Vertical story (9:16) · GPT Image 2.5 SunburstRepair CaféRead 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: Repair Café When: Saturday, February 14, 2026 · 10am–2pm Where: Bernal Heights Library Highlights: Bring broken toasters, torn jeans, and wobbly chairs Volunteers fix them with you Admission: Free · Donations welcome ART DIRECTION Interpret the supplied brief in Mimeograph / Ditto Machine style. Visual vocabulary: waxy smudged purple-blue or blue-grey ink; slight ghosting or double-image on text and line work; soft unfocused edges on drawn elements; typewriter text combined with hand-drawn illustration; visible stencil grain or texture. Lettering direction: typewriter monospace — typically Courier or Pica; manual underlining and hand-added emphasis; occasional hand-written annotation. Suggested colors: purple-blue or grey-blue on off-white paper. Composition: informal; text and crude drawings sharing the page without strict hierarchy. Atmosphere: community, democratic, low-resource, pre-digital warmth. Keep out of the design: clean digital typography, full-colour imagery, corporate polish, artificial yellowing or ageing. Apply the visual language to the supplied brief; do not invent historical affiliations, endorsements, or extra copy. ILLUSTRATION NOTES A crude line drawing of a toaster with a bandage, smudged edges. 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.
