A little art direction
Let the event name sit small; this style treats type as texture. In the notes combine two unrelated objects at mismatched scales; a story suits one towering over the other.

Vertical story (9:16) · GPT Image 2.5 SunburstPoetry & PintsRead 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: Poetry & Pints When: Wednesday, March 18, 2026 · 8pm Where: The Lantern, North Beach Highlights: Open mic with three featured poets Admission: Free · Sign up from 7:30pm ART DIRECTION Interpret the supplied brief in 4AD Records style. Visual vocabulary: distressed photographic texture as background or primary image; etched or engraved line drawing overlaid on photography; gothic romantic imagery — architecture, natural forms, decay; dreamlike collage combining incompatible elements at wrong scales; rich dark tones with areas of intense colour. Lettering direction: type used sparingly — band name often small or partially obscured; delicate serif or custom letterforms; text as texture rather than clear information. Suggested colors: dark — deep red, black, brown, bone white, occasional vivid green or blue. Composition: image-led; text placed quietly within or below the dominant visual. Atmosphere: gothic romantic, dreamlike, beautiful darkness, underground. Keep out of the design: clean Swiss clarity, bright cheerful colours, craft-fair aesthetics, 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 etched moth the size of a chapel resting on a distressed photograph of a tavern. 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.
