Generate a strongly narrative-driven social media cover on any given subject: the image must be governed by one dominant unified colour field and that dominant colour is drawn from the subject's own era material industry region and mood occupying the vast majority of the background like a thick layer of aged paper weathered wall painted surface or printed base. The title uses a high-contrast off-white grey-white pale metallic or subject-derived bright light tone carrying subtle yellowing wear chalk loss and paper-pulp grain. The deepest structure uses only near-ink-black scorched brown or the subject's own dark tones to press down shadows illustration silhouettes and spatial fractures. Avoid polychrome entirely — the palette should read as three or four light-and-dark roles grown from a single colour system: the large field carries mood the pale letterforms carry impact the dark tones carry weight and a small amount of accent appears only where the eye should land first. The title typography is the primary structure of the image and must carry the density of stele carving ink rubbings woodblock printing old newspaper mastheads and Republic-era posters blended together: strokes are broad and forceful horizontals and verticals carry real weight and every turning point has a chisel-cut hardness with irregular notches. Parts of the letterforms should show a Song-dynasty skeleton or the sharp finishing strokes of carved type but must never degenerate into a modern sans-serif a geometric round face computerised display lettering or clean calligraphic script. A few key characters should be enormous occupying space like stone blocks or wall sections with surface abrasion broken ink misregistered printing fibre scratches and coarse grain across the letter faces; secondary text clusters around them to build a rhythm of density and sparsity rather than filling the space evenly. The illustration follows naturally from the subject with no fixed genre preset — imagery should emerge from the subject's own conflicts identity era material and spirit attaching to slipping into occluding or floating around the giant letterforms as though printed from the same base plate rather than pasted on afterwards as an explanatory image. Do not spell everything out; leave silence occlusion and incompletely developed areas. The first read must be the pressure of giant aged letterforms inside a single dominant colour; only on the second read does the viewer pick up the story pressure and lingering mood of the subject illustration growing inside and around the type.

Character Performance Analysis

Note: typography logic is the priority — all text must stay fast to read and the type must be large.

Generate a top-down street-hustle contrast poster on a given subject: the camera looks straight down and ground textures plus pedestrian movement form a greyscale background. The main subject sits at the core of the frame — sharp still holding a formal or composed posture — while surrounding people or objects carry obvious motion blur. An oversized subject-derived high-contrast title spans above or behind the main subject its letterforms compressed and heavy creating a flat conflict with the ground's perspective. The colour relationship stays as a monochrome street-photography base plus a single high-contrast title and a small amount of high-key secondary copy; the mood is cold rebellious and difference-driven. The layout should make the subject feel surrounded by the flow of the world without being swallowed by it. Failure symptoms: a loss of top-down order or the high-contrast title degrading into an ordinary banner.

Storefront promotion: vertical looking down at a commercial street entrance crowds passing in front of a hair salon sign to form blurred bands one adult customer wearing a black barber cape standing at the centre with a clearly readable hairstyle silhouette.
Main text: headline reads "Get a new haircut today" small text reads "Pre-cut consultation free / Weekdays 12:00-18:00 / Photograph your side profile before we start".
Actual use: suited to WeChat Moments or Dianping listings — the subject needs to be attention-grabbing while staying within public advertising standards.

Generate a strongly graphic poster on a given subject: the main space is formed by a thick flat plane with realistic fibre texture as though precisely folded or sliced opening at the centre into a sharp diamond-shaped aperture. Inside the aperture the main subject appears shot from an extremely low angle looking up with foreground objects massively enlarged and cropped by the frame edge; the subject's face and hands sit deep within the opening creating a forced near-to-far perspective pressure and an outward bursting tension. The material plane outside the aperture carries the layout structure with fold lines shadows and paper-cloth texture clearly visible. Place an oversized heavy black title at the bottom its letterforms dense and tight with slight perspective distortion as though struck by hard light or printed onto the two folded faces naturally split by the fold line at the centre; keep the text edges sharp allowing local cropping while retaining strong recognisability. Extract colour from the subject's own material environment and mood preserving the relationship between a large warm or neutral tactile base a high-key clear colour field inside the aperture clean highlights on the subject a small amount of clearly defined dark areas and high-contrast information text. The whole reads bright clean and airy with saturation concentrated in the emotional colour inside the aperture and quieter structural colour outside; keep the light-and-dark layering clear and avoid muddy aged treatment. Light should be hard like direct sunlight producing crisp edges cast shadows and fold depth so the subject figure or object feels physically real while being converted by the geometric layout and giant type into a powerful visual declaration.

