    "Warm off-white editorial paper field with a thin black perimeter rule and generous clean margins",
    "Five to eight oversized rounded cuboids arranged as one loose diagonal stepped cluster",
    "Oblique isometric projection with a visible top plane and two extruded side planes on most forms",
    "Black hairline outlines, crisp vector-like edges, rounded top corners, and no photographic realism",
    "Cobalt blue, vermilion red-orange, grass green, cadmium yellow, and warm cream used as discrete solid color masses",

  "visual_deconstruction": {
    "overall_style": "Contemporary Swiss-influenced editorial poster design fused with flat isometric object illustration and playful monumental typography.",
    "composition_logic": "A single diagonal cascade of large extruded forms dominates the inner field while small text bands cling to the perimeter, creating a two-speed reading system.",
    "subject_placement": "The block cluster occupies roughly two thirds of the canvas and steps through the center; open corners and margin corridors keep the composition breathable.",
    "camera_perspective": "Consistent three-quarter oblique projection shows top faces and two vertical sides with mild dimensional exaggeration but no lens effects.",
    "lighting": "Flat studio-like illumination; depth is encoded by darker side colors rather than highlights, reflections, or shadows.",
    "surface_language": "Smooth colored card or molded graphic solids with fine black outlines and a slight uncoated print texture.",
    "graphic_system": "Large diagonal words live on the forms; tiny headlines, dates, arrows, issue data, and notes form an independent editorial frame around them.",
    "mood": "Playful, urgent, intelligent, and slightly speculative, with the clarity of a design-school exhibition poster."
  },
  "composition": {
    "layout": "Build one loose stepped cluster of five to eight distinct extruded forms; preserve open paper around the cluster and reserve narrow perimeter zones for microcopy.",
    "scale": "Let one or two forms become dominant anchors while smaller forms bridge the diagonal rhythm; never tile the canvas uniformly.",
    "depth": "Use a shared oblique projection and visible darker side planes; overlap forms sparingly so every silhouette and label remains legible.",
    "vertical_behavior": "For 9:16, run the cluster from upper-left toward lower-right through the tall center, with rotated metadata on both long edges.",
    "horizontal_behavior": "For 16:9, spread the cluster in a shallow left-to-right arc, keeping large empty zones near two opposite corners for editorial text."
  },
  "typography": {
    "display_style": "Large plain neo-grotesk letters or one- to three-word labels in black, set with neutral weight and placed diagonally across colored top planes.",
    "microcopy_style": "Compact bold grotesk or monospaced publication text, tightly leading, sometimes stacked one word per line and sometimes rotated ninety degrees.",
    "hierarchy": "Use monumental on-object labels, small but readable border headlines, and tiny issue/date information as three sharply separated scales.",
    "placement": "Keep display type centered within top planes while microcopy hugs margins, corners, and thin perimeter rules.",
    "constraints": "Use only the new case wording; no source slogans, dates, credits, brand marks, signatures, watermarks, or dense paragraphs."
  },
  "color_palette": {
    "background": "warm paper white, approximately #F2F0E8",
    "primary": "cobalt blue #357FDD, vermilion #F0330B, grass green #04B92D, cadmium yellow #FFD30A",
    "secondary": "warm cream #EDE5CE and near-black #090909",
    "depth_behavior": "Each side plane shifts to a darker, slightly muted version of its top color; outlines remain near-black",
    "distribution": "Use three or four saturated colors as separated islands, one or two cream forms as breathing points, and black only for linework and typography"
  },
  "image_treatment": {
    "rendering": "Crisp flat vector-like editorial illustration with restrained dimensional extrusion; it must not look like glossy CGI or a photograph.",
    "texture": "Subtle uncoated stock grain and faint ink tooth visible only at close inspection; edges and type remain clean.",
    "lighting": "No directional highlights and no cast shadows; all dimensional information comes from top-versus-side color values.",
    "finish": "Print-ready poster appearance with a warm paper base, solid spot-color feeling, and thin consistent outlines."
  },
  "design_rules": [
    "Preserve the warm-white field, perimeter microcopy, and central stepped form cluster in every subject variation",
    "Keep a single consistent oblique isometric projection across all extruded forms",
    "Limit the palette to cobalt, vermilion, grass green, cadmium yellow, cream, and black",
    "Put one short readable black label on each major top plane and keep long copy away from the objects",
    "Use darker solid side planes rather than gradients, reflections, or cast shadows",
    "Change the literal object family and story in every case while retaining the same density and editorial hierarchy",
    "Adapt the cluster direction to the aspect ratio without simply cropping a vertical composition into a horizontal one"
  ],
  "do": [
    "Use five to eight chunky rounded extruded forms with clear top and side planes",
    "Combine oversized black labels with tiny rotated publication metadata",
    "Leave deliberate warm-white negative space around an asymmetrical diagonal cluster",
    "Keep outlines thin, black, consistent, and visibly hand-independent",
    "Make the horizontal and vertical versions compositionally native to their canvases"
  ],
  "avoid": [
    "Avoid keyboards, keycaps, computer controls, and the reference letter sequence",
    "Avoid glossy plastic CGI, realistic product photography, bevel highlights, ambient occlusion, and cast shadows",
    "Avoid gradients, translucent materials, neon glows, halftone explosions, stickers, collages, or complex scenery",
    "Avoid filling every gap; the poster needs controlled negative space and a sparse perimeter information system",
    "Avoid copied slogans, dates, credits, brand marks, watermarks, platform marks, and QR codes"
