An album · GPT Image 2.5 SunburstIron HarvestRead 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: Black Ember Title: Iron Harvest ART DIRECTION Interpret the supplied brief in Vintage Halloween style. Visual vocabulary: mid-century die-cut paper decoration aesthetic; grinning jack-o'-lanterns, arched black cats, owls, crescent moons, and friendly skeletons; embossed cardboard texture, slight paper wear, and crepe-paper or honeycomb-tissue trim; simple flat shapes with printed shading lines; cheerful rather than frightening. Lettering direction: chunky hand-lettered display capitals with a slight wobble; lettering on paper banners or ribbons; small block caps for details. Suggested colors: pumpkin orange, black, lime green, cream, a touch of violet. Composition: one or two large die-cut characters framing the headline; scalloped or zigzag paper borders; details on a banner or in a corner label. Atmosphere: nostalgic, mischievous, warm, festive. Keep out of the design: gore, horror-movie realism, photographic pumpkins, modern flat vector icons, purple-and-green neon. Apply the visual language to the supplied brief; do not invent historical affiliations, endorsements, or extra copy. ILLUSTRATION NOTES A grinning die-cut jack-o'-lantern and a skeleton playing a fiddle, embossed cardboard texture. 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.