Fan support use: vertical a music festival fan-support graphic referencing the stage presence of a mature male singer without pointing to any real performer; shoot up from the crowd as the singer reaches a hand toward the lens with microphone and fingers heavily enlarged.
Text to include: bottom headline "Tonight hand the voice to him" small text "LIVE STAGE / 20:30 / See you at the fan zone".
Event cues: glow sticks wristbands and a handwritten support card may appear; the atmosphere is lively but stays within the bounds of a public event.

Generate a retro print-feel portrait poster on a given subject: the main subject is a frontal portrait with the face treated in coarse halftone dots newspaper duotone and photocopy grain; the background is filled with vertical small text or narrow column information and a massive heavy title presses down on the top edge. The eyes are covered by two subject-derived high-saturation circular lenses or marks and tiny graphic symbols can hide inside the circles becoming the only bright focal point in the image. The overall structure uses monochrome tonal printing as its skeleton; the accent colour is minimal and pure its area fixed at the eyes and small decorative elements and the mood is odd professional and underground-magazine in feel. Text may mix vertical and horizontal setting but must retain editorial order with sidebars footnotes and headline interlocking. The key is not to let the figure become an ordinary colour portrait — identifiability comes from the combination of halftone dots and subject-derived high-emotion eye symbols.

New product poster: an independent coffee shop launching "Orange Peel Cold Brew" vertical the figure is a barista in frontal portrait and the eye discs look like two orange-peel stickers.
Text to include: top reads "Drinking it cold today" sidebar reads "Orange Peel Cold Brew 26 yuan / Second cup half price after 2pm / This week only".
Placement: used as a Xiaohongshu cover and a counter standee reading overall like a shop notice from an old magazine.

Generate a high-key clean-ground street-graffiti portrait visual on a given subject: the main figure full body or most of the body stands in a clean high-key light field mixing real photography or a realistic figure with hand-drawn deep-value heavy lines subject-derived high-emotion arrows cross marks symbols handwritten short phrases and naive little doodles. The figure's clothing retains subject-specific material detail while the surrounding graffiti acts like temporary emotional annotation — wrapping the body and pressing onto local areas creating the effect of "the photographed subject hijacked by draft lines". Extract colour from the subject as roles: light ground subject structure information text accent points and texture shadows — mapping onto a light base a low-key subject in the subject colour a small amount of subject-derived high-emotion warning lines and a little subject-toned handwriting in a cool key. Bright but not sterile; dangerous playful and live in a way that feels like work made on the spot. Text and lines must vary in weight show wrist movement and misalignment and must not resolve into tidy illustration stickers.

Store standee: vertical an adult barber holding clippers and standing before a mirror with the cape and tool trolley keeping realistic texture.
Text that must be legible: "Men's quick cut 39" with small text beside it "Weekdays 11:00-16:00 / Walk-ins welcome no membership needed".
Image requirement: scissor symbols short hair strands circled price annotations and arrows press in near the figure's shoulders like a hand-drawn recommendation the barber added to the photo.

