Illustration diversity statement

Summary

A yellow statement slide carrying two centered black serif paragraphs that frame illustration as a way to celebrate diversity of authorship and discipline and to hero authentic storytellers.

Visual description

A flat golden-yellow field with the deck's small all-caps utility header (center label "ILLUSTRATION") and a centered black swoosh. The center of the slide holds two centered black serif paragraphs. The first reads: "To build a visual identity based on diversity, we will celebrate diversity of authorship and of discipline." The second: "Illustration is another way to hero authentic storytellers and showcase the future of sport*." Generous empty yellow space surrounds the text, and "©2021 NIKE INC." sits in the bottom-left.

Key takeaway

The recurring statement template: two short centered serif paragraphs floating on a flat color field, with the type as the only element. It reads as a considered thesis rather than a bullet list and ties visually to the other statement slides in the deck.

Reuse notes

Reusable as the opening rationale slide for any section, stating intent before the examples follow. Sits naturally right after the matching big-type divider. Keep the copy to two tight paragraphs so the centered serif stays elegant.
