05 / Design system

Design system

Rules that should remain coherent as content, devices, and business needs change.

01Composition
Friendly records, member artifacts, scrapbook-like sequences, and reliable product or task rails.
02Hierarchy
Make the signature move the first organizing decision, then reveal supporting information through stable scale, alignment, and sequence.
03Typography
Rounded or soft grotesque with a restrained character face for notes, stamps, or editions.
04Color
Warm mixed palette with one cool counterpoint; avoid all-pastel softness.
05Imagery
Candid flash, instant-photo framing, real objects, and member-created media with consent.
06Material
Paper slips, stamps, translucent plastic, fabric labels, and worn keepsakes used in bounded zones.
07Motion
Stamps, flips, saves, and accumulations make participation tangible without gamification pressure.

Adaptation

Keep the signature move invariant. Adapt imagery, material, language, and interaction to the actual community, beauty, lifestyle 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

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 Soft Club System, applied to LOW PULSE, a clearly fictional inclusive electronic music venue.
Scene/backdrop: an intimate venue entrance and stage identity shaped by slow light pulses, soft depth, and clearly readable event information.
Style/medium: A coherent contemporary design world, not a collage of references. Build belonging through warm social codes, collectible details, and relaxed but deliberate structure.
Composition/framing: Friendly records, member artifacts, scrapbook-like sequences, and reliable product or task rails. Keep all important content inside an 8 percent safe margin.
Typography: Rounded or soft grotesque with a restrained character face for notes, stamps, or editions.
Color palette: Warm mixed palette with one cool counterpoint; avoid all-pastel softness.
Imagery: Candid flash, instant-photo framing, real objects, and member-created media with consent.
Materials/textures: Paper slips, stamps, translucent plastic, fabric labels, and worn keepsakes used in bounded zones.
Text (verbatim): "LOW PULSE". No other readable words.
Constraints: Original fictional concept; visibly applied to brand, motion, environment; realistic production detail; no real company, client, result, claim, signature, or watermark; no imitation of a living artist or proprietary campaign.
Avoid: manufactured nostalgia, scrapbook clutter, cute membership language that excludes adults, 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: manufactured nostalgia.
  • Avoid: scrapbook clutter.
  • Avoid: cute membership language that excludes adults.
