Vessel don'ts grid

Summary

A "don'ts" page laid out as a two-row, three-column grid of misuse examples, each a real image with a one-line caption on what to avoid.

Visual description

This slide is on a white background, breaking the section's dark rhythm. A black "8.0" header label sits top-left with a "Vessel DON'TS" sidebar label, and a black "69" top-right. Six photo panels in a 3x2 grid each carry a gray caption beneath: "Don't overlap Vessels" (two overlapping framed stills), "Avoid picking a color that doesn't relate optically to the artwork" (blue frame on a red-toned scene), "Avoid using heavy glows that compromise the artwork" (magenta glow washing out a photo), "Don't match typography and icons to Vessel color" (cyan type on a blue-lit face), "Avoid blocking key features and faces with The Vessel or glow" (orange frame over a person's face), "Don't use multiple colors in same execution" (red, yellow, and cyan frames together).

Key takeaway

A compact six-up don'ts grid where every rule is a real failure case with a terse caption, no green checks or red crosses needed. Flipping to a white background for the don'ts page signals "this is the rules section," not the inspiration.

Reuse notes

The standard misuse page for a brand or component guideline. The 3x2 captioned-photo grid holds six rules cleanly and is highly reusable. Pairs naturally after the correct-usage slides; show real broken examples rather than diagrams.
