Greyscale Three-Band Cover

Greyscale editorial cover in three zones — a stack of tiny credits, a title broken apart with italic notes in the gaps, and a heavy word sitting on a white slab over black. Five fields.

Tide Office

We made two examples: an editorial cover for a vibe-coding library, and a sea-level report for a tide office. Both have three zones, hairline credits, an italic aside in the gap and one heavy word on a torn slab.

The three zones stay divided by clear rules, the title breaks and offsets with the italic aside in the gap, and the white slab carries the heavy word above a torn black edge. Sometimes the keyword line and its smaller echo come back as the same text twice, and the arcs bunch in one corner; if so, generate again. The greyscale, the three type weights and the torn slab always hold. Check that the broken title says what you want.

Greyscale Three-Band Cover

What this makes

Greyscale editorial cover in three zones — a stack of tiny credits, a title broken apart with italic notes in the gaps, and a heavy word sitting on a white slab over black. Five fields.

The whole template, in one piece. The steps below are the entire workflow.

How to use it

  1. Copy the whole template with the button above.
  2. Replace the five FIELDS lines. Write the italic notes as asides in brackets — they read as marginalia, not as copy.
  3. Paste it into any image-capable agent or model, in one message. One run returns the cover.
  4. Keep all five zones and change only the words to run a catalogue series that stays recognisable across issues.

Before it runs

  • A title that survives being broken apart. Two short words split across two offset lines is the shape this layout wants.
  • Real credits for the top stack — a role, a date range, a keyword list. Padding it with filler shows immediately at that size.
  • Commitment to greyscale. One colour anywhere and the whole editorial register collapses.

When to reach for it

Exhibition catalogues, studio monographs, portfolio covers that want to look like a publication rather than a poster. The heavy slab at the base is what stops all that restraint reading as timid.

What changes

  • A finished 2:3 cover with a strict three-zone structure: small credits at the top, a broken title in the middle, one heavy word at the base.
  • The title is split and offset line by line, with small italic notes tucked into the gaps between its parts.
  • The base carries a white block holding a very heavy word, with a black block rising from the page edge beneath it.
  • Faint grey texture panels and two or three hairline curves sit under everything, adding depth without adding noise.
  • Weight does all the work: hairline credits, medium title, ultra-heavy base word, in greyscale throughout.
