Steal · typographymodel draft
The circular title treatment is placed at the optical centre (one-third down from top) and sized so its diameter exactly matches the width of the largest swirling limb. Lettering is treated as notan of line: the white-on-orange circle reads as a single tone mass that interrupts the purple/blue swirl without breaking its rhythm.
Steal · grid/layoutmodel draft
Composition is built by subordination to a single radiating axis that begins at the figure's raised knee and spirals outward. Every element — limbs, fabric folds, text circle — is attached to that axis; moving any one forces the others to shift to maintain the vortex.
Steal · colormodel draft
Four values only: solid purple, solid blue, black line, and white paper. The purple and blue are used as flat notan masses, never modulated. The white circle is the sole warm accent and the only place where hue and value both change at once.

Provenance & takedown

Publicly sourced references link to an original; private or concept examples are labelled separately. All referenced work belongs to its creators. What this vault adds — and what it is for — is the commentary: the steal-notes are the content, not the pixels. Notes are written by hand unless their card says otherwise; a model draft is always labelled. Study use only.

One command puts these notes inside Claude Code. Without a key the agent sees 5 families and gets 5 calls a day — enough to judge the taste before you rent it. The key opens every family and lifts the meter.
