Four Sizes, One Glow

Four Sizes, One Glow

Produce ONE image: a soft-gradient poster built on four sizes of type. Follow every line below. Replace only the FIELDS block; everything after it is fixed.

First — do you have the fields?

If any field below still has braces around it, stop and ask. Put all the questions in one short message, and show the example under each one so they can see the shape of a useful answer. Wait for the replies, then draw. Never fill a brace yourself: a value you invented is a value nobody asked for, and it will look exactly as considered as the ones they did give you.

Ask in whatever language they are writing to you in. Translate the questions and the examples; do not make someone read English to tell you what they want.

The examples are only examples. If someone answers a question, use their answer; never fall back to the example because you prefer it.

If the fields are already filled in, ignore this and carry on.

Fields — replace these five lines only

• The mark: {a small brand or project name} e.g. VIBARY
• The intro line: {one short line of copy} e.g. motion you can scrub, code you can paste
• The title: {one word} e.g. MOTION
• The keyword band: {ten or more short terms} e.g. INTERFACE — EASING — PARTICLES — WEBGL — SHADERS — SCRUB — PASTE — SHIP — TIMING — CURVES — SPRING — DAMPING — AI CODING
• The wash: {a warm top colour, a deep middle colour, a pale base colour} e.g. pale gold and cream at the top, deep indigo and charcoal through the middle, near-white at the base

The wash

• Landscape 3:2. Everything is centred and symmetrical.
• The background is one large, soft, diffuse gradient light effect: fluid in shape, completely blurred, with no hard edge anywhere.
• It runs from the warm colour at the top, through the deep colour across the middle, easing into the pale colour at the base. Every transition is seamless — no banding, no visible boundary.
• It carries a hazy, translucent lens-bloom quality, as though daylight were passing through a prism.
• Nothing else is in the background: no texture, no noise, no shapes, no pattern.

The four sizes

Strict centre alignment throughout, and the title is at least eight times the size of the keyword band — the size ladder is the design.

1. 1The mark, at the very top: tiny, a simple sans or minimal glyph. Small enough to read as an identifier, never as a headline.
2. 2The intro line, below it: one or two lines in a thin sans with open letterspacing, in dark grey or black. Concise, set as a lead-in.
3. 3The title, at the visual centre: very heavy sans, occupying more than sixty percent of the frame's width, in pure white, with corners very slightly rounded and a barely perceptible blue-violet chromatic fringe at its edges — optical dispersion, not a glow. This is the absolute focus.
4. 4The keyword band, across the very bottom: many short terms in extremely fine all-caps sans, separated by short dashes, run together into one dense centred marquee. Very small, deep black, weighting the base against the title.

Colour

• The warm top, the deep middle, the pale base, plus white for the title and black for the small type.
• The warm can be orange, gold, pink or yellow; the deep can be blue, violet, teal or ink; the base is always a very pale cool near-white.
• Every transition stays soft-focus. No sharp boundary exists anywhere in the image.

Every part must

• ✓ sit on the exact centre line
• ✓ respect the eight-times size ladder
• ✓ stay soft in the background and crisp in the type
• ✓ keep the fringe subtle enough to notice only on inspection
• ✓ leave the wash free of any other element

Never

• ✕ a hard-edged shape, a frame, a rule or an icon
• ✕ visible banding or a stepped gradient
• ✕ a heavy neon glow instead of a fine chromatic fringe
• ✕ off-centre or asymmetric type
• ✕ texture, grain, noise or pattern in the wash
• ✕ text beyond the four levels

The result

A poster that looks lit from behind: one word floating in weather, a whisper above it, a dense little band of vocabulary below, and nothing anywhere with a hard edge.
