One Sheet, One Hand

Sixteen die-cut stickers scattered across one page — slogans, symbols, objects, labels — held together by two line weights and a colour budget rather than by luck. Six fields.

Village bakery

Two runs of the same template. A dev-tools pack in indigo and ochre beside a five-in-the-morning bakery in terracotta and butter — same two line weights, same die-cut edges, nothing else shared. The bakery run holds the colour budget better, staying nearer the two-thirds unfilled the template asks for.

Generated from this template with the fields shown above — sixteen die-cut stickers, every outline at one weight and every interior detail at a second, contours black throughout, and the two fills never used together on one sticker. Every object comes from the brand's own world: a wedge-tailed paper plane, an easing curve on graph paper, a pixel cursor, an esc key, a progress bar at vibary.ai. Two honest misses. The colour budget asks for roughly two thirds unfilled and this sheet runs nearer half, and the scatter settled into loose rows rather than the free arrangement described — the reference's own baseline scattered more naturally while breaking the colour rule far worse, filling almost every sticker. The sheet also came back on a transparent ground and the white was supplied on import.

Returned   1 sheet · 4:5 · scattered, not gridded

sheet     white ground, sixteen stickers at varied sizes and

edges     every sticker carries an irregular white die-cut border

lines     one weight for every outline, a thinner second weight
          for interior detail. No third weight anywhere
colour    11 of 16 are black on white · 5 carry a single flat

verdict   the object stickers all come from the brand's own

One Sheet, One Hand

Produce ONE image: a page of die-cut stickers for a single theme. Follow every line below. Replace only the FIELDS block; everything after it is fixed.

First — do you have the fields?

If any field below still has braces around it, stop and ask. Put all the questions in one short message, and show the example under each one so they can see the shape of a useful answer. Wait for the replies, then draw. Never fill a brace yourself: a value you invented is a value nobody asked for, and it will look exactly as considered as the ones they did give you.

Ask in whatever language they are writing to you in. Translate the questions and the examples; do not make someone read English to tell you what they want.

The examples are only examples. If someone answers a question, use their answer; never fall back to the example because you prefer it.

If the fields are already filled in, ignore this and carry on.

Fields — replace these six lines only

  • The theme: {what the pack is about} e.g. shipping something you designed by describing it
  • The slogans: {four to six short lines} e.g. SHIP IT · describe it · no bounce for bounce's sake · VIBE CODING · scrub it · ok but make it move
  • The objects: {six to ten things from this world} e.g. a play wedge, a cursor arrow, an easing curve on graph paper, a laptop, a terminal window, a keyboard key, a coffee cup, a paper plane
  • The interface bits: {two to four small screen-like elements} e.g. a toggle reading SHIPPED, a progress bar at 100%, a tab labelled vibary.ai, a tiny window with three dots
  • The colours: {black and white, plus at most two fills} e.g. black on white, with #5B5BD6 indigo and #E8C468 ochre as the only two fills
  • How many: {a count, and its split across the five kinds} e.g. 16 stickers — 5 slogans, 4 objects, 3 symbols, 2 interface bits, 2 decorations

The sheet

  • Vertical, 4:5. Pure white ground, no scene, no frame, no title.
  • The stated number of stickers, scattered rather than gridded: varied sizes, varied silhouettes, each turned a few degrees off square. Two or three larger stickers anchor the middle and the rest distribute around them.
  • Full but breathing — an even margin all round, no sticker touching another, no dense corner and empty corner.
  • Every sticker carries a real die-cut edge: an irregular white border following its outline, with the faintest grey line outside that. The page should read as a printed sample sheet.

The two-weight law

This is what makes sixteen drawings one set, and it is a count, not a mood:

  • One stroke weight for every outline, on every sticker, regardless of size. A small star and a large tent share it.
  • One thinner weight for every interior detail — folds, faces, screen lines, texture marks.
  • There is no third weight. A sticker whose inner details drift to a hairline stops belonging to the sheet, however well drawn it is on its own.

The colour budget

Also a count, for the same reason:

  • The sheet is black on white first. Roughly two thirds of the stickers carry no fill at all.
  • The remaining third carry one flat fill each, drawn from the two colours named in the fields. One sticker never carries both.
  • Colour never outlines. Every contour on the page is black, whatever the fill inside it.
  • No gradients, no shading, no second tone of a colour.

Stated as a budget so it stays a budget: an accent that fills most of the page has stopped being an accent, which is the way sets like this usually fail.

The five kinds

Fill the stated split with these, all on the one theme:

  1. Slogans — the given lines drawn as lettering, each in a different lettering manner: heavy hand-drawn, bubble, geometric display, pixel, tilted poster, tag. Short, bold, readable small.
  2. Objects — the things from the fields, each with a clear silhouette, exaggerated a little, never fussy.
  3. Symbols — arrows, sparks, bolts, hearts, speech bubbles, badges: small marks that punctuate rather than depict.
  4. Interface bits — a toggle, a progress bar, a tab, a small window, a status pill. These are what stop the sheet from reading as generic stationery.
  5. Decorations — four-point stars, wavy lines, dots, small flourishes to balance the composition, and no more than the stated count.

Everything comes from the theme's own world. Reaching for a generic star or heart to make up the number is how a pack ends up belonging to nobody; if the objects run short, the brief is thin and the honest answer is fewer stickers, not borrowed ones.

Never

  • ✕ a grid, a table, rows, or evenly spaced columns
  • ✕ photography, real texture, a background scene, perspective
  • ✕ a third line weight, a third colour, a coloured outline
  • ✕ gradients, drop shadows beyond the die-cut's faint edge line
  • ✕ a childish or nursery drawing manner — playful is the target, infantile is not
  • ✕ stickers overlapping each other, or bleeding off the page

The result

A page that looks already printed and behaves like a system: cut it up and every sticker still belongs to the others, because they share two line weights, one colour budget and one world.

The whole template, in one piece. The steps below are the entire workflow.

How to use it

  1. Copy the whole template with the button above.
  2. Replace the six FIELDS lines. Write the object list first — it is the honest test of whether the brand has a world, and the slogans are easy afterwards.
  3. Paste it into any image-capable agent or model, in one message. One run returns the sheet.
  4. Cut the sheet apart for production, or keep it whole as the spec: its two line weights and its colour budget are the brief for every sticker added later.

Before it runs

  • A brand with real objects in it. A sheet needs eight or so things that belong to you specifically; borrowing stars and hearts to reach the count is how a pack ends up looking like everyone's.
  • Slogans short enough to be read on a laptop lid — four words is long.
  • Two colours at most. A third is what turns a set into a pile.

When to reach for it

When merch, a launch drop or a community pack needs a whole sticker set at once. Also the fastest way to find out whether a brand's world has enough objects in it to fill a page — a thin brand shows up here immediately.

What changes

  • One printed-looking sheet: sixteen or so stickers, each with its own white die-cut edge, scattered at varied sizes and angles rather than filed into a grid.
  • Five kinds of sticker in one set — slogans, symbols, objects, interface labels, small decorations — so the pack has something to say as well as something to show.
  • They read as one set because two numbers say so: every outline shares one stroke weight, every interior detail shares a second, and nothing uses a third.
  • Colour is budgeted, not sprinkled — most stickers stay black on white, and a stated few carry fill, which is what keeps an accent an accent.
  • The sheet doubles as an audit of the brand's vocabulary: if the object stickers have to reach outside its world, the world is too small.
