# TED letters and red particles

> A TED intro pairs solid red lettering with particle-defined outlines, then presents dense fields of glowing red specks against dark backgrounds. The restrained palette links clean branding with abstract spatial imagery.

## 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 video

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

Use a bold wordmark as the organizing shape for a single-color particle treatment. Create complementary states with solid letters, granular contours and an abstract field of the same colored specks. Contrast pale, graphic branding scenes with dark scenes containing sharp points and soft luminous discs.

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 video frames, not by the creator.

Bold red TED lettering breaks into glowing red particles against a pale background, then gives way to sparse lights on black.

- Color: Vivid red and pink, white and light gray, then near-black with red glows.
- Type: Large, heavy, uppercase geometric sans-serif lettering.
- Framing: The TED wordmark is centered and prominent; later frames contain scattered glowing particles across dark negative space.
- Structure: A clean wordmark, speckled and fragmented letterforms, dense particle fields, a few isolated lights, and a final black frame.
