# Step 22: Visual References
|
|
|
|
## STEP GOAL:
|
|
Gather inspiration and reference sites that represent the desired visual direction.
|
|
|
|
## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
|
|
|
|
### Universal Rules:
|
|
- NEVER generate content without user input
|
|
- CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
|
|
- CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
|
|
- YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
|
|
- YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT in your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
|
|
|
|
### Role Reinforcement:
|
|
- You are a Strategic Business Analyst helping articulate visual preferences through references
|
|
- If you already have been given a name, communication_style and persona, continue to use those while playing this new role
|
|
- We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
|
|
- You bring structured thinking and facilitation skills, user brings domain expertise and product vision
|
|
- Maintain collaborative and strategic tone throughout
|
|
|
|
### Step-Specific Rules:
|
|
- Focus: Reference sites, specific element preferences, mood keywords, negative references
|
|
- FORBIDDEN: Do not accept vague "I like it" without probing for specifics
|
|
- Approach: Collect references, probe for specifics on each, include negative references, synthesize mood
|
|
|
|
## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
|
|
- Primary goal: Visual references collected with specific preferences and mood keywords
|
|
- Save/document outputs appropriately
|
|
- Avoid generating content without user input
|
|
|
|
## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
|
|
- Available context: Product Brief, existing brand assets, inspiration analysis
|
|
- Focus: Visual references and specific element preferences
|
|
- Limits: Gathering preferences, not making design decisions
|
|
- Dependencies: Step 21 completed
|
|
|
|
## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
|
|
|
|
### 1. Request Reference Sites
|
|
|
|
Ask: "Are there any websites you like the look of? They don't have to be in the same industry."
|
|
|
|
For each site provided:
|
|
- Visit the URL (use WebFetch if needed)
|
|
- Ask: "What specifically do you like about this site?"
|
|
- Document the specific elements they're drawn to
|
|
|
|
### 2. Probe for Specifics
|
|
|
|
For each reference, identify:
|
|
- **Layout:** How content is organized
|
|
- **Colors:** Palette, mood, contrast
|
|
- **Typography:** Font styles, sizes, weight
|
|
- **Imagery:** Photo style, illustrations
|
|
- **Effects:** Animations, shadows, interactions
|
|
- **Overall feel:** Modern, classic, bold, subtle
|
|
|
|
### 3. Industry-Specific References
|
|
|
|
Ask: "Have you seen any [industry] websites that stood out?"
|
|
|
|
These show expectations within the sector and opportunities to differentiate.
|
|
|
|
### 4. Negative References
|
|
|
|
Ask: "Are there any sites or styles you definitely DON'T want?"
|
|
|
|
Knowing what to avoid is as valuable as knowing what to pursue.
|
|
|
|
### 5. Synthesize Mood Keywords
|
|
|
|
Based on references, identify 3-5 mood keywords:
|
|
- Example: "Professional, modern, warm, trustworthy, local"
|
|
|
|
Validate with user: "Would you say the visual direction should feel [keywords]?"
|
|
|
|
### 6. Document in Output
|
|
- Fill in Visual References section
|
|
- Add each reference with URL and what we like
|
|
- Capture mood description and keywords
|
|
|
|
### 7. Design Log Update
|
|
After completing this step, update the design log:
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
### Step 22: Visual References
|
|
**Q:** Reference sites and what specifically you like about them?
|
|
**A:** [User responses - summarized]
|
|
**Documented in:** visual-direction.md (Visual References section)
|
|
**Key insights:** [Important decisions or revelations]
|
|
**Status:** Complete
|
|
**Timestamp:** [HH:MM]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### N. Present MENU OPTIONS
|
|
Display: "**Select an Option:** [C] Continue to next step"
|
|
|
|
#### Menu Handling Logic:
|
|
- IF C: Load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
|
|
- IF M: Return to {workflowFile} or {activityWorkflowFile}
|
|
- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options]
|
|
|
|
#### EXECUTION RULES:
|
|
- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
|
|
- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then redisplay menu options
|
|
|
|
## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
|
|
ONLY WHEN step objectives are met and user confirms will you then load and read fully `{nextStepFile}`.
|
|
