Blankout / v05 / Images
Paper. Ink. Point of view.
Matte material, close crops, flat planes and the evidence of assembly. The current service studies set the reference family; the vector system carries it into the interface.
01 / Reference family
Service studies, one language.
Offset, Graphic Score and Bound Edge define the accepted service-image language. Project covers and Notes use their own subjects and have separate production records.
02 / Vector vocabulary
The construction, made explicit.
01 / identity
Cut
An incision makes a new relationship.
02 / direction
Shift
One interruption changes the rhythm.
03 / motion
Bind
Separate pieces become one composition.
Studio studies / Cut. Shift. Leave an impression.
Composition sequence 1.
03 / Applications
Beyond a single frame.
Native components test the identity on a poster, correspondence and a wider banner. These are design applications, not photographs of produced goods.

04 / Related ventures
Three projects, three subjects.
RSH, Kickbrand and InnerStunner are related ventures of the same team. Each cover interprets an inspected project idea. Actual site captures remain inside the cases; these covers are not photographs of delivered physical applications.
05 / Note covers
Notes show their working.
Expressive covers introduce a subject through assembled paper or flat geometry. Proof-led covers keep their precise diagrams. The evidence inside each Note stays unchanged across expressions.
A responsive logo needs decisions at real sizes
Choose logo arrangements and detail for real placements, with a true-size Blankout proof and an editable export checklist.
Brief an identity by deciding how you will judge it
Turn a commission into applications, evidence and selection criteria. Includes an editable brief, a review sheet and a completed fictional example.
One brand, two visual expressions: decide what stays the same
What stays shared when one identity has two expressions, what can change, and how to decide whether the range earns its upkeep.
Keep the bold palette. Design the colour relationships.
Keep a vivid palette by giving text, controls and fields clear roles. Inspect measured pairs and a working control example in both expressions.
Turn positioning into an art-direction system
Translate a strategic distinction into composition, material and exclusions, with a related-venture example and a usable commissioning board.
Design a motion identity that works when motion is off
Build a motion language from the identity itself, with a short replayable example, a motion score and a complete quiet state.
What should you receive when a brand identity is handed over?
Inspect sources, exports and update ownership. Follow one colour change through real sample files, including a deliberately stale icon and its repair.
Art-directing AI imagery: keep the rules, vary the composition
Inside our three-cover study: source-grounded subjects, fixed material rules, native geometry and a real selection record.
Photography, illustration or generation: choose by the image's job
Choose the production method by what an image must show, explain or express, with worked examples and a practical commissioning table.
06 / Asset records
Choose by purpose. Preserve the source.
These assignments come from the site's published CMS records. An opening may use paired images, or preserve its native Modular composition while using an authored Tactile image.
Keep the subject and action intact at card and mobile sizes. Use the authored crop and focal point; do not stretch the asset. Alternative text describes the image's role in its placement. Decorative repetition can use empty alternative text; meaningful project or editorial evidence needs its context.
These compositions are part of Blankout's identity. Original masters and usage permissions stay with the asset owner. Native studies are implemented artwork, not photographs of manufactured objects or proof of client outcomes.
