An album · GPT Image 2.5 SunburstTeethRead the exact prompt
Create a finished square album cover, in a 1:1 aspect ratio. Produce the front cover artwork itself, without a vinyl sleeve, jewel case, shelf, or room mockup. COVER TEXT Use the following release information exactly as written. The labels before each colon are for you, not for the cover; print only the text after them. Do not invent extra text. Artist: Split Lip Title: Teeth ART DIRECTION Interpret the supplied brief in Brutalist Graphic Design style. Visual vocabulary: large black rectangular fields; extreme contrast — black on white or white on black; raw unpolished edges; minimal or no illustration; concrete-grey textures optional. Lettering direction: heavy grotesque sans-serif; oversized headlines; tight or overlapping letterspacing. Suggested colors: black, white, one brutal accent — orange or yellow. Composition: massive type blocks dominating the page; information crammed or isolated. Atmosphere: rebellious, confrontational, anti-decorative. Keep out of the design: soft pastels, decorative illustration, craft-fair warmth. Apply the visual language to the supplied brief; do not invent historical affiliations, endorsements, or extra copy. ILLUSTRATION NOTES A massive solid rectangle filling most of the square, one raw concrete strip along the bottom. These notes guide the imagery; do not print them as text. Make the artist name and title the strongest text elements and keep all other text minimal and small, as on a real record sleeve. Check spelling and retain the supplied wording. Do not include these instructions, labels, watermarks, or extra slogans in the artwork.
