Light grounds and weight
All 18 graphics re-rendered to a written direction: one focal element per image, a floor for phone screens and light on dark grounds.
How it was directed
Before this round the sessions wrote a direction document from launch references and ground studies, so Kevin reviewed one stated standard instead of 18 separate choices. Each image got one focal element and a minimum size that reads on a phone. The investor images took the large a16z infra mark from his v1 note, and the founders walls set every logo at one lettering height.
Kevin did not reply to the v2 sheets before the next round went out.
What was made
After a study of launch references and ground studies, four builders and a grounds builder re-rendered all 18 graphics to DIRECTION-V2. Each image got one focal element, a 9 px phone floor and light escaping a dark body in three studio blues; the investor images got a big a16z infra mark with six names to its right, and the founders walls set every logo at one lettering height.
What carried forward
Eleven graphics carried into v2.1 unchanged, and the covers, the OG card, the stack and the globe from this round are still the shipped files. The LinkedIn 1:1, Cursor, Okta, surfaces, glossary, context and hello world were reworked in v2.1.
