A finished vertical 4:5 advertising poster for a fictional sparkling pink lemonade brand. Loud, glossy, maximum saturation, hard-flash look. STRICT PALETTE: bubblegum pink, lemon yellow, mint green, white, black outlines. No other colors.

PHOTOGRAPH in the upper two-thirds: a laughing girl in a white bucket hat and a mint tee against a flat bubblegum-pink wall, one eye squeezed shut from the sour taste, lips puckered around a pink-and-white striped straw. She holds a tall slim can toward a 35mm lens shot from slightly below; cold drops run down the can, three lemon slices hang in the air beside it. Hard direct flash: hot highlights on cheeks, a sharp black shadow on the wall behind her shoulder.

GRAPHICS: "SOUR SUN" set enormous across the top on one line in a chunky extruded 3D rounded display face: lemon-yellow faces, mint-green extrusion, thick black outline, white gloss streak. The lettering overlaps the brim of her hat.

TWO glossy sticker badges with soft drop shadows: a mint starburst reading "NEW" in white caps, and a yellow lemon-shaped badge reading "zero sugar" in black lowercase. Exactly two stickers.

LOWER THIRD on a solid lemon-yellow panel: "PUCKER UP, SUMMER" in black bold caps, centered; below it one line of small black text: "Real lemons. Pink fizz. Zero chill."; below that a black pill button with yellow text "Find a cooler".

Typography rules: English, spelled exactly as given (the brand is S-O-U-R  S-U-N), at most two typefaces, straight baselines, no doubled glyphs, no gibberish, "SOUR SUN" appears exactly once. Exactly one can, one straw, two hands, two stickers, one button. No watermark, no extra logos.

A vertical 4:5 travel poster filling the frame edge to edge, with a thin bone-cream inner border. Style: mid-century screenprint, flat layered color separations, clean graphic shapes, light stipple texture, visible paper grain as if printed on aged uncoated paper and photographed flat.

Layout: the name LOFOTEN at upper left in a large high-contrast serif, black ink, one line. Under it NORWAY in small widely spaced black caps. A solid black band across the bottom carries the tagline WHERE THE LIGHT STAYS UP in bone-cream spaced caps, centered.

Illustration in the lower three quarters: sharp green-black peaks rising straight out of a still fjord, a row of red wooden fishing cabins on stilts along the shore, drying racks of fish beside them, a midnight sun low over the water in a banded sky from deep teal through coral to pale gold, a single small rowing boat leaving a white wake.

Palette held to teal, coral, pale gold, red ochre, slate green, bone cream and black.

Typography: exactly two typefaces, straight baselines, correct spelling, Latin characters only. One place name, one country line, one tagline, each once. No people, no watermark.

Add two pale pink rose petals resting on her cheekbone and small clear water droplets beaded across the petals and her skin, one droplet leaving a short wet trail. Brush a soft rose blush high on the cheekbone. Keep her exact facial features, skin tone, closed eyes, hair, lighting and framing unchanged.

Change the woman's faded denim jacket to a fitted mustard-yellow corduroy jacket with brown buttons, and change her white tee to a thin cream turtleneck. Keep the same pose, the same mint-green bicycle, the same street and lighting, and keep the woman with short platinum hair exactly as she is, while keeping the same facial features, freckles and expression.

A finished weekly manga magazine cover, portrait 4:5. Printed look: visible halftone dots in the midtones, slight ink misregistration on the reds, faint newsprint paper texture over everything.

STRICT PALETTE: signal red, acid yellow, black, cream newsprint. No other colors.

ILLUSTRATION fills the cover: a girl with a short black bob and a torn acid-yellow scarf leans hard into a turn on a red sport motorbike, knee slider nearly touching the road, grinning with her teeth showing, eyes locked on the reader. Hard cel shading, crisp black outlines, heavy spot blacks. Dense black speed lines radiate from a vanishing point behind her helmet-free head. Sparks spray from the footpeg at the lower right in red and yellow dots. Low angle, we look slightly up at her.

LAYOUT:
MASTHEAD: the two kanji 疾風 rendered once, correctly formed, huge, top left, in black brush lettering with a red offset shadow, partly overlapped by her scarf.
Under it, in small clean red Latin capitals: GALE RIDER.
Top right: a yellow starburst with a black outline reading NEW SERIES in black capitals, two words exactly.
Bottom edge: a solid black band with tiny cream decorative type that is too small to read.

TYPOGRAPHY RULES: at most two typefaces, Latin text on straight baselines, exact spellings (疾風 once, GALE RIDER, NEW SERIES). No speech bubbles, no panel borders, no other readable text. Exactly two arms, one bike, two wheels. No watermark.
