  "style_fidelity_anchors": [
    "[CORE] A close low wide-angle photograph puts one relevant equipment part or limb near the lens and a large connected athlete behind it; visible ground/water and natural displaced particles establish force and depth, not a floating sky-only cutout.",
    "[CORE] Enormous warm-cream ultra-condensed uppercase grotesk type acts as the background graphic plane, extending through much of the canvas and occluded by the photographed body/equipment. Show enough of each word to identify it; deliberate outer-edge bleed is possible but do not lose whole letters.",
    "[CORE] Cool cobalt or cyan-blue environmental field contrasts with warm cream type, pale neutral/dark navy sportswear, and one restrained warm physical accent. Hard daylight and believable shaded undersides give the action weight.",
    "[CORE] Compact cream editorial annotations, a large small-area issue number and thin rules make a restrained edge information system; keep it subordinate and integrated with the photo, never a large detached footer panel.",
    "[FLEX] Let the activity decide the leading near object, motion axis, horizon and type line breaks; choose distinct arcs, thrusts or lateral sweeps rather than repeat the source bat swing.",
    "[FLEX] Subject scale, camera roll, title placement and crop respond to the ratio. Sky gaps and ground detail support the action; avoid unused lower bands, giant isolated text columns or three flat horizontal tiers."

  "visual_deconstruction": {
    "observation": "Bat thrusts toward lower-left lens, batter occupies center-right, dirt rises around near foot. Giant cream words extend behind body and through blue sky; a narrow upper-right annotation stack and compact ruled bottom rail provide editorial detail.",
    "transfer": "Retain interlocked photo/megatype depth, material force and compact information rhythm. Change activity and viewpoint; do not reduce this to sky plus top heading or copy bat silhouette."

  "composition": {
    "portrait": "A connected near-object-to-body trajectory spans the canvas; backdrop lettering fills around and behind it. Compact edge information shares the ground plane without creating an empty band.",

  "typography": {
    "headline": "Warm cream extra-bold ultra-condensed upright uppercase, long vertical strokes, tight spacing, large enough to act as backdrop; whole-word legibility survives partial body overlap.",

  },
  "color_palette": {
    "system": "Cobalt/cyan environment, warm pale cream typography, white/navy sports materials, modest rust-orange or amber physical accents; no lime graphics."

  "image_treatment": {
    "texture": "Fine photographic grain, true textile/metal/ground detail and localized dust or spray from action. Faint cream ink patina allowed; no yellowed paper wash, heavy distress, oversharpening or fake grit over faces.",
    "light": "Hard natural daylight with real contrast, subtle near-lens motion softness and coherent contact shadows."

  "design_rules": [
    "Integrate megatype behind athlete instead of separating title and photo.",
    "Keep equipment and anatomy physically connected under foreshortening.",
    "Use real action-driven particles only where material is disturbed.",
    "Keep edge information legible but subordinate to the main photographic mass.",
    "Review thumbnail balance and useful negative space as well as text and anatomy."

  "do": [
    "Use each action to determine composition.",
    "Preserve blue/cream contrast and material depth.",
    "Adapt both ratios independently with compact information rails."

  "avoid": [
    "Baseball-swing tracing or generic sky-only sports portraits.",
    "Detached text columns, empty lower-third sky and decorative fill.",
    "Unreadable headline, invented brands, excessive copy or impossible equipment."

  "negative_prompt": "No logos, watermark, celebrity likeness, baseball uniform, bat, original slogan, neon lime, starburst, decorative stars, detached limbs, extra fingers, disconnected equipment, illegible words, old-paper tint, giant footer box.",
  "prompt_template": "Create one full-bleed photographic editorial sports poster in {ASPECT_RATIO}. {STYLE_FIDELITY_ANCHORS} Scene: {SUBJECT}. Exact main words: \"{MAIN_TEXT}\". Exact side annotation: \"{SIDE_TEXT}\". Exact footer copy: \"{FOOTER_TEXT}\". Portrait art direction: {DIRECTION}. For landscape instead: {WIDE_DIRECTION}. Use short information copy only as specified, arranging footer items into compact rule-divided groups. Warm cream condensed type behind the large athlete and near equipment, cool blue environmental depth, physically plausible action and hard daylight.