Generate a high-pressure magazine-collage image on any subject: the subject occupies the visual centre as a close main form with hard-cut masking and the outside retains thick irregular bright contour blocks so the subject appears roughly snipped out and pressed onto a dark textured base. The background uses crumpled creased and worn dark materials as a structural field providing coarse pressure but the dark areas must stay clear and layered never turning grey or dirty. Overlay multiple sets of diagonal colour blocks paper labels and extra-bold black-and-white headline type; the text intrudes from the edges like stickers occluding parts of the subject and creating a colliding reading path. Set type sizes vary extremely: a few huge short words carry the first-read impact while mid and small information text clings to the edges for magazine annotation; close the bottom with a strong-colour information bar containing a reduced subject image or symbol plus short column text forming an exhibition-poster closure. Optionally add a semi-transparent geometric symbol derived from the subject's semantics over a key area of the subject as a provocative visual mark. Extract and assign roles from the subject's own material mood and cultural signals: a large dark texture supports the background high-key contour blocks separate the subject structural text builds hard black-and-white contrast and a small amount of saturated subject colour is used for diagonal labels the bottom bar and symbol accents. Keep the mood bright clean intense and rebellious with clear value steps and crisp boundaries; bright colour areas are restrained in area but sharp in placement giving the speed and pressure of street cut-outs pop magazines and end-of-the-world party aesthetics.

Vendor need: vertical a new-item graphic for a night-market fried chicken stall. The centre is not the food alone but a close view of an adult vendor in gloves presenting a box of hot chicken bites with the person and food collaged together into the centre.
Selling information: main title "Extra spicy tonight" side text "New item trial / Spicy chicken bites 18 yuan / Buy two boxes get a sour plum drink" bottom bar with a small chicken-bite symbol and stall number "B-17".
Real texture: let greaseproof paper bags price tags handwritten menus and disposable gloves enter the collage with colour following chilli red and the warm light of the stall lamps — do not add an extra style on top.

Generate a bright clear commercial information visual on any subject: reserve a large breathing area at the top with an extremely large subject wordmark in Chinese as the first visual with open letter spacing and restrained strokes and a small amount of foreign-language text or a subtitle embedded between the main characters to create slight pauses. Below place two subject carriers as the second visual — the left one steadier and more complete the right one more transparent or with internal layering; the subject appears wrapped in soft light standing naturally on a pale supporting surface. Materials cut faces crumbs symbols or small props derived from the subject appear only at the bottom edge and at the subject's feet indicating scale texture and contents without competing with the main form. The information layer consists of small vertical and horizontal text small circular price marks and short explanatory lines distributed around the subject with a calm tone and ample whitespace forming a quiet annotation rather than a crowded selling point. Extract colour from the subject's own material seasonal mood and brand semantics preserving a large high-key clean base mid-saturation gradients on the subject a small amount of clear accent low-contrast shadows and clear information tones. Overall it reads bright light clear and clean with transparent layering and airiness; texture serves only as fine paper grain or matte particles and must not make the image grey dirty or dated. Light is soft and even edges melt slightly into the background and the reading order falls clearly on the main headline subject price and detail copy — a light fresh restrained commercial texture.

a cover for a bookstore community long-image post where the subject is two sets of translucent sticky notes and pale bookmarks — the left set neatly stacked the right set showing paper layering and semi-transparent tabs.
Text arrangement: main title "Save a page for summer" with "Notes for Reading" embedded in the middle small text "Spend 68 get a set" and "This weekend only".
Bottom cues: pencil shavings page corners and a small round sticker with the circle reading "Free gift".

Generate a bright clear commercial advertising image on any refreshing drink subject: the core visual is a close-up enlarged transparent cold-drink main form holding the subject drink ice condensation and semi-transparent liquid layers rising from the bottom or middle to carry the greatest visual weight. Above let the subject ingredient or symbol be cropped into the background at monumental scale like a glowing canopy creating a reading path of large cut face first then the iced drink body then the miniature figures. Attach a curled decorative band or sheet-like appendage derived from the subject material to the main form's edge creating movement and a recognition point. Place relaxed miniature figures resting on the ice the glass rim and subject slices like scale markers inside the drink's world; the figures are tiny but their poses read clearly adding summer playfulness. Place a heavy sans-serif title price and short selling copy in the left or empty area with letterforms thick and rounded wide spacing and clear hierarchy; the text only carries information rhythm and does not compete with the main visual. Extract colour from the drink's ingredients flavour season and brand mood mapping onto a large high-key light base a transparent glowing subject colour a small amount of darker information tone and local clear accents; keep the relationship bright light clear and clean with distinct value steps. Saturation is fresh but never muddy and shadows stay clean and airy. The overall texture combines realistic advertising photography with miniature scene collage: glass ice liquid pulp or subject materials must all show wet highlights tiny bubbles condensation texture and clear edges with a soft translucent background — avoid generic beverage still life or cluttered summer illustration.

