Vertical story (9:16) · GPT Image 2.5 SunburstFriday Night Film ClubRead 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: Friday Night Film Club When: Friday, November 13, 2026 · 7:30pm Where: The Little Marquee, Noe Valley Highlights: A double bill of classic comedies with live piano Admission: $5 · Bring a cushion ART DIRECTION Interpret the supplied brief in German Expressionist Film Poster style. Visual vocabulary: distorted angular architecture with impossible perspective; raking diagonal shadows cutting across the composition; figures made small by overwhelming dark architecture; high contrast — vast black areas with sharp white highlights; tilted or oblique framing creating visual unease. Lettering direction: angular gothic or compressed sans-serif letterforms; title at a slight angle or set into an architectural element; bold and stark — matches the visual severity. Suggested colors: black, white, and cold grey; occasional deep red as blood accent. Composition: architectural scene dominating; figure(s) subordinate to environment; title at top. Atmosphere: threatening, psychological, dark, nightmare geometry. Keep out of the design: warmth or natural lighting, decorative ornament, artificial yellowing or ageing. Apply the visual language to the supplied brief; do not invent historical affiliations, endorsements, or extra copy. ILLUSTRATION NOTES A tall crooked cinema staircase with raking shadows and a tiny figure climbing it. 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.
