Prompt
Create a composition inspired by messy handwritten notes, while maintaining clear visual hierarchy and readability.
Core Structure:
- Establish a clear focal element (text or object)
- Position focal near center or slightly offset (rule of thirds)
- Ensure it occupies the largest visual weight
Elements:
- Handwritten-style text blocks (vary size and importance)
- Arrows, circles, highlights, underlines
- Small doodles and icons (stars, lines, simple shapes)
Hierarchy Control:
- Primary: focal element (largest, clearest)
- Secondary: supporting notes (medium size)
- Tertiary: small doodles and accents (smallest scale)
Chaos Control:
- Use clustered messiness, not full-frame randomness
- Keep clear breathing space around focal
- Avoid overlapping critical content
Structure:
- Hidden grid alignment underneath
- Intentional spacing between clusters
- Guide the eye using directional elements (arrows, lines)
Color System:
- Base: white / paper tone
- Ink: black or dark grey
- Accents: maximum 1–2 colors only
Style:
- Imperfect, human, slightly chaotic
- Controlled, not cluttered
- Sketch-like but readable
Mood:
- Personal, expressive, slightly playful
Balance Rule:
- 60–70% structured space
- 30–40% “messy” expression
