Suitable for
Suitable for
food / restaurant / agriculture / hospitality / beverage / retail
Business goals
taste / trace / choose / share
A strong choice when

Avoid when
Avoid when the brief needs complete visual neutrality or when this direction would compete with essential information and actions.
05 / Design system
Design system
Rules that should remain coherent as content, devices, and business needs change.
- 01Composition
- Menu or product clarity anchors documentary sequences, source maps, and process detail.
- 02Hierarchy
- Make the signature move the first organizing decision, then reveal supporting information through stable scale, alignment, and sequence.
- 03Typography
- A characterful food or place voice paired with highly legible prices, ingredients, and dietary information.
- 04Color
- Ingredient, fire, vessel, and place colors balanced by strong menu contrast.
- 05Imagery
- Real food at edible scale, hands, source, kitchen, and place; avoid overstyled dark tables.
- 06Material
- Menu paper, tile, enamel, packaging, wood, metal, and kitchen wear drawn from the real venue or product.
- 07Motion
- Preparation, transformation, and route-to-table sequences; ordering remains immediate.
Adaptation
Keep the signature move invariant. Adapt imagery, material, language, and interaction to the actual food, restaurant, agriculture context rather than copying a finished reference.
Accessibility
Preserve a visible reading order and sufficient working space. Meet WCAG AA contrast, visible focus, 44px targets, and never encode meaning through color or style alone.
06 / Background
Background
These lineages are source-linked research doors, not permission to copy a particular work or brand.

Guardrail
Credit cuisines, producers, and communities accurately; do not fuse cultures for novelty without a real story.
07 / Agent recipe
culinary-provenance
Use the stable ID and recipe to give design agents the same context. Always adapt the output to the real business.
Prompt recipe
Use case: stylized-concept
Asset type: Aesthetic Directions Encyclopedia showcase, 3:2 landscape master
Primary request: Create one polished freeform showcase for Culinary Provenance, applied to RASA TRACE 24, a clearly fictional East Java fermentation house.
Scene/backdrop: an East Java tasting table linking fermented ingredients, makers, vessels, regional map, season, and labeled product packaging.
Style/medium: A coherent contemporary design world, not a collage of references. Make flavor, origin, people, and process equally visible so food feels specific rather than styled.
Composition/framing: Menu or product clarity anchors documentary sequences, source maps, and process detail. Keep all important content inside an 8 percent safe margin.
Typography: A characterful food or place voice paired with highly legible prices, ingredients, and dietary information.
Color palette: Ingredient, fire, vessel, and place colors balanced by strong menu contrast.
Imagery: Real food at edible scale, hands, source, kitchen, and place; avoid overstyled dark tables.
Materials/textures: Menu paper, tile, enamel, packaging, wood, metal, and kitchen wear drawn from the real venue or product.
Text (verbatim): "RASA TRACE 24". No other readable words.
Constraints: Original fictional concept; visibly applied to packaging, editorial, hospitality; realistic production detail; no real company, client, result, claim, signature, or watermark; no imitation of a living artist or proprietary campaign.
Avoid: moody food stock, rustic authenticity theater, hard-to-read artistic menus, real logos, watermarks, artist imitation, generic mood board, illegible filler text.
Pilot refinement: Make one dominant integrated real-world application readable at thumbnail scale. Secondary views may support it but must remain subordinate. Do not create an equal-weight tiled mood board or generic presentation collage unless sequencing is essential to the direction. Render the exact requested text correctly and do not invent other readable copy.Working constraints
- Use one coherent direction grammar, not a collage of style references.
- Use only a fictional business and minimal exact text.
- Do not imitate a living artist, real brand, client project, or proprietary campaign.
- Preserve essential hierarchy, legibility, contrast, and reduced-motion equivalence.
- Avoid: moody food stock.
- Avoid: rustic authenticity theater.
- Avoid: hard-to-read artistic menus.
