Dial Note 01

Needle Points

sharp compass needles, small pivots, red tips, and the line of direction inside a dial. Keep the writing on visible form, surface, light, shadow, and object detail.

Needle Points 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.
