Every Style Retro Print Cover
Instructions
Make the cover for this article for me.
- 21:9 ratio
- Using a single background color such as navy blue, dark cyan, dark brown, and dark red creates an immersive experience.
- The visual layers are rich. Choose appropriate collage elements based on the article's theme, limiting them to no more than three. These elements should be well-integrated, not isolated, and should be refined black-and-white hand-drawn/sculpted elements.
- The background has textured noise, giving it a vintage film look.
- Mixed-media aesthetics: Victorian engraving techniques + vintage printing + surrealist collage
- Purely visual graphic design, no text included.
- Symmetrical composition
The overall design exudes a sophisticated editorial feel, resembling a cover illustration for a humanities and science magazine.
The style is inspired by Every.to magazine; see the reference image.

ImageRelic Art
Transform a real photo into a vertical "relic art" poster that blends documentary value with artistic expression: the upper part keeps the original photograph untouched, while the lower part uses warm paper or restrained light and shadow to compress a memory-derived graphic from the image. It's not a typical illustration or decorative poster; instead, it uses sparse ink blocks, softened edges, white-space cuts, and sparse lines to distill architectural, urban, water, road, human-scale, horizon, and light-shadow relationships, so the subject remains recognizable even in thumbnails. The overall feel is quiet, restrained, and like a modern print. Colors are taken from the source photo, primarily deep blue, ink black, gray-green, stone, or low-saturation warm tones, with a small warm accent added when fitting. The title is kept very small, poetic, and similar to an exhibition label, never overwhelming. This is suitable for minimalist art posters, photographic relic series, architectural and urban image posters, abstract editorial photography, gallery-style photo covers, and visual series for mobile platforms like Douyin. The final output preserves the authentic content of the original photo while adding a consistent "memory imprint" below, giving each photo its own mood and an expandable visual identity.
ImageCharacter Forge Workshop
For the Micro World of Fruits project, this skill generates character cards and three-view image prompts that meet all of the project's visual specifications. It anchors finalized characters as the style template and runs a self-check against a checklist after each render. Using this skill helps you avoid wasting credits during image generation.
ImageLittle Box | Insight Sketches
Turn abstract ideas into hand-drawn Little Box illustrations that explain the content. Suitable for articles, blogs, product thinking, AI workflows, methodologies, and knowledge notes. The Little Box always stays closed and personally performs core actions such as collecting, filtering, organizing, repairing, or handing off.
