Prompt

{ "task": "create_qiufen_editorial_poster_series", "metadata": { "generated_at": "2026-09-23", "solar_term": "Autumn Equinox", "calendar_context": "The 16th of the 24 solar terms, the 4th term of autumn; day and night are equal in length, heat and cold are balanced." }, "theme": { "name": "Autumn Equinox", "english": "AUTUMNAL EQUINOX", "core_idea": "As the year reaches this point, the world begins to quiet down into halves.", "interpretation": "The Autumn Equinox is not late autumn, nor is it a harvest propaganda poster. Its true spirit is balance: day and night are almost equal in length, heat and coolness intersect with each other, and all things gradually transition from outward growth to inward convergence after maturity. It does not express autumn loudly, but rather makes one feel a sense of order, restraint, calm, and maturity.", "emotional_sentence": "Light and shadow each step back, and the world becomes just right in its silence." }, "generation": { "count": 9, "aspect_ratio": "9:16", "output_rule": "Generate 9 independent vertical high-end posters at once. Each image must stand alone; do not create a 3x3 grid, collage, or storyboard.", "series_rule": "All 9 works share the same spirit of the Autumn Equinox, but each must have a different visual entry point, spatial relationship, material focus, typographic temperament, and stylistic expression.", "variation_rule": "Unity comes from the sense of balance and high-end aesthetics of the Autumn Equinox; differences come from style directions, scene logic, lighting order, human-space relationships, negative space structure, and visual language." }, "creative_principle": { "core": "Fix the spirit of the Autumn Equinox, but do not fix what the Autumn Equinox must look like.", "method": "Do not blatantly pile up traditional autumn elements such as fallen leaves, rice paddies, calligraphy, ancient styles, harvests, or moons, nor make them empty designer concept posters. Through light and shadow, space, geometry, figures, materials, atmosphere, and order, make people feel that 'balance is happening'.", "visual_question": "How can we make people instantly recognize this as the Autumn Equinox—a solar term about balance, convergence, maturity, and stillness—without relying on traditional solar term templates?" }, "art_direction": { "mood": [ "Balance", "Restraint", "Maturity", "Quietness", "Clarity", "Sense of Order", "Negative Space", "Cool Lightness", "Stability", "Breathing Room" ], "visual_character": [ "High-end but not cold", "Minimalist but not empty", "Eastern temperament but not templated ancient style", "Fashionable but not posed", "Like a high-end lifestyle campaign", "Like a highly collected Pinterest poster", "Like a high-aesthetic Xiaohongshu cover", "Like magazine editorial visuals" ] }, "seasonal_expression": { "principle": "Express the Autumn Equinox through relationships, not through symbols.", "possible_relations": [ "Light and dark each occupying half", "Cold and warm intersecting with each other", "Balance between emptiness and fullness", "Balance between nature and architecture", "Balance between body and space", "Balance between movement and stillness", "Balance between growth and convergence", "Balance between day and night", "Balance between rational order and natural textures" ] }, "human_presence": { "optional": true, "role": "Figures are emotional anchors, not studio models.", "description": "If figures appear, use Sha Wujing from the 1983 version of Journey to the West as the character anchor. He wears modern fashion, but his iconic headband and large necklace beads must be reproduced. The figure should be natural, relaxed, and real, emphasizing posture, breathing, and the relationship between person and space rather than facial features.", "styling_rule": "Clothing is generated freely based on the specific image, requiring only texture, low saturation, and suitability for early autumn. Do not specify exact styles rigidly; lean towards shirts, knits, light jackets, linen, cotton, and structured daily wear.", "action_rule": "Do not preset fixed actions. Figures can stand, walk, linger, sit, lean, feel the wind, coexist with the environment, or not appear at all." }, "color_system": { "principle": "The colors of the Autumn Equinox are not intense autumn colors, but a more mature, calmer, and more balanced color system.", "direction": [ "Low to medium saturation", "Off-white, oatmeal, light gray, misty blue, sage green, gray-green, light brown, moss green, charcoal gray, deep ink green, deep indigo", "Allow small amounts of soft warm gold, terracotta, and sunset orange as seasonal transition points", "Avoid large areas of golden rice paddy colors, intense oranges/reds, and cheap warm autumn filters" ] }, "material_and_image_quality": { "qualities": [ "Natural light or restrained artificial light", "Real architectural and living materials", "Real paper, fabric, plant, metal, stone, and glass textures", "Slight film grain", "Slight print feel", "No over-sharpening", "No over-smoothness", "Avoid obvious AI plastic feel" ] }, "typography": { "main_title": "Autumn Equinox", "subtitle_options": [ "Slowly dividing the world into two halves.", "Day and night split equally, all things return to balance.", "When light and shadow reach an agreement." ], "rule": "Text should be minimalist and restrained, like a brand poster signature. Do not use traditional calligraphic solar term layouts; text should not bear the task of explanation." }, "nine_style_directions": [ { "index": 1, "style_name": "Minimalist Architectural Balance", "concept": "Express the 'halves' and sense of order of the Autumn Equinox through architectural and light/shadow segmentation.", "direction": "Emphasize geometric structures, white walls, long shadows, halved light zones, and the calm relationship between horizontal and vertical lines. Can be without figures, or