Layout

Use premium magazine editorial layout.

Requirements:

Generous white space.

The title is the absolute visual center.

Keep only:

one main title.

Do not add:

a section label in the top-left corner; a logo in the bottom-right corner; meaningless English captions; page numbers; dates; brand signatures.

---

Typography

Title:

A premium serif typeface.

Similar to:

Source Han Serif Georgia New York Times Magazine headline style.

Characteristics:

clear contrast between thick and thin strokes; the character of books and research reports.

Supporting text:

Use a clean sans-serif typeface.

Similar to:

Inter.

Use a monospaced typeface sparingly:

JetBrains Mono.

---

Visual subject

Create an abstract, metaphorical illustration based on the topic.

Do not draw the topic's objects directly.

Use:

hand-drawn line art; abstract structures; conceptual symbols.

For example:

AI topic:

Do not draw robots.

You can show:

human outline + intelligent nodes + paths of thought.

Web topic:

Do not draw an ordinary computer.

You can show:

the structure of digital space; web modules being built like architecture.

Knowledge topic:

Do not draw piles of books.

You can show:

information nodes converging into a knowledge structure.

Decorative elements

Add a few non-functional color shapes.

Purpose:

to balance the composition.

Number:

2-4.

Size:

≤5% of the image area.

Forms:

irregular organic shapes; hand-drawn circles; small rectangles; paper shapes.

Do not:

arrange them evenly; make them look like UI buttons; scatter lots of dots.

Colors:

choose from these accent colors: #EFEAE0, #CD6F47, #6B8A6F, #8FA9C7, #1A1A1A

---

Illustration colors

Overall:

black line art: #1A1A1A

light paper: #EFEAE0

Accent color:

at most one.

Keep it low-saturation.

---

Final effect

Like:

a page from a research report published by Anthropic; a design archive of the AI era; a future-trends analysis from a premium consulting firm.

Requirements:

minimal; premium; thoughtful; generous white space; visually stable.

Avoid:

complex infographics; lots of text; 3D effects; gradients; neon; techy blue glow; a commercial-template feel.
