12 / Mapu brand system

Applications

The system is only real when it survives contact with a small icon, a plain-text email and a printed page. Every application below uses the same tokens, the same proportion and the same restraint. Layouts are shown as design demonstrations.

App icon

Interim: the reversed file used as a plate. A symbol-only icon is still to be drawn.

Start together

Family development

Structure for growing independence

Agree what matters, practise it together, and hand it over when it’s ready.

Email

Plain, single-column, readable without images loading.

Sunday review

Your review with Ana is at 18:00

Three agreements are up for review this week. One is ready to move across to Ana.

Open the review

You receive this because you set a weekly review time. Change it in Foundation.

Rules

  • One message, one action. Never two competing buttons.
  • Subject lines state the fact: “Your review with Ana is at 18:00”.
  • No image is load-bearing; the email reads fully as text.
  • Sent only at times the family has already agreed to.
  • Never sends a teenager’s activity to a parent’s inbox.

Social

Built to become unnecessary.

One question a week

“What’s one thing you’d like to decide for yourself next month?”

Progress is measured by what a family no longer needs us for.

Mapu

One idea per frame, no stacked text over photography, no more than one blue surface per post.
