Dial Note 06

Case Hinges

worn cases, latch edges, brass corners, and the object outside the dial. Keep the writing on visible form, surface, light, shadow, and object detail.

Case Hinges visual detail

Keep it visual, not instructional.

Cleanvane works best when the compass is treated as a small object with lines, circles, glass, and reflected metal.

Let the object carry the mood.

Write about needles, rings, marks, paper, and shine. Avoid telling anyone where to go, how to navigate, or how to use an instrument.
