Visual Direction
Hybrid Direction Recommended
Use a hybrid mode: - Bio mode uses restrained archival styling - Stories mode uses cinematic composition and slide energy
Why hybrid wins
A purely documentary look undersells transformation. A fully stylized look can weaken authenticity. A hybrid approach keeps trust and adds premium perception.
Visual rules
- one strong focal image per section
- restrained typography in Bio mode
- bolder framing in Stories mode
- no overproduced AI-gloss aesthetic
- preserve emotional seriousness of the memoir source
