the story. Write original statements and verify any attribution instead of making up a quote or maker profile.
Prioritize supplied pictures, then choose suitable catalog reuse, generation for gaps or all-new imagery; reuse is the fallback without a choice/tool. Record page, subject, ratio, placement, palette, prompt and saved result. Use each pictorial source once, with crops/rotations/recolors counting as the same asset. Functional SVG icons may repeat, and no fixed image quota applies.
Check topic restrictions for ceramics, pottery, furniture, printmaking, sketching and woodworking. Keep illustrative people/objects separate from your real projects and authorship claims. Generate at kit slot ratios with tactile editorial briefs through built-in tools or the FAL helper/FAL_KEY. FAL submissions cost separately and are made once then polled/fetched, without automatic failed-task replacement. Disclose missing or unsuitable frames.
Compose from recipes with new text, alt descriptions, pictures, icons, labels and data and remove unused objects. Python 3 handles compose/build/static checks; optional media helpers use Node. Resolve unfilled-image and leftover-example reports, verify the count, inline resources/fonts and keep useful resolution under the 20 MB ceiling. Do not rasterize meaningful copy just to retain a font.
Inspect every 1280×720 page over local HTTP for compressed-title fit, serif/sans hierarchy, brush/color-area balance, photo crops/uniqueness, density, bounds, contrast and notes/page consistency. Check factual names, object descriptions and publishing assumptions. Exercise text/block/order/layout/color edits, notes, undo/redo, Save/reopen and presentation mode; fix and inspect failures.
Deliver page-view HTML with Edit/E and Save (Cmd/Ctrl+S) instructions. Browser recovery is local; Save writes portable edits. Set interface/content languages independently with framework CJK/RTL support. Create/check/inspect requested WebP previews/PPTX/PDF separately and qualify recipient font wrapping/rendered decoration. Named palettes are generation choices; no per-style theme chooser or mandatory old Node/Chromium export chain exists in the shared editor.
