Oversized Geometric Character Posters
Build an editorial poster from bold asymmetric characters, oversized objects, hot pink and cobalt, soft spray shading, and fine ink grain. Choose one of four scene briefs by Vigo Zhao.
Create a finished editorial character poster, 9:16, edge-to-edge warm off-white paper. Flat geometric illustration, exaggerated asymmetric proportions, soft airbrushed shading, fine print grain.
One adult character built from a few oversized, asymmetric shapes: small head, long capsule limbs, simple mitten hands. One large object is part of the pose and changes the silhouette. Black cut-paper facial features: crescent eyes, minimal mouth. The emotion reads from the whole-body gesture.
Palette: off-white #F3F1EB, near-black #10100F, hot pink #F553D2, warm red #F42726, cobalt #293EA1, emerald #13785D. Flat color blocks with crisp edges; soft dark-to-color spray gradients where shapes overlap. Fine stipple grain sits mostly inside the ink areas, barely visible on the paper.
One short caption in small bold black uppercase sans-serif, set in an open paper pocket. Not a headline.
Room to growCaption: "ROOM TO GROW" Character & Object: open shears · emerald topiary. Gardener with a curved pink back bending in, both hands on big cobalt shears around one leafy tip. Gesture & Emotion: bending in, both hands on big cobalt shears around one leafy tip. Shape Idea: the crescent back answers the hedge's curling crown; the open blades cut a white gap between them.
No extra text, no logos, no outlined cartoon look, no glossy 3D, no realistic skin, no coarse canvas texture, no busy background, no extra limbs.
About this prompt
- What you need
- Choose a scene and use the complete text prompt. The source describes direct illustration generation and does not require a reference image.
- How to use
- Choose one of the four source scenes. The caption, character, pose, and shape idea change together.
- Copy the complete prompt into your image generator. Keep the 9:16 frame, warm off-white paper, fixed six-color palette, and geometric character proportions.
- Keep the English caption small and uppercase, with space around it. The caption should not become a headline.
- Check the object’s role in the silhouette, the cut-paper face, and the fine print grain. To make your own scene, edit the four scene fields after copying.
- Example images
- Four complete posters from Vigo Zhao’s source post are shown. They were reduced to a maximum 1600 px long edge and re-encoded without cropping. Their exact generation settings were not supplied. The source labels the examples as AI-made but does not name the model. This project has not independently generated or model-verified them.
- What we changed
- The generic prompt and all four scene briefs are preserved verbatim in the original. The selector fills the four source fields from the matching author brief. Pose wording is taken from the same brief without adding a new emotion. Chinese is a complete translation; English captions and color codes stay unchanged.
- License
- The source states no prompt or image license. Rights remain with Vigo Zhao or the relevant holders, and commercial-use permission is unknown.
