The attached photograph is a REAL-WORLD FORM REFERENCE for the kind of
structure described above. Build that structure the way the photograph
shows it: the same kind of construction, the same proportions and
materials, the same fittings and everyday details.

ANYTHING BEARING LETTERING OR A MARK IS SOMETHING PEOPLE MADE. It exists
only on a built structure, an installed fixture or a placed object. If
the subject here is a natural feature — rock, ground, water, vegetation
— it carries none, nothing is fixed to it, and you add no made object to
carry any. Nothing in this note asks you to put one there.

Where the subject IS something people built and the photograph shows it
carrying lettering or marks, follow what the photograph shows as closely
as you follow its materials: how many such surfaces there are and where
each one sits, how they differ in size, what parts each is divided into
and in what order those run across it, which colours divide them and how
strongly, what is lit, and what each one displays besides a name. These
belong to how the place looks exactly as its walls do — a place reduced
to plain characters on a blank band does not resemble the photograph at
all. Only the wording itself comes from the description above, never
from the photograph.

★ TAKE FORM ONLY — NEVER LAYOUT. The photograph was taken at ANOTHER
place, where this kind of structure happens to stand in some other
arrangement, under some other light. Never copy its camera angle, its
framing, its weather, its time of day, its surroundings, or anything else
standing in it. Where this structure sits, what lies around it and how it
is framed are settled by the description and the context above, and they
win over the photograph every time.
