Nonfiction · GPT Image 2.5 SunburstLearn to Code on SaturdaysRead the exact prompt
Create a finished front cover for a nonfiction book, in a 2:3 portrait aspect ratio. Produce the flat front cover artwork only, without spine, back cover, book mockup, or shelf. COVER TEXT Use the following book 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, quotes, or awards. Title: Learn to Code on Saturdays Subtitle: Games and websites for ages 9 to 14 Author: The Hub Publisher: Foghorn Books ART DIRECTION Interpret the supplied brief in Concrete Art style. Visual vocabulary: systematic colour progressions — sequential hue or value shifts; grid-based composition with mathematical subdivision; geometric forms that are exactly what they are — no symbolic meaning; each element repeated or permuted according to a visible rule; white space used as a structural element, not just background. Lettering direction: minimal — a title and artist name in small neutral sans-serif; text occupies a defined grid zone and does not compete with image. Suggested colors: systematic sequences — not arbitrary; often full spectrum in ordered steps. Composition: grid subdivisions revealing a visual series or progression. Atmosphere: intellectual, precise, quietly radical, mathematically beautiful. Keep out of the design: subjective expression or gestural marks, decorative or symbolic imagery, arbitrary colour choices, artificial yellowing or ageing. Apply the visual language to the supplied brief; do not invent historical affiliations, endorsements, or extra copy. ILLUSTRATION NOTES A grid of squares where each row doubles the count, like a program building itself. These notes guide the imagery; do not print them as text. Make the title the strongest text element and the author name the second. Keep everything else small. Check spelling and retain the supplied wording. Do not include these instructions, labels, watermarks, or extra slogans in the artwork.
