Dr Stan · 2026-05-16

Reference Set

42 visual references organized into 6 categories. Each tile describes a real reference image's visual logic (composition / lighting / palette / mood) so Dr Stan's creative-director can either source the matching reference OR use the spec to direct new generation. Images saved to ./images/02-scrapbook/ when capture-pass runs. The scrapbook intentionally mixes Track A (CN bold colorful) with Track B (EN editorial cream).

1 · Premium men's-health editorial (Hims · Roman · Manual · Numan)

2 · MY clinic interiors (R Clinic · Alpha · Hisential · Pantai)

Reception, treatment room, consultation chair — the physical signals of trust and discretion. Patients pre-screen the clinic visually before booking.

R Clinic Cheras · Reception
Calm clinical

Cream walls, warm-wood reception desk, soft daylight. NO acoustic-foam-and-blue-LED "tech-clinic" cliché. Reads as a family doctor's surgery — exactly the discretion Vincent 50 expects.

SOURCE · drstan.my own photography
R Clinic · Treatment Room
Medispec ED 1000

Cylindrical-probe docked, cart at standing height. Patient chair reclined. Door closed. CRITICAL CONTINUITY ANCHOR — every AI gen must reference this exact device geometry (NOT bulb, NOT wand).

SOURCE · drstan.my — device-canon reference
Alpha Clinic · Mont Kiara
Premium gateway

Gateway Kiaramas tower lobby. Marble + brass + dark wood. Reads as private-practice premium. Studied by Vincent 50 incognito-Googler.

REF · thealphaclinic.com.my
Hisential Bangsar · Door
Discretion-as-feature

Plain door, single brass plate. No "ED CLINIC" signage. Bangsar shophouse address. Translation: the entry experience matters as much as the treatment.

REF · hisential.com
Pantai Hospital · Consult Suite
Hospital-grade trust

Glass partitions, IHH-branding visible, white-uniform staff. Higher-trust ceiling but cold register — Dr Stan should not chase this.

REF · pantai.com.my
SunMed · Imaging Suite
Diagnostic theatre

Floor-to-ceiling imaging machine. Patient on table. Operator visible behind glass. Hospital-scale signal — useful for diagnostic-monologue ads where pain is "investigated."

REF · Sunway Medical
R Clinic · Doctor at desk
Dr Stanley Chan portrait

Warm interior, Dr Chan facing patient. WHITE coat, stethoscope, glasses. Mid-40s/50s authority but not stern. Smiles in some shots. Establishes the doctor as a person, not a brand symbol.

SOURCE · drstan.my — only-doctor-face we'll ever use
Prince Court · Lobby
Institutional premium

Glass + steel + KLCC view. Aspirational but cold. Reads "I'm at a hospital" not "I'm with my doctor." Counter-reference: Dr Stan must be warmer than this.

REF · princecourt.com

3 · Medispec ED 1000 device photography (CONTINUITY ANCHOR)

The device-canon. Every AI gen referencing the treatment apparatus MUST use these geometry references. Hard rule: cylindrical probe NOT bulb (bulb triggers balloon shape in AI gen). 4 caster wheels. Floor-standing cart ~110cm tall. Tilted display.

Medispec · Hero Product Shot
Cart 3/4 view

Floor-standing cart, white body, four casters visible, control screen tilted up-left, cylindrical hand-held probe docked on right side at chest height. Cable looped neatly. Pure-white seamless backdrop.

4 · CN-MY 男科 imagery (Track A — Uncle Chen · Ah Hock · Uncle Lim · Ah Keat · Mrs Lee CN)

The visual language of 男士健康 advertising in Mandarin-Chinese markets. Bolder color, higher contrast, more text density, more "uncle" approachability. Mainland 男科医院 ads run hot; Taiwan 男科诊所 ads run colder; Malaysian Chinese language reads in between.

男科医院 · Mainland CN
男科医院广告

Red + gold + bold-black layered headlines. Doctor portrait inset. Tagline: "不再当沉默的男人" ("No more silent men"). Phone number HUGE. High urgency.

REF · CN mainland aesthetic — too hot for Dr Stan but useful for "uncle" register

5 · Mrs Lee (wife) persona — the #1 converter, 95/100 sim score

What does Mrs Lee 47 look like? Where does she scroll? What's the visual register that catches her eye on IG/WhatsApp/forum? This is THE undefended channel — see artefact 03 for full persona depth.

Mrs Lee · IG feed
Reading lens

Mont Kiara/Damansara mom 45-50, lifestyle IG feed: cafes, kids' enrichment, mahjong group, anti-aging skincare. Spots Dr Stan ad while scrolling between Sephora and Sephora-adjacent.

CONTEXT · she's the placement target for "wife-bypass" creatives
Mrs Lee · WhatsApp lurk
Group-chat reality

WhatsApp group "Mont Kiara Mahjong 麻将" or "Damansara Heights Moms". Girlfriends discreetly mention "my husband used Dr Stan." Forward chain. The single most powerful Mrs Lee referral mechanic.

INSIGHT · word-of-mouth in CN-Malaysian women's WhatsApp groups is THE compounding loop
Mrs Lee · forum lurk
Lowyat hardware-zone

CHANNEL · forum-thread answers (organic) compound over months
Mrs Lee · pharmacist visit
Caring Pharmacy

Mrs Lee at Caring Pharmacy / Watsons pharmacist counter, asking quietly about "anything for my husband." Pharmacist hand-off to clinic referral is uncaptured channel for Dr Stan.

Premium-IG hero

Cream-bg editorial. Woman 45 sitting at kitchen table, phone in hand, half-smile. Copy: "You can text us. He doesn't have to know we talked first." Soft blue + cream + serif body type.

6 · Dr Stanley Chan editorial photography (warm clinical authority)

Founder face = brand face. Hard rule: no other doctor faces, no AI-gen doctor faces, only Dr Stanley Chan. The editorial register: warm, clinical, never stern, never over-friendly. Calgary-trained dignity.

Dr Stanley · Hero portrait
Founder anchor

Mid-shot, white coat, stethoscope, glasses. Eyes to camera. Neutral face — readable as competent, not salesy. Cream backdrop or warm clinic interior. 4:5 aspect for IG feed hero.

Dr Stanley · Editorial hands
Cinematic detail

Macro shot of Dr Chan's hands holding the Medispec probe. Crispy detail on hands, soft on background. Establishes the human + the device in one frame.

Brand palette swatches

Dr Stan canonical palette per BRAND-CONTEXT:

HEXRoleUsage
#1E73BEPrimary BlueHeadlines, accents, CTA buttons
#12445EDark TealEditorial body, section headers, deep card surfaces
#253034Dark textBody copy, primary text color
#F0F0F0Light GrayCard backgrounds, subtle dividers
#FFFFFFWhiteCanvas, generous whitespace, breathing room

Type system

Per BRAND-CONTEXT: Oswald (condensed, masculine) for headlines + system serif (Georgia / Tiempos / Söhne family) for editorial body. For CN tracks: Noto Sans SC bold weight 700-900 for headlines, regular 400 for body. Avoid generic sans-serif (Helvetica/Inter) for Dr Stan — too startup, too tech, undermines the 12-year doctor-authority anchor.
