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: The Bay Community Choir Title: Carols at Dusk ART DIRECTION Interpret the supplied brief in Scandinavian Folk / Rosemaling style. Visual vocabulary: organic flowing acanthus and floral scrollwork; asymmetric composition with visual balance through weight distribution; visible confident brushwork — strokes are expressive, not laboured; rose, tulip, and leaf motifs as primary elements; double-stroke brush technique creating C and S curves. Lettering direction: hand-painted lettering in the same scroll tradition as the imagery; text flows within the decorative composition. Suggested colors: earth tones — ochre, sienna, burnt umber; cobalt blue, forest green, rose pink on warm white or cream. Composition: scrollwork fills the field; text woven into the botanical composition. Atmosphere: warm, domestic, crafted with pride, Nordic folk. Keep out of the design: symmetrical or geometric composition, flat vector illustration, artificial yellowing or ageing. Apply the visual language to the supplied brief; do not invent historical affiliations, endorsements, or extra copy. ILLUSTRATION NOTES A single candle encircled by a wreath of acanthus scrolls, roses, and tulips. 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.
