Suitable for

Suitable for

consumer tech / beauty / food / gaming / retail / family

Business goals

care / collect / habit / delight

A strong choice when

Strong when consumer tech, beauty, food, gaming need to care, collect, habit through a memorable but repeatable visual system.

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
A disciplined compact grid protects tasks and content while expressive symbols occupy designated moments.
02Hierarchy
Make the signature move the first organizing decision, then reveal supporting information through stable scale, alignment, and sequence.
03Typography
Friendly Japanese and Latin capable typography with clear numerals and controlled display softness.
04Color
Bright multi-hue system with firm neutral structure; pastels are optional, not the identity.
05Imagery
Purpose-built characters, icons, objects, and product detail share a consistent proportion and expression system.
06Material
Sticker, capsule, enamel, plastic, print, fabric, or one-bit screen qualities appear selectively.
07Motion
Small state reactions, collections, and rewards feel immediate without interrupting routine tasks.

Adaptation

Keep the signature move invariant. Adapt imagery, material, language, and interaction to the actual consumer tech, beauty, food context rather than copying a finished reference.

Accessibility

Preserve a visible reading order and sufficient working space. Provide an equivalent reduced-motion state. Meet WCAG AA contrast, visible focus, 44px targets, and never encode meaning through color or style alone.

06 / Background

07 / Agent recipe

kawaii-precision

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 Kawaii Precision, applied to PICO PLAN, a clearly fictional Japanese personal routine application.
Scene/backdrop: a precise Japanese routine app and small desk device where one friendly original character follows consistent states, grid, and information rules.
Style/medium: A coherent contemporary design world, not a collage of references. Use compact cuteness, care, and collectibility inside a rigorous information and interaction system.
Composition/framing: A disciplined compact grid protects tasks and content while expressive symbols occupy designated moments. Keep all important content inside an 8 percent safe margin.
Typography: Friendly Japanese and Latin capable typography with clear numerals and controlled display softness.
Color palette: Bright multi-hue system with firm neutral structure; pastels are optional, not the identity.
Imagery: Purpose-built characters, icons, objects, and product detail share a consistent proportion and expression system.
Materials/textures: Sticker, capsule, enamel, plastic, print, fabric, or one-bit screen qualities appear selectively.
Text (verbatim): "PICO PLAN". No other readable words.
Constraints: Original fictional concept; visibly applied to ui, brand, product; realistic production detail; no real company, client, result, claim, signature, or watermark; no imitation of a living artist or proprietary campaign.
Avoid: infantilizing adult users, random mascot stickers, generic pastel overload, 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: infantilizing adult users.
  • Avoid: random mascot stickers.
  • Avoid: generic pastel overload.
