Notes card on design making and unmaking futures

Summary

A quiet full-slide "NOTES" card: a pale-green panel on a grey ground holding one centered quote about how design both makes and forecloses futures.

Visual description

A flat medium-grey full-bleed background with faint hand-drawn scribble loops in the corners. Centered on it is a large pale mint-green rounded card. Inside, a pixel/bitmap "NOTES" heading sits at top under a hand-drawn marker underline; below, a centered multi-line quote in a clean black grotesque ("Just as acts of design make the future, they can also unmake other futures...") with a few words underlined by hand. A small all-caps attribution ("DEFUTURING THE IMAGE OF THE FUTURE BY ANDREW BLAUVELT FOR WALKER ART CENTER") closes the card. The footer slug sits bottom-right; there is no running header on this full-card slide.

Key takeaway

A whole slide given over to a single "NOTES" card as a deliberate pause in a dense report. The pixel heading plus hand-drawn underlines make a plain quote feel annotated and personal, like a reader's marginalia.

Reuse notes

Use as a breather or chapter-closing reflection between heavy spreads. The mint "NOTES" card is a recurring motif elsewhere in the deck shown here at full scale. Keep the quote short and centered; the hand underlines should feel sparing, not decorative.
