  "sharedPrompt": "Create ONE finished Instagram Reel cover image, vertical 9:16, ideally 1080x1920. It is one of eight different art-direction proposals for a 30-lesson series teaching nontechnical designers to build products with Claude and Codex. Generate the full designed raster artwork, including restrained editorial typography. It must look art-directed, composed, tactile, and aesthetically sophisticated. The image must be the focal point, not typography. Main subject occupies roughly the middle 40\u201376% of height and has a meaningful silhouette. Use natural-looking materials/light rather than digital decorative effects. Keep all essential subject and text within the central 4:5 crop (15\u201385% of image height). Exact text only: headline \"Designer to product\" in a refined moderate-size typeface, two lines if necessary, about 6\u20137% of image width; small supporting text \"with Claude + Codex\"; tiny footer \"01 / 30\". The lesson number is small secondary metadata, never the hero. No other text, no mock interface chrome, no explanatory paragraphs. No faces, no brushes, no scribbles, no sparkles, no logos, no oversized numbers, no worksheets, no flowcharts, no hairline-divider grids, no infographic. Do not render a website screenshot. This is an original image concept, not imitation of an artist or copied reference.",

These three forms are visibly fitting into one functional sculpture, a metaphor for designing a thing and making it work. No random scattered objects. Low three-quarter camera, tightly composed central assembly, asymmetry balanced by the cast shadow. A cool grey cyclorama, raking late-afternoon sunlight, crisp sculptural shadows, subtle machining details, real material imperfections. Quiet warm orange/red accent only. Put the modest charcoal headline in clear space above the sculpture; footer near 81% height. The crop of the aluminium frame is a deliberate visual device; avoid a generic still-life of balls or arches.",

Off-axis perspective, low eye-level view through the architecture; strong foreground/background layering, a cut-out rectangle of daylight falling diagonally across a cool mineral background.

The cursor moves into the fold like it is turning a sketch into a physical product. Use controlled scale contrast, sharp cut edges, precise alignment within an expressive asymmetry.

The lens makes the prototype become precise, a metaphor for turning design intent into something real.
