## Before you start
Ask what the user's product, audience, and brand are, then apply the principles below to create an original header for that product.

Build a two-level responsive header: a slim announcement strip followed by a calm navigation row. Keep the announcement visually distinct with a near-black background (#171713), tiny centered text, a small circular accent badge, and one highlighted link. Place the main navigation on a warm off-white canvas (#f4eee2), with a compact brand mark on the left, understated small links with generous horizontal spacing, and a dark rounded action button on the right. Use a restrained serif or display face only for the brand if appropriate, and a neutral sans-serif for utility text. Keep the header height compact, align everything to a centered max-width container, and use 18–24px side padding. Dropdown links should show subtle chevrons and reveal menus on hover/focus; collapse to a menu button on narrow screens.

Never: copy the reference's logos, product names, copy, illustrations, or imagery.
