20- Simple stick-figure characters and cartoon icons to humanize concepts
21- Doodle decorations: small stars, underlines, spirals, sparkles

23- Dashed borders for secondary or contained zones
24- Small icon doodles (clipboard, lock, checkmark, lightbulb) to reinforce concepts
25- Bold centered quote or takeaway at the bottom
26- Slight hand-drawn wobble on all lines and shapes

43## Style Enforcement
44

46- Each information zone uses a distinct macaron color block
47- Maintain consistent wobble quality across all shapes and lines
48- Include at least one simple cartoon character or stick figure
49- Generous white space between zones — each zone should breathe
50- Maximum 4 macaron colors per infographic
51 
52## Avoid
53 
54- Perfect geometric shapes or straight lines
55- Photorealistic elements or stock illustration style
56- Pure white backgrounds
57- Flat vector icons or digital-precision graphics
58- Overcrowded layouts — let zones breathe
59- Corporate or clinical aesthetic
