## Design Techniques

- **Diagonal rectangles**: 4 large rect elements rotated 30-45 degrees spanning across the canvas, creating diagonal cut effects
- **Cut lines**: 2 ultra-thin rects (height 0.1-0.15cm) crossing the full width, simulating industrial cutting marks
- **Circle decorations**: 2 ellipses as corner accents, balancing geometric composition
- **Morph choreography**: Diagonal strips rotate 20-25 degrees + shift 8-12cm between pages, producing dynamic "cut-flip" effects; Slide 3 diagonal strips transform into nearly vertical column dividers, creating a "scattered → orderly" transformation
- **Transparency layering**: Primary colors 0.85-0.9, secondary colors 0.15-0.3, gray 0.5-0.7, creating depth hierarchy
