Compose two styles
Rather than blending two styles into a middle, this assigns them roles: one carries the structure, the other appears as an accent. Where the two fight, it says so before you start.
How to divide the work
- Composition
- Follow Claymorphism: One large dimensional object and a short caption
- Type
- Set in Claymorphism's manner (A rounded sans-serif), and let Kidcore's lettering (Big rounded letters, hand lettering) appear only where you want the eye to catch.
- Material
- Ground in Claymorphism's material (Tonal lights and darks, rounded corners, a soft contact shadow); bring in exactly one thing from Kidcore (Red, yellow, blue, plastic, thick outlines).
- Colour
- Build on #f0e4ef, #d18ccc, #6d6ac7 and admit one accent from #ffdf32, #f33f56, #2f75d6.
Where they fight
These two are already listed as related, so the join should come easily.
Caution
- Claymorphism Don't leave control states to shadows alone. Reserve the volume for the hero.
- Kidcore Don't confuse child-directed with childish. Mind age-appropriateness and safety.

Color: build on #f0e4ef, #d18ccc, #6d6ac7 with a single accent drawn from #ffdf32, #f33f56, #2f75d6.
