Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Mermaid Rainbow.
The plate is a children's bundle sheet, and the two rows show the set: capitals in the top row and numerals beneath, both at a size where the scale pattern and the bands read. Each letter carries a rainbow gradient and a fine scale texture in the lower half, so the fill is doing the work of an illustration, and the dark outline keeps the shapes crisp on a pale ground. That construction sets a large size floor, because the scales close into a tone first, and the characters around the frame are supplied decoration rather than glyphs. The title and the count badge are product copy. It suits a party card, a shirt and a poster for a young audience.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Mermaid Rainbow’s stroke geometry.
Invitation for a mermaid party
A scale fill names the theme in the lettering, and the pastel bands suit a party where the whole palette is soft. The pastel bands suit a soft palette.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A6 card: the greeting at 30 pt, the details in a 10 pt sans, and the date at 9 pt. Keep 15 mm margins, print four colours on a white card and leave 12 mm at the foot for the address line.
Pre-production check
Check the 30 pt greeting at home-print resolution, where the scales close into a tone; use the plain cut there. Confirm the details keep a 4.5:1 contrast and that the card folds flat.
Shirt graphic for a pool party
A scale display prints as pool kit, and the dark outline holds the letters on a light shirt. The outline keeps it crisp on a shirt.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 240 mm chest graphic: the party at 50 mm cap height, the year at 24 mm, and four inks on a light shirt. Keep the smallest scale at 3 mm and place the graphic 80 mm below the collar.
Pre-production check
Check the screen at actual mesh, where a 3 mm scale can fill; enlarge it to 4 mm. Wash-test one shirt and confirm the pastels stay clean after five cycles.
Poster for a summer class
A rainbow display names a summer theme, and the pastel bands read across a room where a dark face would look heavy. It reads across a room.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A3 poster: the class at 80 mm cap height, the dates in a 18 mm sans, and the venue at 11 mm. Keep 26 mm margins and print four colours on a white stock.
Pre-production check
Check the A3 at four metres, where a scale can vanish; use the plain cut below 40 mm. Confirm the 11 mm venue reads at two metres and that the characters clear the type.
