## 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.

Pair restrained contents grids on textured cream paper with clustered photographic cut-outs, then switch to black backgrounds for image-led features. Give sections distinct accent palettes while repeating narrow serif headlines and small outer-edge folios; use oversized objects, repeated silhouettes, and occasional rotated type to break the column rhythm. For a new subject, replace the street objects, athletes, garments, and city photographs with a coherent local collection, and increase small-text contrast while preserving the alternation between quiet pages and dense collages.

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.

Playful, high-contrast art magazine design mixing fashion, food, sports, and Hong Kong urban imagery with a neon-kitsch sensibility.

- Color: Black grounds punctuated by hot pink, acid green, cyan, red, and orange, with occasional muted gray and cream.
- Type: A mix of oversized serif headlines, fine editorial text, decorative script, and prominent Chinese characters.
- Framing: Magazine covers and spreads combine text blocks, photographic or illustrated cutouts, isolated fashion figures, and graphic panels. Layouts range from dense collage to sparse, centered designs.
- Structure: A magazine-style sequence of cover and introductory pages followed by themed editorial sections, including fashion, food, sports, and city imagery.
