Mixed-Media Pop

An engine-agnostic style recipe: a wide hero, proof shots across subjects, and a portable prompt.

Prompt template
A single {subject} made as a mixed-media collage: layered cut construction paper, translucent cellophane and polyethylene film, strips of glossy tape, crinkled foil accents, round sticker dots, torn paper edges. Vivid palette — {palette}. One centered object, isolated on a plain flat light-grey background, soft even studio light, NO cast shadow, no text, no letters, no logos, no border. Bright, clean, tactile pop-art paper-craft aesthetic.
Slot recipes
hero — a dense corner-anchored cluster of collage objects relevant to the product story, composed to leave clear copy space; or a single large story object (vehicle, tool) bleeding off one edge
feature — one object per feature, the SAME physical technique across all (paper+film+tape+foil+dots), centered, generous margin
avatar — a single collage face/bust, shoulders up, torn-edge silhouette
empty-state — one small quiet object (a folded note, a single cloud) at 40% the usual presence, low saturation
illustration — scene built from 2-4 cutout objects on the page itself — no background panel; objects tuck behind UI paper surfaces where they meet copy
