    "White poster canvas remains visible around and between layered photographic panels rather than becoming a full-bleed single photo.",
    "The scene is assembled from staggered rectangular photo tiles with slight offsets, overlaps, and uneven collage edges.",
    "A single realistic action subject sits near the center and feels cut into or lifted from the photo-panel stack.",
    "The action is frozen at a decisive airborne, twisting, leaning, or reaching moment with a clear diagonal line of movement.",
    "Large black extra-condensed uppercase typography sits in the upper-left zone, stacked in two or three compact lines.",
    "Loose black hand-drawn ink speed marks arc around the subject and sweep in from the frame edges with visible brush variation.",
    "Thin monochrome line-art architecture, scaffolding, railings, or city silhouettes sits behind the photo subject as a graphic overlay.",
    "Realistic daylight photography provides the base, while the drawn marks stay flat black and visibly hand-rendered.",
    "Color is restrained: mostly sky blue, concrete gray, field or street green, white, black, and one saturated wardrobe or prop accent.",
    "The composition feels commercial, youthful, athletic, and editorial without using real logos, team marks, or platform identifiers.",
    "The graphic density is energetic but still sparse enough that white negative space remains a major part of the design.",
    "Motion overlays behave like inked annotation and speed grammar, not comic halftone, stickers, neon trails, or 3D effects."

  "visual_deconstruction": {
    "overall_style_category": "Action editorial photo collage with graphic ink annotation and bold poster typography.",
    "composition_logic": "The poster is a white canvas carrying a broken horizontal stack of rectangular photo fragments; the subject sits inside the stack while hand-drawn black marks cross over both photo and white space.",
    "subject_placement": "The subject is central, medium-large, and isolated by motion, usually crossing the panels diagonally instead of standing straight.",
    "camera_perspective": "Realistic outdoor daylight photography, mid-to-low perspective, enough environmental width to show ground, sky, and background architecture.",
    "typography_system": "Black compressed all-caps headline type, heavy and narrow, locked to the top-left corner with tight leading and rough editorial poster force.",
    "graphic_elements": "Black ink streaks, brush slashes, sketched object echoes, thin city/scaffold linework, and white speed lines that slice across the panels.",
    "texture_and_finish": "Clean digital photo collage with slightly irregular paper-like panel layering and dry-brush ink edges; no aged paper, heavy grunge, or halftone fields.",
    "mood": "Youthful, assertive, fast, urban, and campaign-like while staying unbranded."

  "composition": {
    "canvas": "Use the requested {ASPECT_RATIO} frame as a white poster surface, not a bordered card.",
    "photo_panels": "Build the scene from overlapping rectangular photo panels with staggered left and right edges, slight rotations, and visible white gaps.",
    "subject_layer": "Place one realistic action subject near center, crossing the photo-panel stack and partially overlapping drawn marks.",
    "motion_layer": "Add black brush-speed arcs, scratch strokes, and thin white slash lines that point through the movement path.",
    "type_layer": "Keep the main headline in the upper-left zone, black, condensed, stacked, and separated from the subject by white space.",
    "background_layer": "Use faint monochrome line drawings of scaffolding, railings, skyline, racks, or structures behind the subject inside the photo area."
  },
  "typography": {
    "display": "Tall condensed uppercase sans-serif, black, bold, narrow, with tight leading and a slightly rough poster-print edge.",
    "placement": "Upper-left corner or upper-left vertical band, stacked in two or three lines, never centered like a title card.",
    "scale": "Large enough to anchor the poster but smaller than the full collage stack; it should not cover the subject.",
    "secondary": "Small sparse uppercase notes may appear as tiny editorial texture near panel edges, but the style should not become text-heavy.",
    "text_behavior": "Words should feel like campaign commands or active verbs, short and punchy."

    "No comic halftone, sticker pack, neon cyber trails, painterly illustration, vector-only substitute, or 3D render.",
