💚 Green Brand Identity
Consistent green color across all content creates instant association. Viewers scrolling through their feed spot Dream's thumbnails before reading any text.
🎮 Game-First Composition
Minecraft environments provide dramatic backdrops — burning worlds, massive builds, chase scenes — while the avatar remains the focal point.

Minimal text, clean compositions, strong focus. The simplicity is intentional — fewer elements means faster recognition in crowded feeds.
