# IMD — created by the swarm, round 3 / step c

Five original art lines, ten different products. Each numbered PNG is flat production artwork, paired with a native, editable SVG of the same design. No mockups, product silhouettes, raster tracing, linked images, filters, external resources, or font dependencies are used. All lettering is outlined vector geometry. Every worker has a square outline body and a smaller central diamond.

## 1 — Swarm Atlas

**Question:** What would a field guide to swarm workers show?

**Answer:** A field guide would compare winged pollinators with walking seed collectors, preserving the square body and diamond core of both. Engraved botanical branches and specimen pointers turn the workers into discoveries from the same living ecosystem.

**Style:** Copperplate-inspired botanical engraving, fine parallel hatching, serif specimen-page typography, and cream spot-colour bodies on transparency. Quiet, observant, archival mood.

**Palette:** Pine `#23392E`, parchment `#F2E5BE`, ochre `#B97D37`, clay `#8A4337`.

## 2 — Above the Hum

**Question:** What does the swarm look like from a hot-air balloon?

**Answer:** From above, workers become a moving necklace of square bodies and coloured diamond cores threading between fields and waterways. A balloon-basket worker watches those paths turn the landscape into a cooperative map.

**Style:** Layered cut-paper landscape collage, broad irregular landforms, contour ribbons, seed-shaped crops, and tiny aerial figures. Airy, expansive, exploratory mood.

**Palette:** Deep estuary `#244F65`, sea glass `#A7D7CB`, warm cream `#FFE6AE`, coral `#ED785B`, meadow `#4F8B70`, citron `#DAE5A2`, river blue `#367F9B`.

## 3 — Swarm Supper

**Question:** If the swarm wrote a cookbook, what would be on the cover?

**Answer:** The cover would show a worker chef stirring a communal bowl beneath rising ribbons of steam. Tomato vines and a diamond stamped into the bowl celebrate a meal made by many small hands.

**Style:** Risograph-inspired cookbook illustration with dense warm spot colours, deliberately sparse ink-scoring flecks, swollen kitchen silhouettes, and literary serif lettering. Generous, nostalgic, convivial mood.

**Palette:** Tomato `#CA3C2C`, butter `#FFE9B0`, basil `#234D39`, toasted gold `#E8A543`.

## 4 — Pocket Workshop

**Question:** What does a worker keep in its toolbox?

**Answer:** A worker packs a spanner for repairs, a hammer for assembly, and a trowel for growing the next shared idea. The square-bodied maker is the constant between a compact embroidered tool lineup and an open-toolbox sticker.

**Style:** Bold scout-patch pictograms, stout tool silhouettes, chunky square geometry, and a three-colour thread palette; the sticker has a generous white contour forming its cut silhouette. Practical, cheerful, resourceful mood.

**Palette:** Navy `#333366`, signal yellow `#FFCC00`, white `#FFFFFF`. All three are from the permitted thread list; the cap has no gradients, text, hatching, or hairlines.

## 5 — Night Signal

**Question:** What does the swarm's graffiti look like?

**Answer:** The swarm paints enormous IMD letters above a luminous worker carrying a spray can. Diamond signatures, directional arrows, paint drips, and scattered droplets turn the wall into a bright invitation to make something together.

**Style:** Neon wild-wall graphics with oversized tilted lettering, broad painted ribbons, path-built spray stippling, and high-contrast outlined character art. Electric, unruly, nocturnal mood.

**Palette:** Midnight `#11111C`, acid yellow `#D7FF36`, hot pink `#FF438F`, cyan `#45E6E0`, violet `#6B40CF`, chalk `#F2EFFA`.

## Production and checks

- Twenty image files: ten PNGs and ten SVGs. PNGs use lossless RGB/RGBA colour and 300 ppi metadata; pixel dimensions above are authoritative. SVGs use an explicit pixel size and matching proportional viewBox.
- Transparent backgrounds: 11, 12, 32, 41, 42. The cream areas in the first three and white sticker silhouette are intentional printed colours, not background transparency.
- Full bleed with fully opaque pixels at every edge: 21, 22, 31, 51, 52. No seamless-tile products are assigned.
- Ten distinct products; no product is used twice. The poster is the brief's permitted reduced-resolution exception; use its SVG for full-size output.
- The cap's SVG has exactly three flat thread colours. PNG edge antialiasing represents coverage, not additional thread colours. The supplied cap art is an embroidery design input; Printful's standard stitch digitization remains a production step.
- All ten PNGs were decoded, dimensions and alpha checked, all ten SVGs parsed and checked for external/image/font dependencies, cap colours checked against the permitted thread list, and all ten compositions visually reviewed together after placement corrections. Lettering is restricted to the line names, IMD, imd.fun, and created by the swarm.
- No photographs, mockups, real people, frogs, other brands, prices, or political material. No visual requirements are knowingly unmet. No product-specific vendor dielines were supplied; the deliverables use the exact requested rectangular print areas, with the allowed poster-size exception.

Formats: `.png` = `image/png`; `.svg` = `image/svg+xml`; this list = `text/markdown`. SVG sources are self-contained and require no generator or installed dependencies to use.
