Finding styles
Over 9,000 styles is a lot to scroll. Start from what you already have in mind — a look, a word, or nothing yet — and the Library narrows itself to a few hundred, then to the one.
I know the look I want
Open Filters in the Library’s top line (or press Shift + F). Each column is one side of a look — mood, colour, light, technique; pick words in any of them and the Library keeps only the styles that carry all of them. Say you want dark scenes with bright colour in them: Dark and Vivid.
I know the colours
Open Colours, beside Filters (or press Shift + C). Pick as many colours as you like: each one keeps only the styles that have it too, and a swatch that would leave nothing goes dim. Black and vivid red together leave 250 styles; add dark blue and 23 are left.
I know a name or a word
Type it into the search at the top (or press / from anywhere). Search reads names — an artist, a film, a movement — and also the words for what each style’s pictures show and how they look. So a search for medieval finds 97 styles — not only the ones with the word in their name, but every style whose pictures look medieval.
I want ideas
Nothing in mind yet? Wander. Four other ways into the Library — each a smaller, chosen window into it.
