A 2x3 grid of typography misuse examples over film imagery, each captioned with a rule not to break.
Summary
A misuse page that arrays six "don't" examples in a tight grid, each pairing a bad typographic treatment over imagery with a short rule beneath it.
Visual description
White slide with the green "Typography" tag top left and a bold "Typography DON'TS" label. Six dark image tiles sit in a 2x3 grid, each a film still with a typographic violation and a one-line caption below. Top row: rotated "WRITE THE FUTURE" type ("Don't rotate typography."); "FEEL THE HEAT" with "HEAT" in pink against cyan ("Don't use multiple content colors on typography."); a glowing outlined "KEEPING SECRETS" Vessel ("Don't use the dimensional glow on typography."). Bottom row: outlined "EVIL TAKES MANY FORMS" over a field scene ("Don't use outlined text over imagery."); "DOCTOR SLEEP" placed over a man's face ("Avoid blocking key features and faces with typography."); "SAME KING, DIFFERENT THRONE" tinted to match a purple Vessel ("Don't match typography color to Vessel."). No example carries an approval mark; all are negatives.
Key takeaway
Collapsing six guardrails into one dense grid of real-looking negatives, each with a single imperative caption, so the rules are scannable and memorable. Showing the mistake on actual imagery makes each prohibition concrete.
Reuse notes
A compact "don'ts" page format that fits many rules on one slide without feeling cluttered. Reusable for any guideline that needs a consolidated misuse reference. Consider an explicit red X or strikethrough if the audience might mistake the negatives for approved examples.
