Brand Mood & Style Guide: Desk Hours
Niche: Weekly deep-dives on creator operations for people who already ship every week · Platforms: YouTube
Colour Palette
- Primary: #2F4F7F - Dominant background for banners and thumbnails
- Secondary: #6495ED - Accent use for text, dividers, and small shapes

- Neutral: #F7F7F7 - Base tone behind everything for balance
This palette combines professional blues with a vibrant, energetic orange accent, evoking a sense of calm expertise and technical warmth that fits perfectly with the creator operations niche and the vibe words "calm, technical, warm". The blues also bring a trustworthy, reliable feel that resonates with weekly deep-dive content.
Mood & Tone
The overall mood should be calm and informative, with an emphasis on showcasing the technical aspects of creator operations. Lighting should be soft and natural, composition should be minimal to highlight the key points, and texture should lean towards a clean, digital feel to reflect the technical nature of the content.
Typography Treatment
- Primary treatment: Bold sans, sentence case, for titles and headings
- Generated text is safe for: Background typographic texture, abstract lettering used as a design element
- Add manually instead: Channel name, tagline, panel labels, schedule to ensure legibility and on-brand appearance

Questions
What is a credit?
The unit a run is priced in. Each app has a fixed price in credits, shown on its Generate button, and a run costs exactly that. Nothing is metered by length or time.
Am I charged if a run fails?
No. Starting a run holds the credits rather than spending them. The hold becomes a charge only when the run succeeds; a failed or cancelled run releases it.
Can I edit the brief and run it again?
Yes. Change any input and press Generate again, or open an earlier run and choose Adjust and run again to start from a copy of its brief. Uploaded files need attaching again. Each run is new and costs the applet's price; the earlier run stays as it was.
Where are my results kept?
Every run you start is listed under Your runs at /create/runs. Each one opens its own page, where you can read, copy and download the files it produced.
