Design System Enhancement: Visual Identity Upgrade

This enhancement elevates SIX's visual identity across all versions (v1-v4) through AI-generated imagery, rich animations, and a refined icon system. These are cross-cutting improvements, not a standalone version.

Key Principle

These visual improvements are cross-cutting enhancements that apply to all architectural versions (v1, v2, v3, v4). Icons, animations, and imagery benefit the entire application regardless of which version a user experiences. This is not a standalone version—it's a design system upgrade.

Vision

Elevate SIX's visual identity from functional demo to portfolio-grade experience across all versions through AI-generated imagery, rich animations, and a refined icon system. This positions the project as a showcase of modern web aesthetics and technical sophistication.

Enhancement Areas

AI Image Generation

Generate dynamic product and lifestyle imagery using Google Gemini Image Models (Nano Banana Pro, Imagen 3) or Replicate Flux models. Replace static placeholders with AI-generated visuals that match persona and context. Shared across all versions.

Approach: Build-time generation (~$1-3 one-time) or on-demand with caching

Rich Micro-Interactions

Add Lottie or Rive animations for loading states, success feedback, and interactive elements. Create smooth transitions and delightful micro-interactions that enhance the user experience. Shared components apply to all versions.

Tools: Lottie React, Rive React, Framer Motion

Refined Icon System

Migrate from Lucide to Phosphor Icons for enhanced visual hierarchy with weight variations. Create a more distinctive visual language that reflects the brand personality. Shared components first, then version-specific.

Enhancement: Icon weight variations, custom color schemes, contextual icons

Enhanced Visual Hierarchy

Improve typography, spacing, and layout composition. Create clearer information architecture and more engaging visual flow throughout the experience. Applies to all versions.

Focus: Typography scale, spacing system, layout composition

Implementation Strategy

Shared Components

These enhancements apply to all versions:

• components/ui/ - Icons, animations
• components/products/ - Product cards
• components/layouts/ - Layout components
• components/primitives/ - Base components

Version-Specific

Some enhancements are version-specific:

• V2: Refinement chat animations
• V3: Streaming progress indicators
• V4: Trend badge icons
• V1-V4: Version-specific hero images (optional)
