Build a presentation around a physical metaphor, using illustrated objects as functional frames for the title, portrait, contents, and closing rather than merely as decoration. Repeat a limited palette, rough hatching, and scalloped cream panels while varying the scale and arrangement of project images to create rhythm. Combine large showcase mockups with smaller process evidence and restrained text boxes. For a new subject, replace the kitchen objects and sample projects with a different coherent object vocabulary, retaining the framing system and improving spacing on dense boards.
