Task: Complete Graphic Design Overhaul
Important
Assigned to: Natasha Mezheven
Status: Not Started (pending employment start)
Scope: Full redesign of all visual identity elements for ColivingLiguria
Overview
Natasha is tasked with completely redesigning the visual identity and graphic style guidelines for ColivingLiguria. The current guidelines in AI-Website-Build-Guide are to be treated as a starting point only, not as final decisions.
Once redesign is complete and approved by Simone, the new style guidelines will be applied across the entire website (TSX components, Markdown pages, LaTeX documents) using AI-assisted batch updates.
Scope of Work
1. Logo Design 🎨
Current Status: We have a preliminary logo, but it requires professional review and possible redesign.
Requirements:
- The logo must be clear and readable at all sizes (favicon to banner)
- Must work on both light and dark backgrounds
- Should convey: community, nature, Liguria, hospitality
- Deliverables needed:
- Full color version
- Monochrome version (black & white)
- Icon-only version (for favicons/small spaces)
- Text-only version (for contexts where icon is shown separately)
- Vector source files (SVG/AI)
Current logo location: /quartz/static/logo/
2. Color Palette 🎨
Current file: Color-Palette.md
Task: Review and completely redefine the color palette. Consider:
- Primary brand colors
- Secondary/accent colors
- Semantic colors (success, warning, error, info)
- Light mode colors
- Dark mode colors
- CSS variable naming conventions
Deliverable: Updated Color-Palette.md with new HEX/RGB codes and CSS variables.
3. Typography
Task: Define font choices for:
- Headings (H1-H6)
- Body text

Current file: Photo-Assets.md
Task:
- Review all existing photos
- Define which photos are suitable for marketing/hero use
- Establish photo style guidelines (lighting, mood, composition)

- Curate/select stock photos if needed
5. Design Principles & Keywords
Current file: Design-Principles.md
Task: Redefine the core design philosophy. Current keywords include:

Natasha should propose her own vision while respecting the brand’s rural/community identity.

Task: Review and potentially redesign the visual style of:
- Cards

All styles are defined in /quartz/components/styles/.
Process
