Key Principles
1. Design Thinking Protocol
Ask questions first to understand context, then commit boldly to an aesthetic direction.
2. Anti-Generic Aesthetics
Avoid: Inter, Roboto, Space Grotesk, SaaS blue (#3B82F6), glass morphism, Apple mimicry
Embrace: Characterful typography, unexpected color combinations, intentional visual hierarchy
3. Bold Visual Expression
Shadows and gradients are creative tools when used intentionally. The constraint is against effects that serve no purpose or mimic platforms.
4. Accessibility Baseline
WCAG 2.1 AA compliance enables creativity - it's a foundation, not a limitation.
Tone Options
Pick an extreme to commit to:
- Brutally minimal - stripped to essence, bold typography
- Maximalist chaos - layered, dense, controlled disorder
- Retro-futuristic - vintage meets sci-fi
- Organic/natural - earth tones, flowing shapes
- Editorial/magazine - grid-based, typographic
- Brutalist/raw - exposed structure, monospace
