Produce four original images in the visual language of ADV / NVL Text Layout, a layout from Games and Play, 1990s–.

## What to make

Make the kind of thing this style exists for: choosing between the two layouts when building a reading app that advances dialogue one line at a time, or presenting a long monologue or letter as an accumulating page rather than a sequence of screens. Choose one subject and hold it across all four images.

## What has to be visible

- In ADV mode a wide window stays at the bottom of the screen and holds one line at a time
- In NVL mode the text fills the screen and the lines already read stack upward
- An NVL page break clears the whole stack at once and the next page starts empty
- Choices behave differently in each mode: NVL puts them directly after the current text instead of on a full screen menu

Someone who knows this style should be able to point at each of these in the finished image.

## How to build it

- Layout and structure: In ADV mode pin the window to a band at the bottom and leave the art above it. In NVL mode give the window the whole screen and stack lines from the top. Decide the lines per page before anything else
- Type and lettering: Fix the line spacing and put the speaker's name at the head of the line. Give each speaker a distinct name colour so the voice is legible at a glance
- Material and surface: Lay a translucent window over background and character art, dark or light enough that text survives whatever is behind it. Pick speaker colours by the value that separates them from the background
- Colour: #FFFFFF carries the ground, #C8FFC8 is the colour the style is remembered by, #1A1A1A holds text and outlines. Read off real works, so treat them as a direction rather than a fixed palette.
- What it should feel like: intimacy, calm

## What goes wrong

Stacking lines in NVL mode without inserting page breaks pushes text below the bottom of the screen where it cannot be read.

## Across the four

Keep every cue above present in all four. Vary the framing, the scale and the arrangement so the set shows the range this style covers rather than four versions of one picture.

## Constraints

- Do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work.
- Do not reproduce the composition of an existing work.
- Produce original compositions in the general period language described above.
