Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Simple Stitch.
The plate sets two words in five colours and the stitching is the device: a dashed line runs inside each letter like a seam, and the white outline plus the shadow give the shapes a cut-paper feel, which is what a kid's merchandise design needs. That construction sets a large size floor, because the dashed seam is the first thing to disappear, and the pastel palette means the outline does the legibility work. The sparkles are staging. The caption along the foot is product copy naming the intended use. Because the letters are fat and rounded, the face suits a shirt, a card and a sticker for a young audience, and a buyer should check the smallest intended size before using it on a small patch.

Project & layout
blueprints.
Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Simple Stitch’s stroke geometry.
Shirt graphic for a children's party
A stitched display prints as party kit, and the pastel shapes read on a light shirt where a thin script would fade. The pastels read on a light shirt.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 240 mm chest graphic: the name at 55 mm cap height, the age at 26 mm, and five inks on a light shirt. Keep the stitch dash 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 dash can fill; enlarge it to 4 mm. Wash-test one shirt and confirm the seams stay open after five cycles.
Card for a child's birthday
A stitched card reads as cut paper, and the outline keeps the pale palette legible on a white ground. The outline keeps it legible.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A6 card: the greeting at 28 pt, the details in a 10 pt sans, and the date at 9 pt. Keep 15 mm margins, print five colours on a white card and leave 12 mm at the foot for the time line.
Pre-production check
Check the 28 pt greeting at home-print resolution, where the seam can close; keep the dashes above 1.2 mm. Confirm the 10 pt details keep a 4.5:1 contrast and that the card folds flat.
Sticker sheet for a party bag
A stitched display cuts as a sticker, and the outlined shapes survive a die cut where a hairline face would tear. The shapes survive a die cut.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 100 by 150 mm sheet: the greeting at 26 mm, four small shapes at 14 mm, and five colours on a vinyl sticker stock. Keep 3 mm bleed and a 2 mm gap between cuts.
Pre-production check
Check the sheet at actual size, where the shadow can cross the cut line; keep 2 mm inside. Confirm the stickers peel cleanly and that the pastels stay stable in a bag.

Bold Outline
Bold Outline shows tall rounded capitals traced by a thin coloured contour on a pale field, where the B keeps small narrow counters while the L and D leave broad white interiors, and the letter widths change across the two rows so the second word runs wider than the first.

Pencil
Pencil is a novelty display on a cream sheet: each capital sits inside a tall pencil drawn with a coloured body, a rounded cap and a shaded tip, with small school illustrations at the corners, a banner above and a badge at the left naming the styles.
