Proportional squares
Proportional squares: two to four real amounts drawn as nested squares from one corner, each square's area true to its value — the big old number dwarfing the small new one, both printed large — a size difference you feel, not just read.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Proportional squares for posts that teach or prove a point, when the message is a number or a contrast (this, not that). It is built first to teach.
It reads each post’s goal and shape first, then its own words, the platform and the facts you have, and offers this template only where it fits.
Who it’s for
Any business. Nothing in it assumes what you sell, so the Director can offer it to a software company, a café or a coaching centre alike — whenever the post fits.

What it needs
The Director offers it only when these exist. Without them it simply picks another template.
- A real number from your post or your brand facts
Rules the AI follows
Word for word from the template library. The Director follows the copy rules when it writes into the template, and the visual review checks every creative against the visual rules.
Copy rules
- Every value is a real figure from the post or the brand's facts, written as the source writes it.
- All amounts measure the same thing in the same unit, so the areas compare honestly.
- The headline names the difference in words; never a computed ratio the copy does not state.
Visual rules
- Nested squares anchored at the bottom-left corner, each square's area proportional to its printed value, the largest in a quiet tint and the smallest in brand colour.
- Each value is set large with its label, inside its square when there is room, else beside it.
