## Prompt

```text
Design a visual poster with an Oriental ink animation temperament for 【{subject}】. The overall logic is "heavy ink for structure, light color for atmosphere, negative space for narrative, and edges for breathing." The background has a warm rice paper texture with natural smudging of off-white, light blue-grey, and pale water colors, showing slight paper grain, water marks, and ink diffusion.

Core text is not fixed but intelligently layout based on the subject's movement, gaze, and negative space. Titles can appear anywhere—left, right, top, bottom, diagonally—growing naturally as part of the image rather than appearing like a post-production layout.

The main title acts as a heavy ink visual anchor, guiding the line of sight. The font is handwritten heavy ink calligraphy, with thick, moist, primitive, and irregular strokes, including dry brush effects and smudged edges. It has the handmade feel of children's picture books and Chinese ink animation titles.

Keep moderate negative space in the center, letting characters or objects rest lightly in the paper air. Add light-colored edge elements that change based on the theme, such as 【{edge_elements}】. These elements extend from the outside, showing only partially to create breathing room. Colors appear mainly at edges and corners, keeping the center restrained and clean.

Overall temperament is poetic, childlike, Oriental, warm, and hand-drawn, like a frame from a breathing Chinese ink animation. The design feels sophisticated with heavy ink text as the skeleton and light-colored edges for atmosphere.

Ratio 9:16
