An album · GPT Image 2.5 SunburstLow CountryRead the exact prompt
Create a finished square album cover, in a 1:1 aspect ratio. Produce the front cover artwork itself, without a vinyl sleeve, jewel case, shelf, or room mockup. COVER TEXT Use the following release information exactly as written. The labels before each colon are for you, not for the cover; print only the text after them. Do not invent extra text. Artist: Ada Merrow Title: Low Country Label: Foghorn Records ART DIRECTION Interpret the supplied brief in Crayon Folk Handmade style. Visual vocabulary: waxy crayon texture visible; simple folk motifs — flowers, birds, suns; uneven colour fill; white paper texture showing through; childlike but not incompetent. Lettering direction: hand-lettered marker or crayon; slightly wobbly but legible. Suggested colors: crayon primaries with waxy build-up. Composition: central folk motif; hand-lettered text around it. Atmosphere: warm, folk, homespun. Keep out of the design: digital craft-fair slop, bunting and pennants, airbrush effects. Apply the visual language to the supplied brief; do not invent historical affiliations, endorsements, or extra copy. ILLUSTRATION NOTES A crayon heron stepping through tall marsh grass with a scribbled waxy sun behind. These notes guide the imagery; do not print them as text. Make the artist name and title the strongest text elements and keep all other text minimal and small, as on a real record sleeve. Check spelling and retain the supplied wording. Do not include these instructions, labels, watermarks, or extra slogans in the artwork.
