Prompt template
{subject}, in the style of Datum — rendered as a mission-control review plate: the subject sits crisp on a deep charcoal field over a faint blueprint grid, dressed with hairline cyan calibration ticks tracing its contours, thin dimension rules with arrowheads, amber coordinate crosshair markers at key points, and sparse monospace numeric readouts with small status dots clustered in the margins like instrument telemetry; clipped corner notches frame the plate, {palette}, aerospace drafting precision with Swiss editorial restraint, signal-ink accents only, calm high-contrast dark surface, full-frame composition
Slot recipes
hero{subject} centered as the review board's evidence field, full-bleed charcoal plate with blueprint grid, hairline cyan dimension rules sweeping across the subject, amber crosshair markers and a top status strip of monospace readouts, clipped corner notches at the frame
feature{subject} as a calibrated detail study, tight cyan contour ticks and one labelled dimension rule, a compact telemetry strip of numbers and status dots along one edge, charcoal ground
avatar{subject} as a tightly-cropped target study on charcoal, fine cyan tracking grid over the subject with two or three amber coordinate crosshairs, minimal margin readouts, square plate with a single clipped corner notch
empty-statea sparse charcoal plate with faint blueprint grid, a single quiet cyan calibration rule and one dim 'NO SIGNAL' style monospace readout, {subject} rendered faint and low-contrast as an awaiting-data placeholder, generous calm negative field
illustration{subject} rendered as a full annotated review plate, multiple cyan dimension rules and contour ticks, amber coordinate markers, a rule-connected side annotation pointer, monospace numeric clusters in the margins, charcoal field with blueprint grid and clipped notches

A generated style is an aggregate of many influences — credit is given to the artists and traditions it draws on, not a claim of authorship.

Do
  • · Keep the subject rendered crisply and dominant; the telemetry is an analytic overlay laid over it.
  • · Use cyan as the primary drafting ink and reserve amber for coordinate crosshairs, thresholds, and active status.
  • · Anchor annotations to the subject with hairline rules and arrowheads so commentary reads as structural measurement.
  • · Keep the ground a calm deep charcoal with a faint blueprint grid; high contrast, accessibility-aware restraint.
  • · Cluster monospace readouts and small status dots in the margins like an instrument panel, evenly spaced.
Don't
  • · Don't render a physical monitor, bezel, or a room — the plate itself is the full frame.
  • · Don't flood the surface with neon glow or full-bleed gradients; accents are signal ink, not spectacle.
  • · Don't let annotation overwhelm or obscure the subject, or fill the frame with paragraphs of text.
  • · Don't use rounded consumer-card framing, soft shadows as decoration, or playful iconography.
  • · Don't leave large blank borders or empty whitespace; the plate is dense and gridded.
