David decided: Rejected magazine masthead framing for granular profiles
David pushed back on an editorial-style masthead concept, asserting that granular profiles are professional credentials, not casual publications.
When one of the design agents proposed a magazine-style masthead for the profile page — "GRANULAR · ISSUE №47 · MAY MMXXVI" — David rejected it on product-register grounds.
no. someones granular profile is goign to be used when they send in their cv, when theyre trying to get a job. its not a casual magazine thing like snitch
This was a clear delineation between the two products: Snitch is the casual AI-monologue paper; granular is the serious, credibility-oriented work record. David enforced the register distinction explicitly and redirected the design toward thread-grouped, professional presentation.
