## Prompt

```text
Goal: Create a vintage illustrated front page of a personalized expedition newspaper for a family trip, titled {newspaper_title}, with a warm 1950s adventure-comic look and aged paper texture.

Canvas: Vertical newspaper page, approximately 4:5 ratio, cream newsprint background with subtle speckles, black ink borders, muted teal, orange, yellow, and red accents. Use bold woodblock-style serif typography for headlines and hand-inked editorial illustration shading.

Top masthead: Large dark teal rectangle with golden serif title text reading “THE VOLKOV EXPEDITION TIMES.” Under it, an orange ribbon banner reading {edition_banner}. Add a small airplane icon on the left flying through a sunset sky. Below the ribbon, centered subheadline reads “Day 1 Fruth Page — LIFTOFF!” and a small dateline line reads “Wednesday, July 15, 2026 • Vol. 40, No. 1.”

Main headline: Huge all-caps black newspaper headline across the page: {main_headline}

Main illustration: A large framed comic-style scene inside an airplane cabin. Show exactly 4 family members seated or standing by the airplane windows: 1 blonde little girl in a red-and-white striped shirt, denim shorts, and pink clogs standing at the window with one hand raised; 1 curly-haired little boy in a navy shirt, light shorts, and green clogs leaning toward the window; 1 smiling adult man with short brown hair, beard, glasses, navy shirt, tan shorts, sandals, pointing excitedly out the window while holding a small newspaper; 1 smiling adult woman with long black hair, denim shirt dress, brown belt, and cowboy boots seated beside him holding the same newspaper. Through the large airplane window, show snowy mountain peaks, blue water, clouds, and a clearly visible red Golden Gate Bridge in the distance, mixing travel landmarks in a whimsical way. The airplane interior should include blue seats, window frames, cabin wall panels, and warm sunlight.

Bottom information boxes: Include exactly 3 lower content areas. First box on the left titled “TODAY’S MISSION,” dark green header, with text: “TODAY’S MISSION: Spot 3 sea lions napping at Pier 39. Bark once (quietly) in their honor.” Add a small sea lion illustration. Second box on the right titled “MY WEATHER/LOG,” orange header, with a cheerful sun icon and a form-like weather report that says “MY WEATHER REPORT — Denver this morning:” followed by blank lines for temperature, San Francisco, and fog yes/no. Third box spans the bottom in dark green and contains exactly 2 fact blurbs separated by a vertical line: left blurb with a circular “DID YOU KNOW?” badge and a small bird/wing icon, reading “Jets cruise 35,000 feet up — that’s 6 miles above your house!”; right blurb with a sourdough bread illustration, reading “And San Francisco’s famous sourdough bread comes from a ‘mother dough’ that bakers have kept alive since 1849.”

Footer: Small centered footer with a tiny bus icon and text “Day 1 • Page 1.”

Constraints: Keep all text legible and arranged like a printed newspaper front page. Use exactly 4 people, exactly 3 lower content areas, exactly 2 fact blurbs, exactly 1 airplane icon, exactly 1 sea lion illustration, exactly 1 sun icon, exactly 1 sourdough bread illustration, and exactly 1 tiny bus icon. Do not add extra panels, extra characters, logos, watermarks, QR codes, or modern UI elements.
