# Explorable Explanations carries the structure. Isotype appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Explorable Explanations (Technique, 2011–) and its accent from Isotype (Layout, 1920s–1940s). Structural cues: Numbers inside the running text sit on a dotted underline and turn blue when touched; Dragging one of those numbers rewrites the following sentence and the neighboring figure at once; Figures are not quarantined in a separate sandbox but sit continuous with the paragraphs around them; Untouched, the piece still reads, because the default values already make the figures meaningful. Accent cues, used sparingly: Unified pictograms; Repetition of signs; Axes of comparison; Restricted color. Composition: Hold the text to a single column of roughly 600px and place each figure beside or directly after the paragraph it belongs to, close enough that the handle and its effect share one field of view.. Type and lettering: Set the prose like ordinary reading matter; mark only the live numbers, with an underline and a color, and never with a different typeface.. Let one material quality come from the second style: Few meaningful colors, equal line weights, aligned baselines. Mood: Technology, Play, Trust, Intimacy. Color: build on #FFFFFF, #0000FF, #FDFFE9 with a single accent drawn from #eee7d3, #b9362c, #2c4e72. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Roughly 91 years apart. Keep one of them recognisably period rather than letting both drift into the middle.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Explorable Explanations: If the content only shows up once the reader touches something, everyone who does not touch it gets a blank article.
# - Isotype: Never scale one big symbol to show a difference. Always show unit, base and source.
