Avatar construction page specifying minimum print and digital sizes, shown as a stepped row of shrinking avatars over a ruler with 0.5 in and 72 px callouts.
Summary
A construction page giving the avatar's smallest allowable sizes, 0.5 in for print and 72 px for digital, demonstrated by a row of progressively smaller marks measured against a ruler.
Visual description
Standard layout: cream left column with section number "2.4.4 Minimum size", a short caution about delicate details closing in, and two labelled minimums ("Width 0.5 in" for print, "Width 72 px" for digital); navigation list lower-left with Avatar bolded. The white panel shows four black avatar discs in a left-to-right row, each smaller than the last, the largest at left tapering to the two smallest at right. A finely-ticked horizontal ruler runs beneath the larger marks; the two smallest are each annotated above with a tiny measure bar labelled "0.5 in" and "72 px". Lots of white space frames the row. The cream footer carries copyright, title, and "Version 01".
Key takeaway
Making minimum-size legible by showing the mark actually shrinking against a real ruler, with the threshold sizes called out at the small end where they matter. The stepped-down row communicates "this is where detail starts to fail" faster than a single boxed number.
Reuse notes
A reusable minimum-size template for any detailed mark or avatar. The shrinking-row-over-ruler pattern works for both print and screen units on one page. Most relevant for marks with fine negative space (like this one) that genuinely degrade when small. Pairs with the clear-space and frame-space pages that follow.
