Rim-Lit and Lettered

Rim-Lit and Lettered

Produce ONE image: a wide commercial poster, a rim-lit object on one side and large type on the other. 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 six lines only

• The subject: {what this poster is for} e.g. Vibary's launch key visual
• The thing on the left: {the object, its material, and how it is held or placed} e.g. a hand holding a small matte-black tablet showing a motion timeline mid-scrub, a thin brass ring on one finger, the screen's own glow catching the fingertips
• The two title lines: {an upper line and a lower line} e.g. MAKE IT / MOVE
• The pill tag: {a short label — a year, an offer, a claim} e.g. 2026 RELEASE
• The script word and small print: {one handwritten word, and one short supporting line} e.g. script: designed — small print: scrub it, paste it, ship it
• The colours and the footer: {the dark gradient, the warm accent, and a name and year for the footer} e.g. deep charcoal-to-indigo gradient with a warm amber rim and amber accents — footer: VIBARY.AI on the left, 2026 on the right

The frame

• Wide landscape, spread-format.
• Background: a dark gradient — deep browns, charcoals, oxbloods, inks — deepening from the centre outward. Smooth, with no texture, noise or pattern.
• Strong tonal contrast: the shadows stay deep without going muddy, the highlights stay bright without blowing out.

The subject

• The photographed object occupies the left side, roughly forty percent of the frame.
• It is lit with a warm rim light: a bright edge of amber, gold-brown or oxblood tracing its outline where it meets the dark ground. This is the single most important instruction.
• Its material is rendered truthfully — the grain of leather, the cold reflection of metal, the softness of cloth, the translucency of wax, the sheen of glass, whatever the field names.
• It is photographic, never illustrated, and never cut out with a hard edge.

The type

• The remaining right-hand sixty percent belongs to the title.
• Two lines, in very heavy sans, stacked with the second line offset horizontally from the first.
• Pure white or a very light bright, with a barely perceptible gradient across the letter faces to keep them from going flat.
• A rounded pill tag overlaps one of the title's letters, filled in the warm accent, holding the tag text in small white bold.
• A small handwritten script word threads into the empty space inside or between the title lines, in the same warm accent.
• Beside the script, a line of very small pale grey sans — about a fifteenth of the title's size — carrying the small print.

The footer

• A hairline rule across the very bottom of the frame.
• Below or on it: the name at the left, the year at the right, both small, pale grey.

Colour

• A dark warm-toned gradient ground; white for the title; one saturated warm accent used for the rim light, the pill tag and the script word — the same colour in all three places.
• Pale grey for the small print and footer. Nothing else.

Every part must

• ✓ keep the rim light warm, and on the same side throughout
• ✓ render its material honestly
• ✓ keep the accent to exactly one colour across rim, tag and script
• ✓ hold the two-column balance — object left, type right
• ✓ stay legible against the dark

Never

• ✕ a light or white background
• ✕ a second accent colour, or a cool rim light
• ✕ an illustrated or cut-out subject with a hard edge
• ✕ the title on one line, or the two lines aligned flush
• ✕ texture, noise, grain or pattern in the gradient
• ✕ text beyond the title, tag, script, small print and footer

The result

A poster that looks lit rather than composed: one real object edged in warm light, a title big enough to read from across a room, and a small handwritten word doing the work of a paragraph.
