The recreation brief is written by Reference. ## Before you start Guidance from Reference, separate from the creator's instructions. 1. Read the reference and inspect the project, installed libraries, and available agent skills before writing code. Reuse suitable tools already present. 2. Prefer the creator-reported libraries and skills when they fit the task. Explain what useful additions help with, and install missing project dependencies or relevant skills from official sources when the environment and the user's existing permissions allow it. Respect the project's package manager and setup rules; do not ask again for routine setup already authorized. 3. Distinguish tools used by the creator from your own recommendations. A listed tool is not automatically required, and an empty tools or requirements list means the setup is unknown, not that nothing is needed. 4. Ask concise questions when missing inputs or choices materially affect the result: paid services, credentials, the user's assets, or a different production approach. Use existing answers and permissions; continue independent work while waiting. 5. If a useful library, skill, or service cannot be installed or used, explain an available alternative and its expected effect on quality, features, or effort. Get the user's choice before a material compromise; otherwise state the fallback and continue. Never silently simplify the result or claim to have used a tool you did not use. ## Recreating this video This is a visual reference. No original creator prompt is available. The following brief was written by Reference after inspecting the work. Adapt the cyanotype vocabulary to another collection of natural specimens, such as seaweed, seed pods or feathers. Use pale, finely detailed silhouettes over a textured navy ground, mixing faint background impressions with brighter foreground shapes. Build contrasting compositions around isolated specimens, dense edge crops and circular negative space. 1. Open the live work or source and inspect the frame images below. 2. Adapt its layout, hierarchy, palette, and interaction patterns to the user's own content and brand. 3. Compare the result against the reference. Use your own assets and credit the original creator. ## What it looks like Written by Reference from the video frames, not by the creator. Blueprint-like illustrations of fern fronds and curled fiddleheads against a dark field. - Color: Deep navy and midnight blue with pale icy-blue and white botanical linework. - Type: Fine technical, hand-drawn outlines and etched details; no visible typography. - Framing: Fern leaves and spiral fiddleheads arranged as crisp, high-contrast forms against generous dark negative space. - Structure: A consistent botanical blueprint aesthetic, with individual fronds, stems, and curled shoots forming the visual motifs.
