Art Direction

Dr Stan · 2026-05-16 · Phase 2

PHOTOGRAPHY · PALETTE · TYPOGRAPHY · MOTION · AI-GEN PROMPTS

The art-direction system that makes every Dr Stan creative recognisable as Dr Stan within 200ms. Three visual tracks (A · EN-Premium / Manual UK, B · CN-Bold / XHS-uncle-health, C · Mrs Lee / Goop-Bangsar-Babes) sit on top of two non-negotiable anchors (Track D Medispec ED 1000 device discipline + Track E Dr Stanley editorial portrait — NEVER AI-gen). Brand palette is the Dr Stan Editorial Blue system, type pairs Oswald display + Noto Sans SC CJK + Geist body + Fraunces accent (Track C only). Photography is real-only for the device + Dr Stanley layers; Nano Banana Pro composite + edit-mode is permitted for Track A/B/C scene elements but never for the credential anchor itself.

Banned palette regions

NEVER USE

Neon red / yellow / pink — instantly reads as roadside-CN-男科 billboard (REF-15 anti-pattern). The category-poisoning anti-reference.
Hospital green — clinical-cold, dilutes Manual UK / Hims warmth. Pantai Hospital owns this — we don't.
Hims Pink coral — too consumer / aspirational-wellness. Dilutes our Calgary-MD-clinical authority.
AG1 dark green — wellness-not-medical. Wrong cultural register for KL men's-health.

§ B Typography System · 4-Way Pairing

Track A and Track B share the same body sans-serif (Geist) and same monospace caption (JetBrains Mono). They diverge on display headlines (Oswald for EN, Noto Sans SC for CN). Track C breaks the system with Fraunces italic serif — only place serif appears in display position.

TRACK A · EN-PREMIUM HEADLINE · OSWALD 600
Treatable. Not with pills.
Calgary-trained. IMU Associate Professor. 12 years in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur. 500 men. 90% improvement. Six 20-minute sessions on a Medispec ED 1000 — FDA-approved.
TRACK B · CN-BOLD HEADLINE · NOTO SANS SC BLACK
修复,不是吃药。
Calgary 毕业的陈医生,IMU 副教授,Cheras R Clinic 12 年咯。500 个男人,90% 改善。6 次 EDSWT,每次 20 分钟,FDA 认证的 Medispec ED 1000。私聊我们 '修复' 看完整资料。
TRACK C · MRS LEE HEADLINE · FRAUNCES 500 ITALIC
For the wives who already know.
PM us "WIFE" and we'll send you the PDF I wrote for women researching for their husbands. He doesn't have to know yet. Dr Stanley Chan, MD Calgary · IMU Associate Professor · 12 years in Cheras.

Banned typography

NEVER USE

Inter sans-serif — too tech-startup. Wrong cultural register for medical authority. (Existing global memory anti-pattern.)
Times New Roman or Helvetica — too generic-corporate. Falls flat against Hims's Roman / Manual's editorial elegance.
All-caps Noto Sans SC — CJK doesn't have a true uppercase. Bolding to weight 900 is the correct CN-shout.
Hand-script or brush fonts — reads as roadside-CN-男科 / TCM-pseudoscience. Banned across all tracks.
Comic Sans, Impact, Papyrus — obvious. Banned forever.

§ C Photography Direction

Track A · EN-Premium Photography

LightSoft window-light from camera-left or natural overcast. Never on-camera flash, never harsh sun, never warm-tungsten.
Lens35mm or 50mm equivalent. Mild compression. Never wide-angle distortion. Never telephoto compression.
SubjectDr Stanley Chan — face anchor (REF-35/36). Patient stand-in only if model release on file.
BackgroundR Clinic interior OR cream studio paper (#F5F1E8). Out-of-focus, low-key, never busy.
ExpressionEyes-to-camera, neutral or slight smile. Never lab-coat-stern, never aggressive sales-pitch energy.
WardrobeDark navy soft jacket OR clinical coat (white). Never tie. Never floral shirt.
CompositionRule-of-thirds, subject left-third, copy right-third. Generous negative space at top.
CropMid-shot (waist-up) for hero. 3/4 portrait for testimonial. Never extreme closeup.

Track B · CN-Bold Photography

LightSame as Track A — soft window-light, cool-white, never warm. Slightly higher contrast permitted vs Track A for bold-CN energy.
Lens50mm. Subject-isolated focus.
SubjectDr Stanley Chan + bold CN type overlay (post-prod in Figma). NEVER additional model. NEVER AI-gen substitute face.
BackgroundR Clinic OR pure white (#FFFFFF) — bolder than Track A cream. The high-contrast register Uncle Chen + Ah Hock respond to.
ExpressionConfident, eyes-to-camera, hand-on-device-cart permitted. Authority register.
CompositionCenter-weighted with bold CN type filling left-third or top-third. Single subject, no second person.
Allowed deviceTrack D Medispec ED 1000 in frame (cylindrical probe — NEVER bulb). Reinforces credibility floor.

