Operator-validated direction
v10 dual-mark · vermilion Italianno script + typeset working wordmark. The Eckhaus Latta secondary signature + Bottega/Prada classical typography move.
Stitch 3.1 Pro generations — real images, not HTML mockups
After v28 the pivot doubled down: real Stitch AI generations on GEMINI_3_1_PRO and GEMINI_3_FLASH, using the brand's design tokens directly. Each one starts from a tight prompt anchored to a direction from the inventory, then Stitch synthesizes both the layout AND the imagery. The Apartment Edition came back with a real editorial still-life (gray drape over wooden chair, cat in frame matching the caption). The Mill Letter came back as a typeset archival document with a bonus black-and-white loom photograph.
Earlier HTML compositions (pre-Stitch pivot — kept for reference only)
v27 + v28 were built as HTML/CSS compositions before the operator named the problem: "i wanted them all as actual images etc." They are kept here as register reference, not as the active direction.
Color-theory disciplined directions (post-research)
Built after agent research returned 8 grounded combinations. Color appears where speech would appear, never where decoration would. Saturated but never neon, never pastel-plastic.
Earlier explorations (mood-board context · pre-discipline)
v1-v17 explored typography, color, and register before the color-theory research locked the discipline. Useful as register reference. v18-v22 are off-direction (Revlon/neon/M3-violet — superseded).
