## 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 sparse typographic spreads with image-dominant spreads, retaining consistent outer-edge page numbers and small captions. Contrast large italic serif headings with heavy sans-serif labels, and vary photographs between faint tonal washes, stark threshold-like cutouts, and full-bleed crops. Use a gutter-spanning subject and one isolated color overlay for a visual climax. For a new subject, replace the diary photographs, seasonal characters, and personal text with relevant imagery and section markers while preserving the pacing and tonal contrasts.

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 restrained, personal year-in-review zine combining diary-like typography, photographs, silhouettes, and graphic illustrations.

- Color: Mostly white, pale grey, charcoal, and black, with occasional red-orange and pink accents.
- Type: Mixes large serif and italic English headings with clean sans-serif text and multilingual lettering; small page labels and captions appear throughout.
- Framing: Minimal editorial layouts with generous blank space, asymmetric text and image placement, and some spreads dominated by large photographs or illustrations.
- Structure: Opens with a 2025 title and an early-year section, then presents chapter or month-like pages, self-portrait material, and varied personal image-led entries.
