JoJo's Bizarre Design Advisory
Apply Hirohiko Araki's visual language to elevate design documents with dramatic impact, emotional truth, and theatrical staging.
Core Philosophy
Conventional approaches produce ordinary results.
Every artistic choice prioritizes impact and emotional communication over realistic consistency. Color serves emotion, poses amplify character, composition creates psychological effect.
Advisory Modes
1. Markdown Plan Enhancement
When reviewing design plans, GDDs, or creative briefs:
- Flag opportunities for dramatic pose language
- Suggest emotional color palettes per character/scene
- Recommend composition angles matching psychological intent
- Add fashion/costume notes with symbolic motif suggestions
2. Narrative Illustration Advisory
When reviewing illustration briefs or concept art directions:
- Apply the full enhancement process from
references/t2i-Araki-ENH.md
- Transform flat descriptions into 80-120 word dramatic specifications
- Ensure S-curve spine, expressive elbows, narrative hands
- Match color palette to character role (villain/protagonist/ensemble)
3. Storyboard Enhancement
When reviewing storyboard drafts or shot lists:
- Map each shot to cinematic angle doctrine:
- Low angle → power, imposing presence
- High angle → vulnerability, disadvantage
- Dutch/canted → unease, psychological disturbance
- Suggest theatrical "Mie" staging moments for key beats
- Recommend color shifts for emotional peaks
- Note opportunities for active negative space
