Variant 1 — Painted Street
Ready for review
Warm paper palette, hand-drawn flourishes, pasted-notice cards. Pitched at a tactile “neighbourhood noticeboard” feel.
Calm, magazine-style layout with strong editorial serif typography (Source Serif 4), generous whitespace, small-caps metadata, hairline rules, and a numbered entry system. Pitched at a slow-read, considered tone.
Public-service aesthetic in the spirit of a parish council. System fonts only, 19px body, zero rounded corners, signature yellow focus rings, solid green primary buttons, blue header bar, phase banner, breadcrumbs. Pitched at trust and clarity.
Map-first navigation. A cream-paper cartographic palette with sepia ink, three never-yet-used fonts (IM Fell DW Pica SC, Spectral, Work Sans), and a stylised SVG neighbourhood plan that anchors every page — big on home, sidebar minimaps on forum/events, a zoomed-in inset for Clark Street. List items are numbered “pins” that match the markers on the map.
A parish photographer's working contact sheet. Warm gallery cream + deep ink, stylised SVG illustrations framed as darkroom prints with Space Mono exposure data, Cormorant Garamond captions, DM Sans UI. Home page is anchored by a big golden-hour photograph of Clark Street and a 12-frame contact strip; Clark Street itself is a short photo essay with three hero frames interleaved with a pull-quote and a numbered working plan.
