Late-night DJ set posts, diner supper reminders, and jam night stories.

A little art direction

The event name is the sign, so keep it to three words. In the notes ask for one neon object; a story suits a tall upright shape like a guitar or a wave.

Vertical story (9:16) · GPT Image 2.5 SunburstThursday Blues JamRead 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: Thursday Blues Jam
When: Every Thursday · 9pm
Where: The Lantern, North Beach
Highlights: House band plus whoever shows up with a guitar
Admission: Free

ART DIRECTION
Interpret the supplied brief in Neon Sign / Diner Americana style.
Visual vocabulary: glowing letterforms with a soft neon halo effect on dark background; outlined tube-style lettering suggesting bent glass tubing; dark ground — deep blue-black or near-black; {"vivid saturated colour"=>"hot pink, electric blue, yellow-white, red"}; arrows, stars, or simple geometric motifs as secondary neon elements.
Lettering direction: script or rounded display letterforms evoking hand-bent neon tube; outlined rather than solid — the tube is the stroke, not a fill; generous letter spacing to suggest physical tube construction.
Suggested colors: deep blue-black ground; neon pink, electric blue, acid yellow, warm white glow.
Composition: dominant illuminated headline; secondary neon motif; dark field surrounding.
Atmosphere: nocturnal, American roadside, retro-glamorous, warmly commercial.
Keep out of the design: daylight or bright white backgrounds, flat colour without glow, hand-crafted or artisanal warmth, 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 neon guitar outline standing upright, with a small tube-bent arrow pointing at it.
These notes guide the imagery; do not print them as text.

Check spelling and retain the supplied wording. Do not include these instructions, labels, watermarks, or extra slogans in the artwork.
