Vertical story (9:16) · GPT Image 2.5 SunburstMidnight OrchestraRead the exact prompt
Create a finished vertical social media story graphic announcing an event, in a 9:16 aspect ratio. Produce the graphic itself, without a phone frame, app interface, or mockup. Keep all text inside the middle 80% of the height so app controls do not cover it. POST TEXT Use the following event information exactly as written. The labels before each colon are for you, not for the graphic; print only the text after them. Do not invent extra event details. Title: Midnight Orchestra When: Thursday, December 3, 2026 · 7:30pm Where: Posterage Hall, Mission District Highlights: Strings, brass, and a late program of film scores Admission: $22 · Students $12 ART DIRECTION Interpret the supplied brief in Etching / Engraving style. Visual vocabulary: fine cross-hatching and parallel lines building tonal gradients; precise scratchy line quality suggesting a metal point; high contrast with mid-tones achieved through line density; detailed figurative or architectural imagery; slight plate tone or aquatint ground optional. Lettering direction: formal engraved lettering — copperplate or roman capitals; text in a below-image caption band, small and precise. Suggested colors: black ink on cream or warm white; sepia-toned variant for aquatint feeling. Composition: central image occupying most of the field; formal caption below. Atmosphere: authoritative, detailed, historical, scholarly. Keep out of the design: flat vector simplification, solid colour fills, photographic realism, artificial yellowing or ageing. Apply the visual language to the supplied brief; do not invent historical affiliations, endorsements, or extra copy. ILLUSTRATION NOTES A finely etched cello and bow leaning against a music stand. These notes guide the imagery; do not print them as text. This will be viewed on a phone: keep the event name very large, use few words at a large size, and leave generous margins. Keep supporting details readable with clear contrast. Check spelling and retain the supplied wording. Do not include these instructions, labels, watermarks, or extra slogans in the artwork.
