Pink shaved-ice fashion advertisement integrating a live-action model with flat editorial characters and illustrated props

Prompt

Theme | {{shaved ice}}
Main color | {{pink}}

Using the specified theme and main color, generate one portrait 4:5 advertising visual that integrates a live-action person, a contemporary flat illustration for a Japanese audience, and a small, precise English logotype.

## Most important specifications

- Portrait 4:5
- A sophisticated live-action fashion advertisement
- Flat illustration suited to Japanese urban fashion and culture media
- Include two pieces of visual evidence that make the theme instantly recognizable
- Do not use pure black outlines in the illustration
- English must appear as a small, refined logotype, not handwriting
- Use a main color plus a clearly distinct accent color
- Prioritize natural human anatomy and a natural full-body silhouette for the live-action person
- Present only the strongest single concept and one finished image

## Concept

Internally determine the following from {{theme}}:

1. Features that distinguish the theme from adjacent themes
2. Two pieces of visual evidence that communicate the theme instantly
3. One scene in which the live-action person and main illustration perform together
4. The person's clothing, hairstyle, and makeup
5. An accent color that contrasts with the main color
6. A short English logo name

Do not merely replace the theme word with generic icons. Incorporate tools, operations, and results specific to the theme into the actions of the person and illustration.

If the theme is AI design, always show both of the following:

- Evidence that “AI generates concepts,” such as prompt input, multiple generated options, or changes during generation
- Evidence of “editing the design,” such as layers, vector nodes, a color panel, or a selection

Treat the main illustration as an AI partner that emerges from the screen or generated concepts and edits together with the person. Do not represent AI merely by placing a robot in the scene.

## Live-action person

Use one fictional model suited to the theme. Infer age and gender from the theme rather than defaulting to a young woman.

Style the person as part of a sophisticated Japanese urban fashion campaign.

- Distinctive clothing that could be worn in real life
- One bold feature in the collar, sleeves, pattern, or silhouette
- Repeat the main and accent colors
- Design the full outfit through shoes, socks, and accessories
- A constructed hairstyle such as braids, multiple buns, hairpins, or an asymmetrical part
- One effective makeup accent, such as colored eyeliner or vivid lipstick
- A gaze and pose that respond to the illustration or screen

Do not use an ordinary shirt, business attire, an unremarkable hairstyle and makeup, or a stock-photo look. Do not turn it into extravagant cosplay.

**First construct the person as a natural full-body pose that would work even without the illustration. Keep the connections and lengths of the head, neck, shoulders, torso, waist, arms, hands, legs, and feet anatomically natural.**

**Draw one left and one right arm, one left and one right leg, one left and one right hand, and five fingers on each hand. Do not bend the joints, wrists, elbows, knees, or ankles unnaturally. Do not duplicate, merge, omit, or multiply body parts.**

Render the face, skin, hair, hands, and fingers naturally.

## Illustration

Use one main illustration and two to four small illustrations that reinforce the theme.

Follow these rules for a contemporary Japanese editorial illustration:

- Simple forms with breathing room
- Small, neatly organized eyes, nose, and mouth
- Expressions that are not overly exaggerated
- Fashionable hair and clothing
- Crisp, flat color fields
- Thin to medium-weight colored outlines
- A natural pose that is not excessively symmetrical
- Cute but not childish
- Slightly deadpan humor and urban refinement

Do not use pure black for the primary outlines. Use a dark chromatic color suited to the palette, such as deep magenta, burgundy, navy, cobalt, or purple.

Do not use an overseas children's-book look, a generic Western vector style, Webtoon style, 3D anime, old clip art, or excessive deformation. Do not imitate existing artists or characters.

## Integrating live action and illustration

Connect the live action and illustration in at least three places.

