    "[CORE] Extreme near-to-far photographic perspective: one tactile foreground form enlarged by a fisheye lens, with a human gesture or body receding strongly behind it. Maintain coherent anatomy and physical object structure.",
    "[CORE] A predominantly charcoal-black field with low-contrast fine grain and generous breathing space contrasts with warm, flash-lit photographic cutouts and large off-white sans-serif typography.",
    "[CORE] Thin imperfect off-white pencil contour echoes loosely trace selected cutout edges; a few scratch stars or crosses punctuate space without becoming a dense illustration.",
    "[CORE] Small generic cyan-blue desktop folders and white-bordered photo-file thumbnails float as collage punctuation; no actual operating-system interface, platform branding, or logos.",
    "[FLEX] Let each subject determine its visual path: diagonal leap, lateral sweep, circular rim, or radiating organic silhouette; avoid repeating a single person-right/title-left template.",
    "[FLEX] Headline may stack, stretch across an open band, or split into clearly ordered blocks; preserve exact wording and strong photographic/typographic hierarchy.",
    "[FLEX] Change viewpoint, cutout scale, negative-space shape, placement of file fragments, and restrained secondary material colors to serve the case. Cyan remains a small graphic accent.",
    "[FLEX] Recompose the portrait and landscape intentionally; retain the concept and photographic gesture while moving type and supporting fragments to avoid collisions."

    "texture": "Fine low-contrast monochrome grain across the charcoal field and lighter photographic grain on cutouts; hairline pencil scratches have uneven hand pressure. Keep text clean, preserve tactile surfaces and slight snapshot softness, no heavy distressed overlays.",

Two tiny readable desktop fragment labels, each once: {FILE_LABELS}. Use two or three small generic cyan folders / white-bordered photographic file thumbnails, with no other words. Keep a predominantly charcoal field, warm tactile flash photograph, loose hairline white contour echoes and sparse scratch marks. Texture: fine low-contrast monochrome grain on the dark field, lighter grain and slight intentional snapshot softness on photographs, clean typography; no thick distress. Exclude source content: {SOURCE_CONTENT_TO_AVOID}. Build a new content-led composition within this visual family. Keep anatomy, object connections, occlusion and readable type coherent. No watermark, logo, QR code, barcode, app mark, signature, dense UI, extra fingers, extra limbs or illegible invented text.",

No logos.",

In landscape put the huge wheel at lower-left, body above center-left and headline in open right space. In portrait let the board cut diagonally across the lower half, skater above it and headline occupy the open upper band. The shadow-ground fragment may curve gently below the board.",

Landscape: windscreen at far right foreground, recordist center-right, headline across the upper-left opening; cable arcs below the copy toward two small file fragments.
