Hologrid Tutorial UI
====================

12 hologram tutorial and onboarding markers for dark interfaces — abyss navy
with signal amber accents. SVG plus transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x.

Hologrid Tutorial UI is a set of 12 tutorial and onboarding markers drawn in
the hologram style, where a thin trace carries a wide halo, and most of the
frame is empty space. It contains four directional callout balloons, a solid
and a dashed highlight ring, a corner-bracket highlight box, two step
indicator states, a tap mark, a drag gesture trail and a skip strip.

Every other kit in this catalogue covers part of the screen. This one points
at it, and that inverts the rules: a highlight that fills its middle hides the
thing it is highlighting, and a callout that can only point one direction is
useless on three of the four screen edges.

The halo is a stack of strokes at falling opacity rather than a blur filter —
a filter is applied differently by some SVG rasterisers and smears at 4x. The
trace is deliberately thin: a projected interface reads as light, and a heavy
line reads as paint.

Inside that style this is the Hologrid reading of it: a dark interface on a
abyss navy palette with signal amber accents, built around a single bordered
frame, square-cornered buttons at 132x38, tick-marked bars divided into 20
segments, and outlined icons on a 24px grid. Those measurements are why two
families can share an art style without being interchangeable: the style
decides how an edge is drawn, the numbers decide what the interface is for.

The callout ships with the tail on each of the four sides as separate sprites
rather than one balloon to rotate, because rotating it throws the shading to
the wrong side and a tutorial balloon is used at all four screen edges in the
same session. The highlight ring and box are hollow, stroke only and no fill,
so whatever is underneath stays fully visible, which is the entire point. The
step dots are countable so a player can see how much of the tutorial is left,
which is the one thing that keeps them pressing next.

Every sprite ships as an editable SVG and as transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x,
so you can drop the PNGs straight into an engine or open the vector and change
a colour. Built to the same measurements as the rest of the Hologrid family,
which means this kit and the Hologrid panel kit line up without either being
resized. A good fit for sci-fi projections, scanners and near-future overlays.

HOW TO USE

  - Pick the callout by which edge it sits against rather than rotating one
    sprite; the tail files are drawn so their shading stays consistent across
    all four.
  - Place the highlight ring or box over your target with nothing drawn inside
    it. A scrim belongs behind the highlight, not within it.
  - Use the dashed ring for something the player should press and the solid
    ring for something they should look at, and keep that distinction for the
    whole tutorial.
  - Drive the step dots from your real step count. A tutorial with a hidden
    length is the one players skip.
