  "style_fidelity_anchors": [
    "A warm cream or pale peach uncoated-paper field remains visible around the composition, especially across the upper margin.",
    "One enormous red ultra-condensed uppercase headline spans nearly the full canvas and is cropped by at least two edges.",
    "A single centered chest-up or waist-up editorial portrait interrupts the giant letters, with typography passing both behind and in front of the figure.",
    "The portrait is predominantly black and white with coarse halftone grain, photocopy texture, high contrast, and a frontal near-eye-level camera.",
    "Several hard-edged rectangular image fragments offset parts of the face or torso, producing a restrained analog cut-and-paste mosaic rather than a chaotic collage.",
    "Loose marker scribbles in electric cobalt blue and fluorescent acid green trace hair, facial contours, garment seams, or motion paths.",
    "Small red line-drawn facial or symbolic annotations add a third hand-marked layer without becoming polished vector illustration.",
    "The palette is tightly rationed: warm cream, vivid signal red, grayscale photography, electric blue, and acid green, with only occasional blue-violet blocks.",
    "A sparse top microcopy band and a bold lower supporting line create a clear editorial hierarchy around the dominant headline and portrait.",
    "The finish feels tactile, youth-culture editorial, post-punk, and handmade, combining controlled Swiss-like alignment with urgent notebook doodles.",
    "Lighting stays flat and graphic with no cinematic depth, glossy 3D effects, soft-focus atmosphere, or realistic scenic background.",
    "Despite the maximal scale of type, the scene remains limited to one person, one prop, a few collage blocks, and generous untouched paper space."
  ],
  "source_content_to_avoid": [
    "Do not recreate the same young male model, recognizable face, direct expression, hairstyle, head shape, or centered white-suit portrait.",
    "Do not use the original white lapel jacket, black shirt and tie combination, or matching body silhouette.",
    "Do not use MAXIMALISM, IN GRAPHIC DESIGN, BEGINNER GUIDE, ZEKA, ZEKAGRAPHIC.COM, or any visually similar wording.",
    "Do not reproduce the exact red headline letter arrangement, exact face-fragment offsets, eye-outline doodles, or tracing paths from the source.",
    "Do not reuse the original graphic-design guide premise, tutorial-cover hierarchy, or branded promotional story.",
    "Do not include the source logo, website, watermark, creator identity, signature, username, QR code, or platform mark.",
    "Do not imitate the source person's identity through a near-matching face, pose, expression, costume, or photographic crop.",
    "Do not duplicate the exact top-left mark, top-right web address, lower subtitle placement, or source color-block geometry."

  "visual_deconstruction": {
    "overall_style": "Experimental editorial portrait poster combining Swiss-informed type hierarchy, punk photocopy collage, fashion photography, and fluorescent marker intervention.",
    "composition_logic": "The canvas is organized as a collision of three large layers: oversized condensed red headline architecture, a centered monochrome portrait, and gestural drawn marks. Tiny header information and a lower support line stabilize the collision.",
    "subject_placement": "One frontal adult portrait is centered and enlarged from chest or waist upward. The head occupies the middle third while the torso exits the lower edge; giant letters flank and overlap the silhouette.",
    "camera_perspective": "Frontal near-eye-level editorial portrait with little lens distortion and flat shallow depth, treated more like printed source material than a cinematic scene.",
    "typography_behavior": "The main word uses tall, extremely narrow, slightly irregular uppercase lettering in saturated red. Secondary copy uses bold geometric sans capitals, while tiny header copy remains minimal and aligned to opposite corners.",
    "color_behavior": "Warm cream paper carries roughly half the field, red typography supplies the dominant chromatic mass, grayscale defines the portrait, and cobalt blue plus acid green appear only as urgent drawn accents.",
    "graphic_elements": "Offset rectangular portrait tiles, occasional blue-violet color blocks, rough hair hatching, contour tracings, eye or symbol outlines, short underlines, and gestural seam marks.",
    "texture_and_finish": "Visible halftone dots, photocopy grain, uneven ink density, crisp cut-paper rectangle edges, and dry marker strokes without destructive blur.",
    "lighting_and_mood": "Flat high-contrast monochrome portrait lighting produces a rebellious, cerebral, fashion-editorial mood with analog immediacy."
  },
  "composition": [
    "Reserve a clean cream band across the upper edge for two small invented microcopy elements placed far apart.",
    "Scale one short red headline until its condensed letters become vertical architecture, clipping it at the left, right, or lower canvas edges.",
    "Center one chest-up or waist-up portrait over the headline and allow selected red letter strokes to cross in front of the face or torso.",
    "Break the portrait into four to seven large rectangular tonal fragments, keeping the face readable and the collage geometry restrained.",
    "Concentrate blue scribbles around the hair or upper head and green contour marks around the jaw, shoulders, garment, or prop.",
    "Place one bold supporting line across the lower third, overlapping the figure but remaining distinct from the giant headline.",
    "For horizontal layouts, preserve the centered portrait and let the headline stretch laterally; do not turn the design into a multi-panel spread.",
    "Keep every composition to one person, one hero prop, one main headline, one support line, and sparse header microcopy."
  ],
  "typography": {
    "headline": "Use an invented one- or two-word headline in vivid red, all caps, extremely tall and narrow, with tight spacing and slightly organic poster-letter irregularity. Crop the letterforms aggressively at the edges.",
    "supporting_line": "Use a short invented phrase in bold red geometric sans capitals across the lower third, with a smaller secondary line beneath or tucked into the same band.",
    "microcopy": "Use only a few tiny invented uppercase or lowercase sans words at the top corners; they must read as editorial coordinates, never as a real brand or URL.",
    "layering": "Let type behave as spatial collage material: most giant letters sit behind the portrait, while one or two strokes cross selected photographic fragments.",
    "text_safety": "All wording must be invented and concise; omit real logos, websites, usernames, brands, publication titles, and copied source phrases."

