• Format: 4:5 Instagram post.
• Background: paper beige with subtle texture.
• Layout: editorial composition with layered text blocks.
• Typography: printed magazine feeling.
• Details: soft shadows and slight imperfections.
• Feeling: calm, warm, tactile, natural.

Non-Negotiables

• Use 4:5 aspect ratio unless the user explicitly asks otherwise.
• Keep the background tactile and paper-like.
• Use layered text blocks with refined spacing.
• Use soft shadows only to imply paper layering.
