Square post (1:1) · GPT Image 2.5 SunburstPotrero Skate JamRead the exact prompt
Create a finished square social media graphic announcing an event, in a 1:1 aspect ratio for an Instagram or Facebook feed. Produce the graphic itself, without a phone frame, app interface, or mockup.

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.

When: Sunday, August 9, 2026 · 1pm
Where: Potrero del Sol Skatepark
Highlights: Open sessions, best-trick contest, and a barbecue
Admission: Free · Helmets under 16

ART DIRECTION
Interpret the supplied brief in Skateboard / Street Graphics style.
Visual vocabulary: cartoon figures with anatomically wrong or exaggerated features; skulls, eyeballs, dripping elements, claws, or screaming mouths; heavy black outline on all forms; vivid, saturated colours — often clashing; psychedelic or surreal background elements.
Lettering direction: custom display lettering with spiky or dripping modifications; bold all-caps with outline or drop shadow; graffiti-influenced letterforms.
Suggested colors: vivid clashing — hot pink, lime, electric blue, orange, black.
Composition: central character or skull dominating; text around the figure.
Atmosphere: transgressive, youth-culture, absurd-menacing, irreverent.
Keep out of the design: clean corporate illustration, pastel or muted colours, conventional poster hierarchy, artificial yellowing or ageing.
Apply the visual language to the supplied brief; do not invent historical affiliations, endorsements, or extra copy.

ILLUSTRATION NOTES
A bug-eyed cartoon creature with too many teeth riding a melting skateboard.
