    "[CORE] Use faded jade and turquoise grounds, hot vermilion type, near-black petrol shadows and butter-paper highlights as separated printing inks.",
    "[CORE] Model dimensional subjects with visible coarse halftone dots and compressed tonal bands instead of smooth digital shading.",
    "[CORE] Make oversized heavy CJK glyphs and the subject occlude one another while the exact primary title remains recognizable.",
    "[CORE] Keep nearly the entire sheet active with overlapping image, typography and marginal texture-text planes.",
    "[CORE] Preserve ink loss, scratched broken edges, modest plate misregistration and dense damaged caption blocks.",
    "[FLEX] Change silhouette, camera distance and perspective to express each new narrative.",
    "[FLEX] Arrange the title vertically, laterally, split or overprinted according to the subject and ratio.",
    "[FLEX] Vary dark and cream ink coverage while keeping the jade-vermilion opposition dominant."

    "system": "One dominant narrative form, enormous CJK type and marginal print matter interlock. The focal structure changes for every case.",

  "typography": {
    "primary": "Two-character title in massive heavy display CJK forms, blocky counters, short wedge-like terminals and distressed red edges. Readable despite deliberate partial occlusion.",
    "texture": "Dense fictional credit blocks, small vertical captions, digits and broken rules are graphic matter; they may repeat, fade or be unreadable. Avoid copied seals and recognizable marks.",

Moderate abrasion and ink loss on red glyphs, thin misregistration at selected edges and mottled aged-paper softness are intentional. Do not substitute uniformly sprayed noise or polished gradients.",
    "lighting": "Hard directional cream light and broad near-black shadows; retain tactile form under the print process."

  "design_rules": [
    "Maintain the jade-vermilion opposition and a small shared ink vocabulary.",

  "prompt_template": "Create a finished {ASPECT_RATIO} CJK speculative-fiction film poster.

Make both characters readable at viewing size despite partial overlap. Marginal vertical captions, fictional credits, numbers and broken rules are texture text: dense, distressed, partly unreadable graphic material.

        "DESIGN_DIRECTION": "Make the helmet a trapped pale moon against a heavy dark shoulder, with red characters partly behind the helmet and cutting across the lower collar. Portrait: towering helmet/profile close-up with descending title. Landscape: broad lateral helmet profile against two oversized offset title masses; crop the shoulder hard."

        "SUBJECT": "A gigantic ribbon-shaped oarfish with a dark ridged spine and pale bony head bends over a tiny working ferry carrying one hooded pilot on black water; uncanny scale, no gore.",
        "MAIN_TEXT": "夜渡",
        "DESIGN_DIRECTION": "Let the serpent thread between the red glyphs so their apertures feel like dangerous gates. Portrait: long descending S-curve, tiny ferry near a low crossing. Landscape: arch the head and serpentine body across the full width above the off-center boat; keep the background dense with inked current patterns."

        "MAIN_TEXT": "回声",
        "DESIGN_DIRECTION": "The black cone is a visual abyss: red title strokes overlap its rim and broken membranes while the title remains readable. Portrait: enormous diagonal mouth, barrel clipped by an edge. Landscape: stretch the bell and barrel sideways, place the two glyphs at competing scales across and behind the mouth. Keep it cinematic, never a clean product advertisement."

Portrait: plunge through a narrow vertical urban chasm. Landscape: compressed city wall across the frame cut by a diagonal elevated bridge. Make the tiny courier a barely spared light silhouette; the glyphs remain readable and visibly collide with concrete."
