Paper HUD Frames
================

10 flat heads-up display frames for light interfaces — warm paper with rust
red accents. SVG plus transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x.

Paper HUD Frames is a set of 10 heads-up display frames drawn in the flat
style, where there are no outlines and no shading at all. It contains a
minimap frame with a north marker, a character portrait frame, a compass
strip, three crosshair reticles, an objective waypoint marker and a quest
tracker plate.

These are the pieces that stay on screen the whole time a game is being
played, which makes them the hardest to get right: every one of them has to be
readable over arbitrary game art without covering the middle of the screen.

Depth comes only from a layered soft shadow — three stacked passes rather than
a blur filter, because some SVG rasterisers scale a blur wrongly and the 4x
PNG comes out as a smear. Everything else is one solid colour.

Inside that style this is the Paper reading of it: a light interface on a warm
paper palette with rust red accents, built around a single bordered frame,
fully rounded pill buttons at 140x44, banded bars divided into 10 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 quest plate marks a completed objective with a filled box and a
struck-through line rather than by dimming it, so the tracker stays legible
against a bright sky. The compass ticks alternate major and minor so a heading
can be read at a glance rather than counted.

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 Paper family,
which means this kit and the Paper panel kit line up without either being
resized. A good fit for minimal and mobile interfaces.

HOW TO USE

  - Anchor the minimap frame to a screen corner and render your map texture
    into the recessed area; the north marker is part of the frame so it stays
    fixed while the map rotates.
  - Draw the objective marker in screen space clamped to the viewport edge,
    not in world space, or it vanishes the moment the target is off camera.
  - Pick one reticle and keep it — the three are alternatives for different
    weapon feels, not a set to mix within one game.
