Imagery

Style: OTTO colour field

One object on one flat colour: the ground for social posts, OG images, title slides and PDF covers. The picture carries only the ground and the object. Headline and logo are set in the layout, in OTTO Sans and from the original logo file.

The brief

style: minimal still life, one real-looking object photographed on a single flat colour
ground: flat solid colour field in the exact hex given by the prompt, seamless, no vignette, no gradient
subject: one object that carries the message, placed in the right third, leaving the left 55 percent of the frame empty for headline and logo
light: soft daylight from the top left, one natural soft shadow on the colour field
never: text, letters, numbers, logos, watermarks, several objects, patterns, confetti, glitter, neon

Grounds by mood

The grounds come from the corporate colour scales; every value is listed under design tokens.

Functional colours (error red, success green, warning orange, hint purple) never become a colour field: they are reserved for their meaning.
