## Identity
- Website: https://www.apple.com/
- Language: en
- tagline: Space for your ideas.
- description: Devices, software and digital services.
- positioning: Apple brings together devices, software and services. Its Mac pages show creative and work uses. Our concept follows an idea becoming a document, with a clear human benefit rather than a list of specifications.
- audience: For this concept: people writing, sketching or preparing a presentation. The starting point is their idea, not a computer specification sheet.

## Colors
- Concept color 1: #1D1D1F — Primary ink / headline color.
- Concept color 2: #D6EBF6 — Secondary treatment color; never recolor the logo.
- Concept color 3: #FFFFFF — Light composition surface.

## Typography by role
- heading: Inter 28pt SemiBold 600 — The MacBook Air page uses SF Pro Display/Text with a clear semibold hierarchy. These exports use Inter SemiBold/Inter, explicitly identified open substitutes, not SF Pro files. Tight centered headlines, short copy and a separate small product name. ([font file](https://thepalette.app/examples/apple/assets/apple_font_0?lang=en)) — [source / licence](https://thepalette.app/examples/type/inter-OFL.txt)
- body: Inter 400 — Short secondary copy with clear contrast against headings. Adapt size to format and length. Openly licensed concept typeface, not the official font; keep the license with the file. ([font file](https://thepalette.app/examples/apple/assets/apple_font_1?lang=en)) — [source / licence](https://thepalette.app/examples/type/inter-OFL.txt)

## Voice
Be clear and specific, in the brand’s voice. Avoid filler, clichés and gratuitous flourishes. Match the length to the format; headings, slogans and CTAs should serve the content. The brand’s own guidance and examples take precedence.

### tone
- Simple. Precise. Room to breathe.
### use
- Write one simple sentence about what the person can create.
- Separate the headline from its explanation, without stacking slogans.
- Only cite a specification when sourced for the exact model.
### avoid
- Invent a future Mac, chip, battery life or release date.
- Present the AI product interpretation as an official render.
- Redistribute SF Pro or present Inter as Apple’s official typeface.
### examples
- Instead of “Revolutionize your creativity” → “Space for your ideas.”
- Instead of “Limitless power” → “From the first sketch to the next presentation.”

## Visual rules
### Do
- Use the sky-blue MacBook Air in the product reference: thin profile, open display, recognizable keyboard and screen. Preserve its geometry; do not substitute a generic laptop.
- Compose a product communication: a large, isolated sculptural device on white or icy blue. Prioritize the product and one idea, without desk accessories.
- Adapt composition to the format: panoramic floating product on slides, centered device in the ad, industrial detail on A4. Keep text off the product.
- Read the Apple references below before generating. Palette visuals are independent AI interpretations, not downloaded official renders.
- Logo: preserve proportions, without an added white box; keep at least half a logo-height clear around it \(concept rule\).
- Formats: 1080 × 1350 ad; 16:9 slides; 210 × 297 mm A4 sheet. Reuse the reference files, not a screenshot of the website.
### Avoid
- Anonymous laptop from behind, notebook, pencil, beige desk, generic lifestyle photography, thin SaaS-template typography.
- Inventing a model, ports, interface, price or specification; presenting the concept as an official campaign.
- Presenting these materials as official guidelines or a collaboration with Palette.

## Notes and gaps
- Reusable brief : Compose a creative-work campaign: a 4:5 ad, a 3-slide presentation and an A4 page. Use the referenced sky-blue MacBook Air and product-communication framing, with a clear semibold headline and original logo. No generic laptop, notebook or decorative desk. Do not invent specifications, prices or technical promises.
- Concept messages : The idea before the tool. A benefit understood in one sentence. Space is part of the message.
- Independent demo. Trademarks used illustratively; no affiliation. AI-generated visuals, layouts and concept copy created for Palette from the cited public references. Proposed styles do not replace official brand guidelines.