with only a very small figure for scale. Overall minimalist, high-end, and quiet, like a combination of architectural photography and brand posters." }, { "index": 2, "style_name": "Poetic Natural Negative Space", "concept": "Express the quietness of the Autumn Equinox through thin air, slight breezes, and negative space in nature.", "direction": "Do not rely on yellow leaves; instead, express the seasonal transition through plants, grass edges, distant mountains, skylight, thin mist, slight coolness, and large areas of negative space. Like a very restrained nature-themed mood poster." }, { "index": 3, "style_name": "Lifestyle Still Life", "concept": "Reflect maturity, convergence, balance, and the order of early autumn through exquisite daily objects.", "direction": "Focus on high-aesthetic still life relationships, such as fabrics, book pages, fruits, vessels, dining tables, paper, shadows, drinks, and balanced compositions between natural materials. Not a product ad, but high-end lifestyle visuals." }, { "index": 4, "style_name": "Coexistence of Figure and Space", "concept": "Express inner balance during the Autumn Equinox through the relationship between a person and their space.", "direction": "The figure is not a performer but a dweller in the space. Emphasize small figures, large spaces, and restrained, natural relationships between people and light/shadow. Mood leans towards calm, mature, and breathable." }, { "index": 5, "style_name": "Dual Structure / Symmetry and Asymmetry", "concept": "The 'balance' of the Autumn Equinox is not necessarily absolute symmetry; it can also be high-end asymmetric balance.", "direction": "Use dual blocks, dual materials, dual color faces, dual spaces, dual traces of figures, or mirror relationships to express 'equilibrium', but avoid making it look like a stiff design exercise; retain a realistic photographic quality." }, { "index": 6, "style_name": "Autumn Equinox at the Edge of the City", "concept": "Bring the Autumn Equinox into a modern urban context rather than a traditional pastoral one.", "direction": "Scenes can come from modern streets, terraces, rooftops, corridors, edges of glass curtain walls, parking lots, open public spaces, etc. Express the sense of the solar term through light, wind, scale, and negative space, presenting contemporary visuals favored by young people." }, { "index": 7, "style_name": "Material and Microscopic Order", "concept": "Express the Autumn Equinox through texture, surface, subtle reflections, and arrangement order.", "direction": "Emphasize details and partial views; can be closer-up and more abstract, but still needs to be real. Form high-end visual tension through fabric wrinkles, plant textures, paper edges, pottery, glass, water vapor, and metal reflections." }, { "index": 8, "style_name": "Contemporary Eastern Courtyard Atmosphere", "concept": "Not ancient style, but quietness and balance in modern Eastern spaces.", "direction": "Scenes may include courtyards, wooden structures, stone, plants, corridors, door frames, and blank walls, but must be expressed with restraint under modern aesthetics. Do not create traditional Guofeng illustrations; aim for the vibe of a high-end Eastern hotel or brand campaign." }, { "index": 9, "style_name": "Magazine Cover Editorial", "concept": "Make the Autumn Equinox look like the theme of a high-end magazine cover.", "direction": "Place more emphasis on layout, cover feel of figures or spaces, relationship between title and subtitle, control of visual center of gravity, and high-fashion temperament. Still express the balance and convergence of the Autumn Equinox, rather than making a generic fashion shoot." } ], "composition": { "core": "Bear the narrative through negative space, order, light/shadow, and visual relationships, not by piling up traditional elements.", "guidelines": [ "Each poster must have a clear visual center of gravity", "Allow the subject to be small, letting space become the main narrative", "Allow detail-oriented posters as well as large-scene posters", "Allow symmetry as well as high-end asymmetric balance", "The 9 images must be significantly different, not just changing colors or poses" ] }, "diversity_contract": { "rule": "The 9 posters must be generated separately, clearly differing in style, space, material, human relationships, picture rhythm, and lighting logic.", "each_image_should_vary": [ "Space type", "Presence/Absence of figures", "Shot distance (close/far)", "Weight of still life vs. figures", "Material focus", "Position of negative space", "Lighting relationships", "Layout structure", "Angle of entering the Autumn Equinox mood" ], "consistency": "Unity comes from the balance, maturity, quietness, restraint, and high-end aesthetics of the Autumn Equinox, not from a unified scene template." }, "negative_constraints": [ "No traditional solar term templates", "No large calligraphy characters pressing on the image", "No ancient-style illustration feel", "No screens full of fallen leaves", "No harvest propaganda posters", "No dominant visuals of large rice paddies", "No red-and-gold festive styles", "No direct moon expressions typical of Mid-Autumn posters", "No cheap warm-yellow filters", "No empty concept posters", "No sharing the same skeleton across the 9 images", "No batch posters that just change the background" ], "final_generation_instruction": "Based on the unified worldview above, generate 9 Autumn Equinox posters separately at once. Each is an independently established high-end visual work, uniformly conveying the mood of the Autumn Equinox ('day and night split equally, heat and coolness intersect, all things return to balance, emotions converge'), but the nine must enter from 9 different style directions, presenting clear differentiation. The focus is not painting traditional autumn, but painting the spirit of the Autumn Equinox itself." }
