Raw Blame History

Closer — Branding & Artwork Review (Pass H)

Living deliverable for the Branding pass. It captures, screen by screen, where Closer could carry more of its brand, and gives ready-to-paste ChatGPT image-generation prompts for the artwork worth adding. The user generates the images; this file only describes them. Every prompt reuses the House Style block below so all new art matches the existing artwork (docs/brand/visual-identity.md + docs/brand/asset-system.md + the shipped illustration_* / pack_art_* / particle_* assets).

Branding defects (off-brand color, clipped/low-contrast art) → ClaudeReport.md. Pure "could be warmer / feature" ideas → Future.md ## QA. New art to create → here.

House Style (paste this at the top of EVERY image prompt)

Flat 2D pastel vector illustration in the "Closer" couples-app style: soft rounded shapes, no harsh outlines, gentle smooth gradients, calm and intimate. Palette only: aubergine #24122F, deep purple #56306F, lavender #B98AF4, soft pink #F7C8E4, soft lavender #D9B8FF, blush white #FFF8FC. Mood: warm, quiet, equal, intentional — a private ritual for two. Recurring motifs available: a single heart made of two equal pink+lavender halves, paired/sealed cards, floating hearts and petals, a small wooden table with mugs + a lit candle + a lavender sprig, moon/window for quiet hours, a calendar/date-card, a sealed capsule/box. If people appear: two balanced, inclusive figures, simple friendly faces, no dominant partner. Soft abstract floral/heart shapes in the background. Do NOT include: any readable text, answer/prompt/message content, invite codes, emails, app UI/buttons, generic dating-app clichés, stock-photo realism, brand logos, alarm/urgency/surveillance/fire imagery.

Aspect/format conventions

Hero/onboarding/paywall: portrait 4:5 (matches illustration_couple_*).
Empty states: roughly square 1:1, generous padding, sits centered above text.
Celebration: 1:1, transparent or blush-white background.
Glyphs: single-color simple vector, square, legible at 20–32 dp.
Pack/category art: landscape ~16:9 banner, object-led (no people), like pack_art_*.
Always readable on both blush-white (light) and aubergine (dark) surfaces — keep a soft self-contained vignette rather than a hard rectangular background; export PNG with transparency where noted.

Existing assets (reuse before generating): illustration_couple_onboarding, _invite, _history, _paywall, _subscription, illustration_tonight_partner_prompt, illustration_partner_activation, illustration_reveal_celebration, illustration_streak_milestone, illustration_together_empty, pack_art_{deep_reflection,family_commitment,home_life,trust_repair,money_values}, particle_heart, particle_petal. NOTE: most live only in iOS / drawable-nodpi; several screens below need the Android copy wired up, not new art.

Art to generate — ChatGPT prompts (prefix the House Style block to each)

Priority order = the moments a user feels most. Each is self-contained after you paste the House Style block first.

A1 · Pairing success celebration — 1:1, transparent bg.

Scene: two equal heart-halves (soft pink + soft lavender) sliding together into one whole heart at the center, with a gentle burst of small floating hearts and petals around it. Convey "you're connected now." Calm, joyful, no text.

A2 · Answer history empty state — 1:1.

Scene: a small soft journal/photo-album, slightly open, with two paired cards tucked inside and a few faint floating hearts; a lavender sprig beside it. Conveys "your shared moments will collect here." Quiet and inviting.

A3 · Connection Challenges header ("small steps together") — 16:9 banner, object-led.

Scene: a gentle winding path of soft stepping-stones, each stone a small rounded card, leading toward a glowing heart; a tiny lit candle and lavender fronds at the edges. Conveys a shared daily habit, "one small step at a time."

A4 · Memory Lane — sealed capsule — 1:1 (also usable as the sealed-card glyph).

Scene: a softly glowing sealed keepsake box/time-capsule with a small heart latch, a calendar/moon hint above it, a couple of petals settling. Conveys "sealed until your chosen date." Warm, secret, safe.

A5 · Date match — "it's a match" + empty — 1:1.

Scene: two date-idea cards (one pink, one lavender) leaning together to meet in the middle with a small heart where they touch; faint calendar/clock and a sun/hill motif behind. Conveys "you both chose this." For the empty variant, show the two cards slightly apart with a dotted soft line between them.

A6 · Bucket List empty state — 1:1.

Scene: a soft open notebook with a checklist of blank rounded lines, a small star and heart doodle, a pin/map dot and a tiny suitcase, lavender sprig accent. Conveys "save ideas to do together." Hopeful, light.

A7 · Question pack art (per missing pack) — 16:9 banner, object-led, match pack_art_*.

Scene: a fanned deck of paired cards as the hero object, themed to the pack topic with one simple symbol (e.g. intimacy = soft flame + petals; communication = two speech shapes; future = a small horizon/sunrise), framed by lavender fronds and a soft glow. No people, no readable text. (Generate one per pack that lacks pack_art_*.)

A8 · Messages empty state — 1:1.

Scene: two soft rounded chat bubbles (one pink, one lavender) gently overlapping with a small heart between them and a few floating petals; no text inside the bubbles. Conveys "your private conversation starts here."

A9 · Quiet hours — 1:1.

Scene: a calm night window with a soft crescent moon and stars, and two muted phones resting face-down on a bedside surface with a small lavender sprig. Conveys "gentle, no pressure, paused for the night." Soothing, no alarm imagery.

A10 · Past Games empty state — 1:1.

Scene: two paired game cards stacked with a soft replay/loop arc of petals around them and a faint heart. Conveys "the games you've played together will live here." Playful but calm.

A11 · Privacy / Recovery — privacy-lock — 1:1 or 4:5.

Scene: two sealed cards or closed journals nestled behind a soft, friendly padlock with a small heart on it; a key shape made of a lavender sprig; quiet protective glow. Conveys "only the two of you hold the key." Reassuring, warm — not a cold security/vault look.

A12 · Account deletion — calm goodbye — 1:1.

Scene: a soft open box gently releasing a few hearts/petals upward, with a faint door/horizon and a lavender sprig; muted, respectful, peaceful. Conveys "your data leaves with you." No warning triangles, red, broken hearts, or alarm imagery.

G-set · Notification + relationship glyphs — single-color vector, square, legible at 24 dp. (One prompt each:)

Simple single-color flat glyph in the Closer style, no text, no background: heart-of-two-halves, paired sealed cards, daily card, sealed answer (card with small lock), memory capsule, date-card with heart, quiet-hours moon, couple-premium (heart + small crown/spark, tasteful), export-data, delete-account. Export in lavender for in-app and as high-contrast monochrome for the platform notification glyph.

Notes for the asset hand-off

Match filenames to the existing scheme: illustration_<name>.png (nodpi), pack_art_<pack>.png, glyph_<name>.xml, particle_<name>.png. Provide @1x in drawable-nodpi/ (illustrations) or density buckets where the existing asset has them.
Several items above are "wire existing iOS art into Android," not new generation — do that first (cheaper): history, invite, daily-question, together-empty, partner-activation already exist on iOS.
After adding art, re-run Pass C (visual, light + dark) on those screens to confirm contrast + no clipping, and re-export store graphics per docs/brand/visual-identity.md if the palette/mark changed.
