Style Notes
- Illustration
- Hand-drawn or digital-painting aesthetics — visible strokes, stylized shapes and colors, deliberately not photoreal.
- Vintage Print
- Aged print artifacts — grain, halftone dots, faded inks, retro typefaces — evoking mid-century posters and old magazines.
- Food & Drink
- Appetite-first styling: glistening textures, steam or condensation cues, warm light, shallow depth of field on the hero dish.
- Cute & Playful
- Rounded shapes, big eyes, candy palettes, and toy-like proportions — the visual language of mascots and sticker packs.
- Texture Rich
- Surfaces carry the image — weave, grain, roughness rendered up close; often combined with macro or close-up framing.
- Blog Illustration
- Editorial spot art: a clear concept metaphor, friendly palette, and enough negative space to sit beside an article headline.
- Social Media Post
- Composition and aspect ratio tuned for feeds (Instagram, X, Xiaohongshu): bold focal subject, room for overlay text, colors that survive small screens.