- The illustration touches the person's tool or screen
- The person looks at, imitates, or reacts to the illustration
- Part of the illustration passes behind the person or furniture
- Another part overlaps in front
- A live-action operation produces an illustrated result
- Colors or shapes from the clothing or screen continue into the illustration

Do not simply paste illustrations around the scene. Create one action or story between the person and the main illustration.

**However, do not express the integration by deforming the person's anatomy. The live-action body must stand independently as one complete human figure; then add front-to-back relationships with the illustration.**

**Prioritize contact with tools, screens, furniture, the outside of clothing, and the space around the person. Do not substantially hide the forms or connections of the arms, hands, legs, or feet, and do not divide the person's body with illustration.**

Do not overlap illustration across the face, eyes, or fingers. Do not merge the human body and illustration unnaturally.

## English logotype

Handwriting, script, and brush lettering are prohibited.

Design a precise geometric logotype that is beautiful on its own even at a small size.

- A custom-designed modern sans serif
- Accurate spacing and optical adjustment
- Apply cutouts, joins, or a shared angle to only selected letters
- If appropriate, turn two letters into a natural ligature
- Integrate only one small geometric symbol that represents the theme
- A horizontal or neatly arranged compact lockup
- Place it in an upper corner at about 15–25% of the image width

Do not simply typeset an existing font, use a large headline, script, wavy letters, or flashy decoration.

Do not crush, stretch, or compress letterforms. Do not include body copy, numbers, or a fictional brand other than the title.

## Color palette

Use {{main color}} as the main color across 45–60% of the image.

Also choose:

- One accent color clearly different from the main color
- One light neutral
- One dark chromatic color for the illustration outlines

Repeat the accent color in at least three places across the person's outfit, the live-action set, and the illustration. Do not use it only once as a tiny decoration.

Do not stop at tints and shades of the same hue. Create a vivid clash between the main and accent colors.

Give every color field one of these roles: frame the person, signal the theme, separate foreground and background, or guide the eye. Meaningless gradients and shapes are prohibited.

## Composition and lighting

Let the person occupy 40–55% of the image and the main illustration 25–40%. Form a large triangle with the person, illustration, and logotype.

**Place and size the person so the entire figure fits comfortably from head to toe, without unnaturally cropping the limbs at the edge. Avoid extreme perspective, excessively strong wide-angle effects, and poses that greatly distort the body.**

Leave breathing room around the logotype. Do not distribute supporting elements evenly; arrange them according to the person's gaze and the sequence of operations associated with the theme.

Use bright, high-key photography for the live-action portion while preserving the textures of skin, hair, clothing, and furniture. Keep the illustration flat and clear, adding only slight front-to-back separation where it meets the live action.

Dark interiors, muddy colors, plastic-looking skin, and a fully monochrome background are prohibited.

## Final check

Before generating, internally confirm:

1. Is the image portrait 4:5?
2. Are there two pieces of evidence that identify the theme without explanation?
3. If the theme is AI design, are both “AI generation” and “design editing” visible?
4. Do the person's clothing, hair, and makeup have individuality?
5. Does the illustration suit Japanese urban editorial media?
6. Are the illustration outlines a color other than pure black?
7. Are live action and illustration connected in at least three places?
8. Is the accent color repeated in at least three places?
9. Is the English rendered as a small, refined geometric logotype?
10. Are the spelling and letterforms of the logo correct?
11. Are there no meaningless objects or color fields?
12. **Does the person work as one normal human body, with a natural number, connection, proportion, and articulation of the head, torso, arms, hands, legs, and feet?**
13. **Are the fingers and limbs free of multiplication, omission, fusion, or twisting?**
14. **Does overlap with the illustration leave the body's silhouette and joints unambiguous?**

Fix any failing area by correcting the relationship between the theme-identifying evidence, person, main illustration, and logotype rather than adding more elements.

**If the anatomy has a problem, fix it by prioritizing anatomical naturalness over decoration or integration with the illustration.**

Display only one finished image that satisfies every requirement. Do not output analysis, multiple concepts, work-in-progress, or explanation.
