Raise r2, Prototemplate

Eight abstract posters on three concepts, with printed text cut from 256 elements to 24.

How it was directed

Round two answered the call for originality and less text. The sessions listed General Translation's artifacts, wrote a text budget and built eight posters on three concepts: language, the mark and the field.

Kevin rejected the set that night as the wrong direction and asked to iterate on round one under the same less-is-more rules. The next day he kept three of its posters: the GT mark, the Mercator gores and the amount on plain white.

What was made

An inventory of GT artifacts and a text budget (RULES.md) led to three concept angles (language, mark, field) and eight posters, each on a different artifact; six were ranked (orbit, summit, micro, void, mass, gores) and two dropped (sources, hand). Printed text fell from round one's 256 elements to 24.

What carried forward

The abstract direction was dropped and the work went back to round one; on 2026-10-29 Kevin kept three of the six (void, gores and micro) and set orbit, summit and mass aside.
