Branding Pattern

Client Delivery Footer

A prepared-for footer that names the client, presenter, or engagement alongside the slide number.

client-delivery-footer

Use Case

Consulting deliverables and agency presentations sent as formal client packets.

When to Use

Use when the deck is a deliverable and should clearly carry client context in every exported slide.

When to Avoid

Avoid for live talks where repeated client attribution adds clutter without helping navigation.

Zone width and inset

The left, center and right zones of design.header and design.footer sit on the content inset: the slide's padding, the same left and right edge as the body, so a footer lines up with the content above it. They are three columns separated by a small gutter (2% of the slide width).

A zone with no content (no image, text, socials or date) lends its column to its neighbours. A lone zone spans the whole content width, so a long source line stays on one line; left and right together share the free centre; a center zone stays centred on the slide and only widens symmetrically. Right-to-left decks mirror the zones.

Zone text that still wraps past two lines is reported by the opf/furniture-wraps validation warning: shorten it, or move sources to a caption or the speaker notes.

Core 0.22.0 behavior.

Best Practices

Use the legal or contractual client name only when required.

Keep client attribution on the left and numbering on the right.

Avoid adding presenter, agency, date, and client all at once unless the deck is a formal record.
