01 / overview

Why it exists

An experiment in using a visual reference as the starting point for a physical design, while keeping the result editable instead of hiding the work inside a one-click conversion.

The build question

What is the smallest amount of manual structure needed to turn a reference image into a clean, useful design?

03 / build file

Current boundary

The project remains a workflow experiment until the reference, editable source, and printed result can be shown together.
