Vertical story (9:16) · GPT Image 2.5 SunburstSurf NightRead 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.

Visual vocabulary: perspective grid receding to a bright horizon line; gradient sunset — hot pink fading to deep purple; chrome or metallic 3D letterforms; palm tree silhouettes against the gradient sky; horizontal scan lines suggesting a CRT monitor.
