Prompt
A minimalist, elegant vintage book cover design on warm ivory textured paper for {argument name="book title" default="La Ciudad de Dios"}. Center the title near the top in large classical serif typography, dark navy blue, with refined spacing and a literary feel. Directly below it, place 1 small eight-point star in gold. In the upper middle, illustrate a heavenly walled city floating on clouds, drawn as delicate gold line art: a symmetrical sacred city with 1 central domed cathedral, many clustered towers, spires, walls, and gates, surrounded by soft clouds, with radiant sunburst lines spreading outward behind it. From the central gate of the celestial city, send down 1 vertical column of thin golden light beams toward the lower half of the cover. In the bottom third, depict an earthly ancient Roman landscape in fine blue-gray ink line art: 5 main architectural ruins and monuments arranged horizontally, including a long arcade on the left, a classical temple with columns near left-center, a domed building in the middle, a bell tower and surrounding ruins near right-center, and a colosseum-like ruin on the far right, plus a broken fallen column drum in the right foreground and sparse shrubs and ground texture. Keep the composition airy, symmetrical, and contemplative, with abundant negative space between heaven and earth. Place the author name {argument name="author name" default="SAN AGUSTÍN DE HIPONA"} centered at the bottom in spaced small caps serif, dark navy blue. Use only 3 visible text elements total: the title, the author name, and no subtitle. Palette limited to ivory, gold, and dark navy blue, with precise engraved linework and a sacred, timeless, classical theological mood.3Prompt breakdown

Vintage Hakodate Travel Poster
Create a vintage Japanese travel poster for Hakodate, Japan (destination city) on warm aged cream paper with subtle folds, stains, and worn edges. The composition is vertical and centered, with three main text elements: a large bold black Japanese headline at the top reading 函館 (Japanese headline text), a widely spaced romanized title beneath it reading HAKODATE (romanized title), and a bottom caption between two thin red horizontal rules reading 日本 / HAKODATE, JAPAN (bottom caption). Under the headline, illustrate a detailed retro line-art street scene in muted beige, black ink, and restrained red accents: a straight tram-lined city street receding in one-point perspective, flanked by low Japanese storefronts with vertical shop signs, lanterns, awnings, overhead power lines, traffic lights, a red post box, bicycles, pedestrians, and two cars driving along the road. In the background, show a broad brown mountain rising behind the town, topped by a tall observation tower and a smaller red tower, evoking Mount Hakodate. Use crisp architectural pen-and-ink outlines, minimal flat color, nostalgic Showa-era graphic design, travel-guide poster aesthetics, clean centered layout, and no photorealism.37:T52b,

A polished Japanese anime theatrical movie poster in vertical one-sheet format, painted with high-end cinematic detail and luminous natural lighting. The composition features exactly 6 youths arranged in a dramatic ensemble portrait against a bright blue sky with soft clouds, distant white birds, reflective water, lush green foliage in the foreground, and a partially overgrown futuristic eco-city ruin on the left background, blending nature and advanced science. At the top center, two main characters stand back-to-back as the visual anchor: on the left, a tall teenage boy with messy short white hair, pale skin, a calm serious expression, and a white lab coat over a shirt and tie, shown in side profile facing left; on the right, a tall teenage girl with black hair in a neat bun, pale skin, a composed expression, and a dark school-uniform-inspired outfit with a white collar and ribbon at the neck, shown in side profile facing right.

Use warm rim light and soft atmospheric glow, with subtle lens bloom and painterly highlights to create a hopeful, contemplative mood. Include Japanese poster typography integrated into the design: a vertical tagline on the upper left reading "その選択が、未来の景色を変える。", a vertical tagline on the upper right reading "自然と、科学と、心をつなぐ旅へ。", small text above the title reading "劇場アニメーション映画", a large glowing main title near the lower center reading "エコテイクノート (film title)", a subtitle below it reading "― 未来への選択 ― (subtitle text)", exactly 3 award laurels arranged in a row beneath the title with small Japanese festival text inside each, a row of exactly 6 character name labels near the bottom above the credits, dense small Japanese credit lines across the bottom, social and website text in very small print, and a large release date at the lower right reading "8.22 FRI (release date)" with a smaller line below reading "全国ロードショー".
