bolder

Increase visual impact and personality in designs that are too safe, generic, or visually underwhelming, creating more engaging and memorable experiences.

MANDATORY PREPARATION

Invoke /impeccable — it contains design principles, anti-patterns, and the Context Gathering Protocol. Follow the protocol before proceeding — if no design context exists yet, you MUST run /impeccable teach first.

Assess Current State

Analyze what makes the design feel too safe or boring:

1. Identify weakness sources:
   • Generic choices: System fonts, basic colors, standard layouts
   • Timid scale: Everything is medium-sized with no drama
   • Low contrast: Everything has similar visual weight
   • Static: No motion, no energy, no life
   • Predictable: Standard patterns with no surprises
   • Flat hierarchy: Nothing stands out or commands attention
