Use a limited poster palette and pair expressive serif headlines with oversized sans-serif statistics. Carry subject-specific motifs into the information graphics: here, parallel rules resemble tracks, repeated train icons encode counts, and ticket-shaped labels support a historical milestone. Alternate illustrated moments with tables and charts to create rhythm, reserving red for the latest value or key contrast. For a new subject, replace the railway imagery, pictograms and historical figures while preserving the hierarchy and consistent accent logic.

How it was made
A fifteen-page Japanese public-lecture deck on the sixtieth anniversary of the Tokaido Shinkansen — the first Japanese example in the collection. The only input was the topic: facts came through topic research from JR Central's 2026 fact sheets, news releases from 2012, 2017 and 2024, the N700S vehicle page and a 2017 Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers article, several fetched as PDF URLs and converted by source_to_md, with every figure carrying its source and reference year and the speed / frequency / punctuality / safety framing marked as compiled. Free design in a Showa commemorative-poster look set in Yu Mincho and Yu Gothic; two native charts (Tokyo–Osaka travel time, passenger-km by fiscal year), one native rolling-stock table, twenty-one preset shapes, two Morph pairs with hero entrances, four AI illustrations from one batch (arched cover, rounded 1964 window, a duotone derivative behind the safety chapter, a circular crop on the next-sixty-years page), nine native source hyperlinks, and Japanese speaker notes throughout.
