Just a Little Help from My Friends (Claude & Leonardo)

Just a Little Help from My Friends (Claude & Leonardo)

I’m working on Kairos and needed a little help with structure and design.

Meet Claude & Leonardo.

Claude has already helped quite a bit: I Asked Claude AI for Some Help with my Book Structure.

Here’s more.

Here’s my prompt:

Create a set of 27 (twenty seven) circular icons in the style of vintage travel posters, one separate and unique icon for each of the following 27 totems:

  1. Sunrise alarm clock
  2. Match
  3. Compass
  4. Hammock
  5. Mood ring
  6. Self-watering plant
  7. Prism
  8. Swiss Army knife
  9. Set of tuning forks
  10. Star chart
  11. Hourglass
  12. Moral compass
  13. Chameleon figurine
  14. Treasure map
  15. Stone dropping in water
  16. Ship’s wheel
  17. Vision board
  18. Time capsule
  19. Tuning fork
  20. Conductor’s baton
  21. Journal
  22. Friendship bracelet
  23. Blank canvas
  24. Phoenix figurine
  25. Magnifying glass
  26. Set of alphabet blocks
  27. Metronome

Use a color palette inspired by vintage travel posters, focusing on muted pastels and bold, flat colors. Each design should be simple and stylized, with clean lines and minimal details. Incorporate subtle textures to give a printed look. Each icon should have a thin, circular border to emphasize its shape. Include stylized typography or simple banner elements. The overall feel should be nostalgic yet energetic, evoking a sense of adventure and movement. Maintain a light and airy quality despite the vintage style. Ensure consistency in style and size across all 27 icons while allowing each to be distinct and recognizable.

Here’s Midjourney’s shot at it:
