+# multi-focal
+
+Multiple focal points with jumps guided by color or connecting lines.
+
+## Structure
+
+- Several equally prominent focal points distributed across the canvas
+- Visual connectors (lines, arrows, or color coding) guide the reading order
+- No single dominant element; multiple centers of attention
+- Numbered or color-coded to indicate sequence
+
+## Best For
+
+- Multi-topic overviews with equal weight
+- Network or relationship diagrams
+- "Multiple things happening simultaneously" narratives
+- Complex system overviews
+
+## Visual Elements
+
+- Multiple high-contrast focal elements
+- Connecting lines or color coding between foci
+- Numbered badges or color keys
+- Supporting elements subordinate to each focal point
+
+## Text Placement
+
+- Label near each focal point
+- Connecting line labels if needed
+- Title in a neutral zone above or below
+
+## Recommended Pairings
+
+- `subway-map`: Network-style multi-focal layouts
+- `corporate-memphis`: Multi-topic business overviews
+- `technical-schematic`: System architecture diagrams