Fan support vertical: vertical passion fruit sparkling drink theme suitable for posting to WeChat Moments and fan groups on a music festival day.
Image content: a giant passion fruit cut face at the top; a transparent glass with ice seeds bubbles and golden drink; a curled strip of fruit shell along the side of the glass.
Text in image: "SUMMER LIVE" "See you tonight" subtitle "20:00 meet at the main stage".
Crowd detail: a few adult miniature spectators stand on the ice and glass rim holding small light signs; lively but clean and fresh.

Transform a user-supplied birthday photo of a person into a refined commemorative cover visual preserving the person's real facial features age and bearing hairstyle main clothing characteristics and natural expression placing them seated or leaning within a dimensional wall recess formed by a giant age numeral. The age numeral is the first visual anchor of the image like a solid sculptural space cut cleanly from a pale wall with clear interior depth soft shadows and fine plaster texture. The person's body makes real contact with the numeral's edges with hands feet or clothing slightly crossing the recess boundary so the number is at once background seat and stage. The interior of the numeral is filled with birthday-derived celebratory objects keeping a full but uncluttered rhythm; rounded balloons provide volume and a sense of playfulness while florals or thematic decorations supply detail density and ceremony clustering and dispersing along the numeral's curve to reveal enough wall whitespace. Extract colour from the person's photo the birthday theme season and blessing mood mapping onto a large bright clean base a clear dominant subject colour a small amount of deeper structural tone and small-area bright accents; keep the whole high-key clear soft and lively avoiding grey-mud vintage yellowing or dull filters. Light enters like warm natural daylight from the front side; skin stays realistically bright and the numeral's interior walls and decorations cast slight shadows giving the image air and a tactile dimensional thickness. Text appears as a quiet restrained information layer: a high-contrast elegant serif wordmark carries the name accompanied by wide-tracked small capitals for Chapter the age numeral and a short birthday wish. Keep text clearly subordinate to the numeral body never occluding the face or core pose; the overall effect is a premium commemorative cover made for the day of the birthday.

This subject: Trump at 80

Generate a cinematic visual with a double-exposure relationship on any subject: the image first places a monumental close-range main form of the subject against the background boldly cropped so that only the texture contour or gaze point carrying the most emotion is revealed making it feel like a huge presence from memory pressing down behind the whole frame. In the foreground place a small-scale but clearly legible subject carrier positioned near the lower visual centre of gravity keeping a complete contour and definite posture creating tension of near and far large and small silence and action against the background giant. Treat the background main form as a low-saturation soft-fogged grainy image with edges naturally dissolving retaining skin-like or material-like fine greyscale slight vignetting and film noise. The foreground subject carrier uses a highly recognisable accent colour drawn from the subject's own material mood and narrative — small in area but concentrated acting as the only strong emotional colour block. The colour system preserves the relationship between a large calm neutral base clear light-dark layering low-saturation supporting tones and small areas of bright accent; the overall mood is restrained intimate slightly pressured yet clean and translucent with shadows clear rather than muddy and grain reading as film texture rather than dirt. Text acts as part of the image structure rather than a caption: distribute small information type with sparse letter spacing horizontally and overlay a main title at the centre with more handwritten trace or calligraphic speed so the text passes between foreground and background forming a pause that is both covered by memory and seen again. Avoid busy narrative and complex scenes; preserve large quiet whitespace a single strong focal point a layered reading path and a suspenseful lingering quality like a film title card.

Launch teaser: vertical the background is an extreme close crop of a phone camera module its glass reflection like a silent eye; in the lower foreground a complete phone stands against a table edge.
Screen copy: main title "Seeing the edge of the night" small text "Launch livestream / June 18 20:00 / Reminder notifications on".
Product detail: only a cool white indicator light beside the power button should be lit; keep the table free of extra accessories.
