# Mode: showcase

Visual-led impact. Let imagery, scale, and rhythm carry the message; minimize copy, maximize presence. For product launches, brand reveals, event openers, promotional decks.

## 1. Narrative skeleton

**Image / number leads, words support**: establish a dominant visual hierarchy through a hero image, large number, or short phrase; supporting elements may share the page without competing for focus.

**Emotional rhythm**: build and release — a run of bold pages punctuated by a quiet one. Pace for feeling, not density.

**Primary idea stated big**: center each page on a clear takeaway expressed at scale; retain supporting context when the audience needs it to understand or trust that takeaway.

**Reveal structure**: hold back, then reveal (the product, the result, the tagline) for maximum effect.

Titles are short and evocative — a phrase, not a sentence.

## 2. Page-structure tendencies

- Full-bleed imagery with overlay text; a focal hero number or phrase.
- Generous negative space around the primary visual relationship.
- Bold use of the deck's theme color for atmosphere (cover / chapter pages).

> Hero / full-bleed / breathing-page geometry lives in [`executor-base.md`](../executor-base.md) and the compact [`image-layout-patterns.md`](../image-layout-patterns.md) vocabulary loaded by the image branch; this mode decides *what each page makes primary*.

## 3. Speaker-notes register

Energetic, evocative — sets mood and builds anticipation. Short, punchy sentences. Lets the visual do the work and narrates the feeling around it. (Common framework: [`executor-notes.md`](../executor-notes.md) §1.)

## 4. Page skeleton example

```
Page (reveal): full-bleed product image + one line — "Meet the new standard."
Page (proof):  single huge number "10×" + one phrase, vast whitespace
Notes:         "Imagine cutting that to seconds. That's what this does."
```
