STYLE_INSTRUCTIONS Block

The <STYLE_INSTRUCTIONS> block contains all style-specific guidance for image generation:

Section	Content
Design Aesthetic	Overall visual direction from style file
Background	Base color and texture details
Typography	Font descriptions for Gemini (no font names, describe appearance)
Color Palette	Named colors with hex codes and usage guidance
Visual Elements	Specific graphic elements with rendering instructions
Style Rules	Do/Don't guidelines from style file

Important: Typography descriptions must describe the visual appearance (e.g., "rounded sans-serif", "bold geometric") since image generators cannot use font names.

Section Dividers

Header metadata and STYLE_INSTRUCTIONS
STYLE_INSTRUCTIONS and first slide

Cover is always Slide 1
Content slides use sequential numbers
Back Cover is always final slide (N)
Filename prefix matches slide position: 01-, 02-, etc.
