# Build brief: Mixed Media

Resource base: https://mejohnc.org (or the preview host used to obtain this file).

Use this direction within the user’s requested project and existing design constraints.

## Illustrative use case, not project requirements
A project case study combining process photographs with drawn annotations.

A composition combining distinct media such as photography, drawing, and cut paper. The contrast between the materials should contribute to the idea.

## Essential cues
- Multiple media
- Visible layering
- Material contrast

## Recipe
- Choose one dominant medium.
- Use the second to annotate or contrast.
- Repeat a small set of alignment points.

## Optional decoration
Prepare a small set of photographs and drawn or cut-paper overlays.

## Avoid
Adding texture without purpose or letting overlaps cover text and links.

## Values and validation
Read [tokens](/territories/mixed-media/tokens.json) and [acceptance checklist](/territories/mixed-media/checklist.md). Use [the working example](/territories/mixed-media/example/) to inspect color roles, spacing, hierarchy, and interaction states. It is a UI translation, not a reproduction of historical art. Tokens describe the base UI; [example CSS](/territories/assets/example.css) contains the style-specific composition and decorative layer. Preview navigation with `?navigation=top`, `?navigation=sidebar`, or `?navigation=tabs`; combine with `project`. Use [Compare](/territories/compare/) for mobile (390 px), tablet (820 px), and desktop (1440 px) viewports.

## Delivery
Preserve real content and existing working behavior. Check keyboard, narrow layout, error, empty, and success states. Report any departures from this recipe with a reason. Do not claim to have inspected a preview or run checks that you could not access.