    "behavior": "Use cream as exposed substrate, red as the sole large-area color, grayscale for the photographic subject, and blue plus green only as sparse marker energy. Avoid gradients and broad rainbow palettes."
  },
  "photographic_direction": {
    "rendering_mode": "Black-and-white editorial portrait photography translated through halftone screening and rectangular analog collage fragments.",
    "camera": "Frontal near-eye-level camera, medium portrait crop, centered gaze or clear forward-facing gesture, minimal lens distortion, and a simple shallow background.",
    "lighting": "Flat even studio illumination with strong tonal separation, matte skin, readable clothing planes, and no colored cinematic rim light.",
    "portrait_finish": "Preserve natural anatomy and an original identity; use coarse but controlled print grain, cut-paper blocks, and localized contrast shifts without destroying facial legibility.",
    "paper_finish": "Simulate uncoated cream stock, slightly imperfect ink transfer, dry marker texture, and subtle registration tension while keeping edges and text sharp."
  },
  "design_rules": [
    "Preserve the giant red condensed type, centered monochrome halftone portrait, rectangular photo offsets, blue and green scribbles, cream substrate, and sparse microcopy in every sample.",
    "Change the subject identity, action, prop, wardrobe, setting, headline, supporting line, and story premise for every case.",
    "Keep the portrait readable beneath the interventions; collage blocks may disrupt continuity but must not become random glitch noise.",
    "Use hand-drawn marks as structural annotations that follow hair, facial contours, clothing seams, or prop geometry.",
    "Maintain a flat printed-poster space rather than a photographic room, cinematic environment, glossy advertisement, or dimensional 3D set.",
    "Ration the palette so red remains dominant, grayscale remains photographic, and blue plus acid green remain narrow accents.",
    "Use invented copy only and keep the top band free of logos, websites, platform marks, QR codes, and creator identities."
  ],
  "do": [
    "Use one original adult with a clear editorial silhouette and a frontal chest-up or waist-up crop.",
    "Make one short invented red headline the largest visual object on the canvas.",
    "Combine four to seven rectangular tonal fragments with coarse halftone and clean cut-paper edges.",
    "Draw loose cobalt and acid-green annotations with dry marker texture and visibly human line variation.",
    "Leave enough cream paper visible that the red type and monochrome portrait can breathe."
  ],
  "avoid": [
    "The source male model, white suit, tie, hairstyle, face, pose, text, brand mark, website, tutorial premise, or exact collage geometry.",
    "Polished vector doodles, clean neon tubes, airbrushed graffiti, dense stickers, torn-paper scraps, or uncontrolled glitch fragmentation.",
    "Photoreal rooms, cinematic backgrounds, dramatic depth of field, colored rim lights, glossy 3D type, shadows that create dimensional lettering, or gradients.",
    "Multiple people, full crowds, product grids, magazine-cover clutter, retail labels, price badges, or complex scenic props.",
    "Watermarks, usernames, URLs, QR codes, creator marks, platform UI, copied publication names, or recognizable logos.",
    "Low-resolution output, muddy compression, excessive grain, face deformation, extra fingers, extra limbs, or illegible anatomy."

  "prompt_template": "Create a {ASPECT_RATIO} image in the Neon Scribble Editorial Poster visual style. Subject: {SUBJECT}. Action: {SUBJECT_ACTION}. Prop or product: {PRODUCT_OR_PROP}. Implied location: {LOCATION}. Sparse background elements: {BACKGROUND_ELEMENTS}. Main headline: {MAIN_TEXT}. Supporting text: {SECONDARY_TEXT}. Accent symbol: {ACCENT_SYMBOL}. Wardrobe and styling: {WARDROBE_STYLE}. Preserve these style fidelity anchors above all else: {STYLE_FIDELITY_ANCHORS}. Explicitly avoid this literal source content: {SOURCE_CONTENT_TO_AVOID}. Build the composition on warm cream uncoated paper with a quiet upper margin. Set one invented one- or two-word headline in vivid signal-red uppercase lettering that is extremely tall, narrow, tightly spaced, slightly irregular, nearly full-canvas, and aggressively cropped by the edges. Center one frontal chest-up or waist-up black-and-white editorial portrait over the letter architecture. Let most red letters sit behind the person while one or two strokes pass across selected portrait fragments. Divide parts of the portrait into four to seven hard-edged rectangular tiles with controlled changes in crop, contrast, halftone density, or a rare blue-violet tint; keep the face and anatomy readable. Add loose dry-marker scribbles in electric cobalt around the hair or upper head and fluorescent acid green along the jaw, shoulders, clothing seams, or prop. Add a few small red line-drawn annotations and the supplied accent symbol. Keep a sparse top microcopy band and place the supporting line in bold red geometric sans capitals across the lower third with a smaller invented line nearby. Use only warm cream, signal red, grayscale, cobalt blue, acid green, and a tiny amount of blue-violet. Apply flat even portrait light, coarse controlled halftone, photocopy grain, imperfect ink density, crisp cut-paper edges, and tactile marker strokes. The result must feel like a handmade post-punk fashion and culture poster with disciplined editorial alignment, not a scenic photograph, glossy ad, comic page, or digital glitch artwork. Use invented text only. Avoid logos, URLs, watermarks, usernames, QR codes, platform marks, copied identity marks, 3D type, gradients, cinematic lighting, multiple people, dense sticker clutter, destructive noise, blur, or malformed anatomy. Important content rule: match the style fidelity anchors first, then change the subject, action, prop, setting, wardrobe, text, and story premise.",