Track C · Mrs Lee Photography

LightSoft window-light or natural overcast — softer than Track A/B. Slight golden-hour permitted (rare exception to "no warm" rule — only on women-targeted ad-sets, never on man-targeted).
Lens35mm or 50mm. Slight bokeh. Editorial / Goop register.
SubjectHands-and-rings-and-tea-cup OR mid-life woman 40-55 model release on file (NOT Dr Stanley as subject for Mrs Lee track — Dr Stanley appears only as credential-anchor secondary placement). NEVER man subject.
BackgroundSoft sage-cream (#F0F2EC) OR dusty-rose (#F5E8E5) OR neutral kitchen / patio / yoga-studio backdrop. Bangsar-Babes register.
WardrobeCream / linen / soft-pink layers. No clinical clothing. Mrs Lee's own visual vocabulary.
CompositionEditorial — Cosmo / Goop / R29. Wide frame, generous negative space. Single subject or paired objects (tea-cup + hand + ring), never paired-people.
Hashtag overlay#marriageresearch #midlifecare #premiumdiscretion — never #ED or #shockwave

§ D AI-Generation Prompt Guards

Four canonical AI-gen prompt safety patterns. Memorise these — every drift away costs the credential floor.

GUARD 1 · Device discipline · ALWAYS

❌ "shockwave bulb on stick"
✅ "Medispec ED 1000 cylindrical probe docked on floor-standing cart, 4 caster wheels, tilted display screen on top, R Clinic operating-room interior"

Banned tokens: "bulb", "wand", "balloon", "tip" — all produce Christmas-light or massage-gun aesthetics. Always: "cylindrical probe", "docked probe", "ED 1000".

GUARD 2 · Dr Stanley provenance · NEVER substitute

❌ "asian doctor in his 50s, white coat, calgary alma mater"
✅ "use REF-35 (drstan.com.my hero photo) as identity anchor — composite Dr Stanley into the scene via Nano Banana Pro edit-mode, do NOT regenerate his face"

Edit-mode Nano Banana Pro keeps the face pixel-identical to the source ref. T2I from scratch produces a stranger that destroys the 12yr provenance. Always edit-mode, never txt2img for face.

GUARD 3 · No anatomy diagrams · NEVER

❌ "penile anatomy cross-section, vascular blood flow diagram"
✅ "editorial vascular-flow schematic, Numan UK style, no anatomy diagrams, abstract vessel cross-section in editorial illustration only, KKM-compliant"

KKM hard-flag region. Always abstract / metaphor — never photoreal anatomy.

GUARD 4 · No miracle / cure tropes · NEVER

❌ "miracle cure men's clinic ad, breakthrough treatment guaranteed results"
✅ "premium men's-health clinic hero, Manual UK editorial register, cream background, serif headline 'Treatable. Not with pills.', 12-year credential floor"

"Cure" / "miracle" / "guaranteed" / "breakthrough" — all KKM red-flags AND brand-credibility floor violations. Always: "treatable", "improvement", "repair", "restore".

§ I Production Pipeline · Canonical Order

  1. Brief generation — Pull from artefact 13 hook bank · pick hook + angle + template + persona
  2. Reference loader — Pull canonical refs from artefact 12 · REF-35/36 (Dr Stanley) + REF-27 (device) + track-specific scene refs
  3. Prompt assembly — 7-layer prompt: SAFETY (KKM compliance) + REFERENCE (REF tokens) + BRAND (palette + voice + DNA) + CAMPAIGN (hook + angle) + COPY (3-line body) + TYPOGRAPHY (track-specific) + OUTPUT (size + format)
  4. Generation — Nano Banana Pro in edit-mode for Dr Stanley face anchor + scene composition. NEVER text-to-image for face.
  5. VLM compare audit — `vlm-see.sh --image X --ref REF-35 --task compare --brand drstan --dimensions "reference-fidelity:0.4,aesthetic:0.3,brand-consistency:0.2,gate-compliance:0.1"`
  6. Reject if reference-fidelity <7 OR gate-compliance <100% — regardless of aesthetic score
  7. If pass → mint ad_id via `ad-id-mint.sh --brand drstan --type ad --channel meta --title "" --destination "wa.me/60129289932"`
  8. Upload to Meta with `ad_name=` + use `tracked_url` as destination
  9. Compound log — record win-rate post-launch back to artefact 13's est-win table for next cycle

§ L Reference-Fidelity Audit Threshold · Locked

Per the memory feedback rule (feedback_audit_must_compare_reference.md) — every Dr Stan creative must pass reference-fidelity compare-mode audit, not just aesthetic score. Locked thresholds:

DimensionWeightPass ThresholdHard Floor (auto-reject)
Reference-fidelity vs REF-35 (Dr Stanley face)40%≥ 8/10< 7/10 = AUTO-REJECT
Aesthetic / composition / craft30%≥ 7.5/10< 6/10 = AUTO-REJECT
Brand-consistency (palette + type)20%≥ 8/10< 7/10 = AUTO-REJECT
Gate-compliance (KKM + no-cure + 90% + no-price)10%100% (binary)< 100% = AUTO-REJECT

Aesthetic-only scoring (VLM --task score) is forbidden as the sole audit on Dr Stan creatives. The reference-fidelity dimension is non-skippable.
