- All people/objects must be illustrated/stylized, never photorealistic
- Never include signs, billboards, text, or readable symbols in the scene
- Colors must POP against the dark background — think neon, fire, gold, electric blue
- Design for 60px thumbnail readability
Return JSON:
- scene, mood, color_palette (VIVID, SATURATED — no pastels, no grays), composition, atmosphere
