Design System

Imagery & photography

Desaturated tones, operational context.
  • Sensor aesthetic. Desaturated FLIR-adjacent footage, muted topographic satellite imagery, night-vision greens kept low-saturation. No slick product photography with bright studio lighting. No stock photos of soldiers.
  • Map imagery. Real OpenStreetMap extracts, SRTM-derived contour renders. The earth tones sit in the topographic range defined above.
  • Hardware. If showing devices (ruggedized iPad, radio, radar unit), shoot or render against deep navy with a single directional light. Matte surfaces. No chrome reflection gimmicks.
  • No illustration. The system does not use illustrated people, friendly mascots, or hand-drawn textures. Where a concept needs a visual, use a diagram with the tactical callout style above.
