Visual style: paper-cut
Layered paper-craft — scissor-cut shapes stacked in tactile layers, soft shadow where layers overlap. Warm, hand-made, child-friendly without being childish. For education, children's content, cultural / folk topics, festival, sustainability.
1. Shape & decoration
- Shape language: forms defined by crisp, slightly-irregular cut edges (no outlines); simplified, stylized shapes that read as cut paper rather than illustration. Those cut edges are irregular
<polygon>/<path>outlines, not a clean<rect>/<circle>, which reads as a digital box rather than torn paper. - Decoration: layering itself is the device — each element is a "sheet" stacked over the one beneath; small cut-out accents on the top layer.
- Whitespace: cozy, composed — the backing sheet shows through as breathing room.
2. Typography character
- Clean friendly sans; warm, not severe. Titles can sit on a cut-paper banner shape.
Families are chosen at confirmation
g; this style asks for a warm, rounded, approachable sans character.
3. Using the deck's colors
- Each color reads as one sheet of paper — the primary is the dominant foreground sheet, the secondary the backing field, the accent a small top-layer cut-out.
- Layering and overlap drive emphasis more than proportion: even a small primary sheet in front of a large secondary reads as primary-led.
HEX values come from confirmation
e; this style only governs the each-color-is-a-sheet, layering discipline — it names no colors.
4. Texture / elevation
- Real layered depth — a soft 8-12% drop shadow under each cut layer is core here (the one style where layered shadow is the point, not a violation). Matte paper grain on each sheet. (Shadow rules:
shared-standards.md §6.)
5. Paired image-rendering
paper-cut — layered cut-paper imagery sharing the tactile, hand-made depth.
