  "brief": "**Idea.** Alignment is an editorial act: the layers only make sense together.\n\n**Composition.** Cyan and magenta print plates cross the whole viewport. Crop marks, overprinted letterforms and a large registration target make the browser feel like a sheet on a press.\n\n**Navigation and complete example.** Align two ink plates for a fictional print exhibition, inspect six workshop notes and prepare a local print sheet containing the selected registration state.\n\n**Responsive and inclusive behaviour.** The print surface scales within the page; labelled numeric offset and snap buttons offer precise control without dragging. All controls are native buttons or labelled inputs. Movement is discretionary, no sound starts automatically, reduced-motion preferences remove transitions, and a direct index exposes the same content.\n\n**Adaptation.** Use overprinting for large display layers while keeping reading text single-colour. The registration state should expose a meaningful compositional relationship. Retain the relationship between navigation and content. Do not reduce the reference to a generic hero followed by interchangeable cards.\n\n**Research.** [Moniker — Conditional Design Workbook](https://studiomoniker.com/projects/conditional-design-workbook); [Conditional Design manifesto](https://conditionaldesign.org/manifesto/). These are conceptual precedents, not copied artwork, source code, branding or text. All diagrams and sample writing in this specimen are original, fictional material.",
