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 Flat Design / Vector Minimalism: Simple silhouettes and clear hierarchy
- Type
- Set in Flat Design / Vector Minimalism's manner (A rounded sans-serif), and let Isometric Illustration's lettering (A concise sans with small labels) appear only where you want the eye to catch.
- Material
- Ground in Flat Design / Vector Minimalism's material (Three to five colors; shadows only when they mean something); bring in exactly one thing from Isometric Illustration (Value steps per plane, thin outlines, limited color).
- Colour
- Build on #e9f1e4, #ef6651, #3a68a8 and admit one accent from #e8efe8, #ef7353, #416c86.
Where they fight
These two are already listed as related, so the join should come easily.
Caution
- Flat Design / Vector Minimalism Figures easily become generic. Define your own ratios, lines and color rules.
- Isometric Illustration Don't draw everything at equal density. Pull the eye to the relation you're explaining.
