Puffed Up and Glowing

Puffed Up and Glowing

Produce ONE image: an inflated 3D type poster in deep space. 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 subject: {what this poster is for} e.g. Vibary's launch season
• The title: {one short phrase} e.g. MAKE IT MOVE
• The corner number: {a year or an edition number} e.g. 2026
• The trinkets: {four or five small themed objects} e.g. cursor arrows, a keyframe diamond, a ribbon curve, a small play wedge, a geometric burst patch
• The colours: {a base colour, two or three clash accents, and the background gradient} e.g. bright blue as the base with fluorescent pink, lemon yellow and mint as clash accents, over a violet-to-black starfield

The frame

• Portrait 4:5. Centred, symmetrical, balanced on the golden section.
• Background: a deep starfield gradient running from a saturated version of the base colour at the edges into pure black at the centre, with fine white speckles scattered across it like deep space.
• The title occupies roughly sixty-five percent of the frame. It is unambiguously the subject of the image.

The type

• Every character is inflated — puffed into three dimensions, bulbous, rounded, with no sharp corners on the forms themselves.
• Letterforms are deliberately mixed: a rounded handwritten character beside a pixel-block character beside a decorated or object-shaped one. The shared material is what holds them together, not a shared typeface.
• Each character is ringed by two or three stacked outlines in descending tones of the same family, with the outermost stroke in a bright saturated version of the base colour.
• The extruded sides fall into a darker shade of the base colour.
• Surfaces are smooth glossy plastic or jelly: bright, wet-looking, clearly reflective.
• Frosted, semi-transparent rounded capsule highlight bars lie across the letter faces, adding translucency.

The starbursts

• Two sharp-pointed starbursts, mirrored left and right of the title.
• Filled with a high-saturation clashing gradient — pink into blue, or the equivalent from the colour field.
• Their edges are crisp and hard, in deliberate contrast to the soft inflated type.

The trinkets

• Four or five small themed objects scattered around the title, every one rendered in the same inflated 3D material as the type.
• Uneven placement, varied sizes, tilted — scattered but not cluttered.
• None may be large enough to compete with the title.

The corner tile

• Lower right: a flip-calendar tile, layered like a real board that turns, carrying the number from the field.
• Bold deep-blue numerals on a blue-to-white gradient board with a dimensional edge.

Colour and light

• High-saturation Y2K acid clash: one base colour running light to dark for the dimensional shading, plus two or three fluorescent clash accents, plus white as a fill.
• Soft frontal studio key light with neon rim light from the sides. Highlights concentrate on the upper part of every form; shadow pools at the bases and where elements overlap.
• Every element carries a soft outer glow, like neon bleeding into the air.
• Edges are smooth and round. Nothing is aliased, nothing is flat.

Every part must

• ✓ be inflated and rendered in the same material
• ✓ keep its stacked outlines and its dark extruded side
• ✓ glow softly at its edges
• ✓ leave the title dominant
• ✓ sit inside the stated colour clash

Never

• ✕ flat vector shapes, matte finishes, or 2D elements among the 3D
• ✕ a photographic background, a real scene, or a texture photograph
• ✕ sharp corners on the letterforms themselves
• ✕ trinkets large enough to rival the title
• ✕ muted, pastel or desaturated colour
• ✕ text beyond the title and the corner number

The result

A poster that looks like the words were moulded, chromed and dropped into orbit — loud enough to stop a scroll, and built so a whole season can be run through the same frame.
