# CREATED BY THE SWARM — step a, round 3

Five original art lines responding to the five assigned questions. Ten different products; each PNG is flat artwork alone and each paired SVG is native vector artwork made from true paths, polygons, circles, ellipses and rectangles. No image tracing, embedded raster images, fonts, external assets, linked dependencies, mockups, models, product silhouettes, photographic shadows or presentation frames. All art is text-free: **every word in every artwork: none**. Line names below are metadata only.

## 1 — Sunup Shift

**Question:** What does the swarm's breakfast look like on a Monday?

**Answer:** Monday starts with a shared sun-yolk breakfast, toast and a coffee big enough for a whole shift. Small square-and-diamond workers stir, lift and carry their way into the morning.

**Style:** Warm risograph illustration with misregistered-looking printed speckles, irregular cut-paper edges and an overhead breakfast composition. **Palette:** tomato #EF563B, yolk #F6B82D, ink blue #244D65, warm paper #FFF0CF. **Mood:** sociable, sleepy, sunny.

## 2 — Diamond Reserve

**Question:** If the swarm had a national park, what would its trail signs show?

**Answer:** The signs point to worker meeting places, diamond summits and waterfalls, using pictures instead of words. The winding trail passes carved mountains and pines toward a copper sun.

**Style:** Woodcut travel print with carved hatching, contour lines, bold landscape silhouettes and pictographic arrow signs. **Palette:** forest ink #163F3C, parchment #F2DEAE, copper #C56B3E, sage #859778. **Mood:** quiet, exploratory, weathered.

## 3 — Portable Orbit

**Question:** What does the swarm carry when it moves house?

**Answer:** Workers pack the living parts of home: a seedling, a familiar window, the hearth and a few remembered stars. They carry these parcels around a shared roof, treating the move like a carefully coordinated orbital transfer.

**Style:** Exploded technical screenprint collage, isometric open boxes, orbital construction lines and bright schematic symbols. **Palette:** blueprint navy #182B50, cyan #54D9E8, drafting ivory #E9F5EE, lilac #AF9AE2, signal orange #F18152. **Mood:** resourceful, kinetic, tender.

## 4 — Gutter Comets

**Question:** What would the swarm's bowling team patch look like?

**Answer:** A square-bodied worker juggles the lanes under a crown of bowling pins, with a comet-red ball ready for the next strike. The team wears a navy, gold, white and red badge that feels like a treasured old league patch.

**Style:** Vintage athletic chenille-patch graphic, bold flat silhouettes, heraldic outline and compact sporting iconography. **Palette:** navy #333366, white #FFFFFF, gold #FFCC00, red #CC3333; all four are permitted embroidery thread colours. **Mood:** rowdy, confident, nostalgic.

| Files | Product / placement | Blank colour | Print method | Hex colours | Words in art | PNG size | SVG source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 41.png, 41.svg | Dad cap / centre front | Navy | Flat embroidery; four thread colours, broad shapes, no gradients or text | #333366 #FFFFFF #FFCC00 #CC3333 | None | 1650 × 600 px, RGBA PNG | Native, 1650 × 600 px |
| 42.png, 42.svg | Die-cut sticker / single shield-shaped graphic | Not applicable | Full-colour sticker printing; transparent outside shield | #333366 #FFFFFF #FFCC00 #CC3333 | None | 1800 × 1800 px, RGBA PNG | Native, 1800 × 1800 px |

The cap uses a wide pennant composition adapted to its shallow print area. The sticker uses a tall shield with a sweeping comet, rather than shrinking the cap graphic into a square. The cap SVG contains only flat thread colours; antialiased PNG edge pixels are raster coverage, not additional thread colours.

## 5 — First Light

**Question:** What does a worker see the moment its job is accepted?

**Answer:** Acceptance opens a luminous diamond-shaped window, with the worker at its centre and bright rays spreading through the swarm. Nearby workers raise their arms as the ordinary workspace turns into a little cathedral of shared achievement.

**Style:** Stained-glass mosaic with dark lead lines, faceted jewel-colour panes and a radiant pointed portal. **Palette:** midnight lead #18213F, teal #2DAEAA, sea glass #9BE7D3, gold #F6C35B, coral #EF796A, violet #7463AD. **Mood:** celebratory, luminous, awestruck.

## Production and review

The paired files share the same composition and aspect ratio. PNGs carry 300 ppi metadata; pixel dimensions above are authoritative. The poster uses the brief's permitted 2048+ px proportional export; its SVG scales losslessly to the full requested 9000 × 12000 px. All other files are at the exact requested pixel dimensions. The SVGs are self-contained and render without network access.

Transparent files retain clear space outside the artwork. Full-bleed files have an opaque coloured ground reaching every edge. No seamless-tile products were selected. No frogs, real people, other brands, prices, politics or prohibited wording appear. Workers retain outlined square bodies and central diamonds throughout.

**Review performed:** rendered all ten SVGs, opened a contact sheet for visual review, revised cap line weights, and checked all final PNG dimensions, formats, transparency, SVG colour sets and absence of external images or text. Five distinct media treatments and palettes were reviewed together. **Unmet visual requirements:** none identified during this local review. Production colour and final embroidery stitch interpretation have not been physically sampled.
