## Before you start

Guidance from Reference, separate from the creator's instructions.

1. Read the reference and inspect the project, installed libraries, and available agent skills before writing code. Reuse suitable tools already present.
2. Prefer the creator-reported libraries and skills when they fit the task. Explain what useful additions help with, and install missing project dependencies or relevant skills from official sources when the environment and the user's existing permissions allow it. Respect the project's package manager and setup rules; do not ask again for routine setup already authorized.
3. Distinguish tools used by the creator from your own recommendations. A listed tool is not automatically required, and an empty tools or requirements list means the setup is unknown, not that nothing is needed.
4. Ask concise questions when missing inputs or choices materially affect the result: paid services, credentials, the user's assets, or a different production approach. Use existing answers and permissions; continue independent work while waiting.
5. If a useful library, skill, or service cannot be installed or used, explain an available alternative and its expected effect on quality, features, or effort. Get the user's choice before a material compromise; otherwise state the fallback and continue. Never silently simplify the result or claim to have used a tool you did not use.

## Recreating this deck

This is a visual reference. No original creator prompt is available. The following brief was written by Reference after inspecting the work.

Alternate expansive typographic openers with dense parallel-language reading pages and full-bleed symbolic illustrations to create editorial rhythm. Pair thin high-contrast serif headings with compact sans-serif credits, using restrained blue-gray and red accents on warm white pages. Build illustrations from crisp silhouettes over grainy color fields, contrasting monumental objects with tiny human figures. For a new subject, replace the maritime and monument imagery with relevant visual metaphors while preserving the scale contrasts and multilingual hierarchy.

1. Open the live work or source and inspect the frame images below.
2. Adapt its layout, hierarchy, palette, and interaction patterns to the user's own content and brand.
3. Compare the result against the reference. Use your own assets and credit the original creator.

## What it looks like

Written by Reference from the captured walkthrough frames, not by the creator.

A refined editorial identity for a literary magazine, pairing restrained page design and large serif headlines with bold, geometric illustrations.

- Color: Deep and royal blues dominate the backgrounds and sea scenes, balanced by warm white pages, black silhouettes, and accents of red and coral.
- Type: Large elegant serif display lettering contrasts with small, orderly sans-serif text and fine editorial details.
- Framing: The cover centers a red-striped lighthouse above dark water; other illustrations show simplified sailboats and a monumental eagle. Interior spreads use spacious margins, columns of text, and occasional full-page artwork.
- Structure: A magazine cover is followed by opening and article spreads, including typographic feature pages, a text spread with a small fish illustration, a full-page eagle image, and a closing spread with small image previews.
