Prismata Editorial

A spec study in editorial systems and visual coherence

Prismata Editorial
01The Brief

An internal exploration of what happens when you build an editorial system from first principles—defining the visual language before any content exists, then letting the system generate coherent outputs across formats.

02The Approach

System + Direction Lock

We started with constraints: a limited color palette, a strict typographic hierarchy, and rules for image treatment. The system was designed to feel inevitable—every spread, every crop, every headline following the same internal logic. The hybrid pipeline allowed rapid iteration while maintaining craft standards.

03Deliverables

05Impact

This spec study became the foundation for our Campaign World offering—proving that a well-defined system can produce volume without sacrificing coherence.
