# Design Brief: Vibrant Pop (with 3D Tactile)
Full-bleed high-saturation brand backdrops, oversized bold display type, and high-contrast buttons, common across creator tools and consumer apps.
## Design Tokens
```css
:root {
--background: #ffe434;
--surface: #fff8bd;
--foreground: #080905;
--muted-foreground: #3c4537;
--accent: #ffffff;
--radius: 9999px;
--font-heading: "Exposure[-30] Regular", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
--font-body: "sans-serif", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```
Color area ratio: Background #FFE434 (~65%) · Surface #FFF8BD (~9%) · Text #080905 (~5%) · Muted Text #3C4537 (~19%) · Accent #FFFFFF (~2%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.
## Layout & Conversion Structure
- Hero layout: Centered Headline + CTA
- Navigation: Floating Pill Nav
- Theme & density: Light · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Pill; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: 3D Render / Tactile Object
- Conversion CTA: Direct Input / Instant Try · Trust bar uses Stacked Avatars & Testimonials
- Headline hook: Category Positioning Anchor
- Hero components: Large Hero Product Shot, Metrics Strip
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with direct input / instant try CTA and stacked avatars & testimonials.
- Visual summary: Vibrant Pop (Light canvas, balanced density) featuring centered headline + cta layout and 3d render / tactile object visuals.
## Avoid
- Muted corporate gray palettes
- Tiny low-contrast body text
- Overly formal enterprise tables
Implement the UI following the design tokens and layout specifications above: use only these color variables, and reserve the accent color strictly for primary actions and active states. Adopt only this visual style—never copy any reference product’s brand name, logo, copy, or imagery.
