Hand-drawn educational infographic with macaron pastel color blocks on warm cream paper texture.
Color Palette
- Background: Warm cream (#F5F0E8) with subtle paper grain texture
- Primary text: Deep charcoal (#2D2D2D) for headlines, outlines
- Macaron Blue: #A8D8EA for cool-toned information zones
- Macaron Mint: #B5E5CF for growth/positive zones
- Macaron Lavender: #D5C6E0 for abstract/concept zones
- Macaron Peach: #FFD5C2 for warm-toned zones
- Accent: Coral Red (#E8655A) for key data, warnings, emphasis
- Muted annotations: Warm gray (#6B6B6B) for secondary labels
Visual Elements
- Macaron pastel rounded cards as distinct information zones
- Hand-drawn wavy connection lines and arrows with small text labels
- Simple stick-figure characters and cartoon icons to humanize concepts
- Doodle decorations: small stars, underlines, spirals, sparkles
- Color fills don't completely fill outlines — preserve casual hand-drawn feel
- Dashed borders for secondary or contained zones
- Small icon doodles (clipboard, lock, checkmark, lightbulb) to reinforce concepts
- Bold centered quote or takeaway at the bottom
- Slight hand-drawn wobble on all lines and shapes
Variants
| Variant | Focus | Visual Emphasis |
|---|---|---|
| Sketch-notes | Concept mapping | More stick figures, thought bubbles, connecting arrows |
| Pastel cards | Structured info | Cleaner macaron blocks, less doodle, more white space |
Typography
- Main title: Bold hand-drawn lettering with organic strokes, large confident letterforms with slight wobble
- Section headers: Hand-lettered text on or inside macaron color blocks
- Body text: Clear handwritten print style, legible but not mechanical
- Annotations: Warm gray (#6B6B6B), smaller, neat handwritten labels
- Keywords: Bold emphasis within body text
Style Enforcement
- All lines must have slight hand-drawn wobble — no perfect geometry
- Each information zone uses a distinct macaron color block
- Maintain consistent wobble quality across all shapes and lines
- Include at least one simple cartoon character or stick figure
- Generous white space between zones — each zone should breathe
- Maximum 4 macaron colors per infographic
Avoid
- Perfect geometric shapes or straight lines
- Photorealistic elements or stock illustration style
- Pure white backgrounds
- Flat vector icons or digital-precision graphics
- Overcrowded layouts — let zones breathe
- Corporate or clinical aesthetic
