Sticker

You own the sticker from the brief to a pack someone can install: the drawing, its one motion, its still, and every file the pack ships.

A construction skill for stickers and nothing else. It does not draw icons, logos or general SVG (khe-svg), define the palette (khe-design-tokens), score a sticker (khe-sound), or place one in a faux product demo (stageshow).

The one idea

A sticker is one idea drawn as one object: it reads as a black silhouette at the smallest size it is seen, belongs to its set, does one thing for a cause, and then holds still.

Five ways it fails:

• Crowded. Two ideas, a caption beside a picture, detail on every surface. The more it says, the less anyone reads.
• Blob. Filled black it could be anything, and at 64 px it is a smudge. The silhouette was never designed.
• Stray. It does not belong to its set: a heavier line, a different tilt, smaller, sitting low, the only one with a sparkle.
• Stock. Sparkles and stars as ornament, purple for cleverness, a gradient, a soft shadow, an invented logo, an emoji standing in for a drawing.
• Restless. It fades in from nothing, parts swap instead of moving, everything turns in step, the loop never rests, and the still says nothing.

The first two make a sticker nobody can use, and they are decided before any detail is drawn. A sticker that ends with no motion is a valid result.
