Visual Asset Pack — T03 + Photo-First Correction

Date: 2026-03-27
Owner: agent-assets

Status summary

T03 successfully produced a legal-safe original SVG asset pack. However, art direction has now shifted to photo-first to improve perceived quality and appetite appeal.

This file records what remains useful from T03 and what is now deprecated as primary art.

Keep vs deprecate

Keep (active)

Category utility icons: /assets/category/icon-*.svg
Placeholder fallbacks: /assets/food/placeholder-recipe*.svg
Empty-state illustrations (temporary): /assets/empty-state/*.svg

Deprecate as primary storytelling assets

Hero illustrations: /assets/hero/*.svg
Curated illustrated dishes: /assets/food/curated/*.svg
Category illustration set: /assets/category/illustrations/*.svg

Deprecated means: not preferred for homepage hero, recipe cards, or detail hero going forward.

New source of truth (photo-first)

Strategy doc: docs/visual-audit/photo-first-assets.md
Asset pipeline: frontend/public/assets/photos/README.md
Slot manifest: frontend/public/assets/photos/manifest.json

Licensing note

Legacy T03 SVG assets remain repo-owned and safe.
New primary visuals should be real photos from approved free/licensable sources, tracked per-asset in the photo manifest.

Icon direction

Adopt lucide-react for modern, restrained UI iconography and retire emoji/mixed icon styling over time.
