Continuous wall reading

Band by Band

A content model for stories that move sideways, not inward.

1

Sequence guides memory

Each panel hands the eye to the next, keeping the lesson intact across one long wall.

2

Flat color holds attention

Gold ochre and vermilion stay matte, so hierarchy comes from placement and contour.

3

Borders keep the vow

White-lime dots mark the register edges, giving dense narrative a measured breath.

4

Outlines carry the voice

Lamp-black contours stay heavy enough for distance, procession, and candlelight.
