Construct the supplied subject entirely from large flat edge-meeting planes of matte pigment. This is a complete color-field reconstruction, not a flattened filter placed over the source. Preserve recognizable subject matter, object relationships, viewpoint, and broad composition when an input image is present, but retain none of its material, texture, lighting, or shading; rebuild rather than filter or trace it. Discard all source texture, small surface detail, and continuous tone so every visible area belongs to one uniformly opaque geometric field. Define every form with crisp geometric boundaries and clean silhouettes, using no contour outline. Build all depth through adjacency, scale, and abrupt value changes, with no blended shading. Map the supplied palette to a few saturated fields, reserving the highest-chroma role for one controlled focal plane. Arrange the planes in an asymmetric full-frame color-field composition with deliberate negative intervals; introduce no decorative shape that is unrelated to the supplied subject or its negative space. Keep every surface uniformly opaque and every junction precisely hard-edged. Avoid brush texture, gradients, shadows, retained source-medium marks, photorealistic detail, text, and logos.
Slot recipes
hero — A wide full-frame subject rendered as hard-edge color-field blocking, composed entirely from flat edge-meeting planes of saturated pigment with no outlines and no gradients, large clean color blocks meeting at crisp edges, completely matte and flat, the composition filling the frame edge to edge.
feature — A single centred subject reduced to large flat blocks of saturated pure color meeting at crisp hard edges, no outlines, no gradients, completely matte, the subject filling the frame.
avatar — A single tight subject motif built from a few flat planes of saturated color meeting at clean hard edges, no outlines, no gradients, centred and filling the frame.

Do
· Reduce any subject to large flat planes of saturated pigment that meet at crisp clean edges, letting adjacency and proportion carry the form.
· Keep every plane fully matte and flat — one pure color per shape, no shading inside a plane.
· Fill the frame edge to edge with interlocking color blocks; treat the background as load-bearing planes, not empty space.
· Use a tight set of saturated pigments so the blocks read as deliberate signal.
Don't
· Never draw outlines, contour lines, or black keylines between planes — edges form only where two colors meet.
· Never use gradients, soft edges, blur, shading, drop shadows, or texture inside a plane.
· Never render the medium itself (no picture of paint, a brush, a canvas, or a frame).
· Never include text, numbers, logos, drawn borders, or empty negative space; never let colors go muddy or grey.

empty-state — A single subject reduced to two or three large quiet flat color planes meeting at crisp edges on a calm saturated ground, sparse and clean, no outlines.
illustration — A subject rendered as hard-edge color-field blocking, every shape a flat plane of saturated pigment meeting its neighbour at a crisp clean edge, no outlines and no gradients, adjacency and proportion carrying the form, completely matte, full-frame with no border.
