A 3:4 portrait editorial roadmap poster titled "fieldnote — brand refresh, spring through autumn 2026", printed on warm 200gsm cream stock (#F4EEE3) with visible paper fiber. The layout follows a rigorous 14-column grid with hairline guides at 8% opacity, giving the poster a quiet technical underpinning beneath its editorial feel. A top band runs across the full width: "north star" in small italic serif left-aligned, then in a large medium-weight serif at 34pt: "a brand that feels more like us, six months from now." A thin charcoal rule separates the band from the roadmap body. The main roadmap occupies two-thirds of the page and reads left-to-right across a horizontal time axis labeled with months april through october in small monospaced caps at the bottom edge. Four phases are color-coded as stacked horizontal bands with 4mm gaps between them: Discovery (sage #8DA088, april to early may), Direction (warm ochre #C79A5D, mid-may to june), Design (deep coral #C44A36, july to mid-august), Deployment (slate blue #4A5A6E, late august to october). Within each band, parallel workstream tracks run as thinner 8mm horizontal lanes labeled in small caps on the left margin: IDENTITY, VERBAL, DIGITAL, PHYSICAL. Milestones appear as solid circular dots on the lanes with short labels in 9pt monospace ("audit complete", "tone of voice draft", "logo finals", "site beta", "retail rollout"). Decision gates are rendered as inverted coral diamonds on the phase boundaries — four of them — each labeled above in italic serif: "Direction review", "Design approval", "Launch readiness", "Post-launch gate". Above the deployment phase, two small circular red risk markers appear on the digital and physical lanes with a slim connector line to a side note in 9pt: "timeline compression possible if vendor slips". Team callouts float in the margins: to the left of Discovery, the text "led by: Diego I. + Research" in a handwritten-feel script font at 11pt, with a thin connector line pointing to the phase. Each phase has its own team callout. A secondary zone below the roadmap runs the full width: three stacked rows showing "what we'll know", "what we'll decide", "what we'll ship" at each gate — a narrative trio that reads across the time axis in warm charcoal italic serif. Bottom margin carries the document signature: "fieldnote studio / prepared by diego ibarra / v1.2 — april 2026 / print run of 25 for the office wall" in 8pt monospace, paired with a tiny printed lumino-style icon mark at the far right. The whole poster has hand-touched moments — a 1mm registration offset on the coral ink, an occasional mispacked pixel in the diamonds, a single warmth-tinted thumbprint smudge in the lower left corner — that make it feel made rather than generated. It reads as a document someone actually lives with.
