Vertical story (9:16) · GPT Image 2.5 SunburstLow Tide FestivalRead 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: Low Tide Festival When: Saturday, August 22, 2026 · Noon till sunset Where: Ocean Beach, Outer Sunset Highlights: Two stages, twelve bands, one long day by the water Headlined by Sea Glass and Marram Admission: $25 day pass · Kids under 12 free Presented by Posterage ART DIRECTION Interpret the supplied brief in Ukiyo-e / Japanese Woodblock style. Visual vocabulary: bold fluid outlines from a brush-cut keyblock; flat colour areas with no Western-style shading; bokashi — gradated colour within a single area, horizontal bands of lighter-to-darker; strong asymmetric composition; nature or urban scene with distinct foreground/mid/background planes. Lettering direction: Japanese text integrated as a cartouche within the composition; calligraphic artist seal as a design element; Latin text adapted to sit within the visual logic of the print. Suggested colors: indigo, vermillion, black, cream, muted green; woodblock colour range. Composition: asymmetric; large sky or water area; cropped elements at edges. Atmosphere: serene, composed, atmospheric, technically precise. Keep out of the design: Western Japonisme interpretation (this is the original, not the Western response), gradient shading suggesting Western tonal rendering, 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 view down a sloping dune to flat wet sand, small tents and a bokashi sky above. 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.
