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.
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.
Marketing Campaign
Ad-ready imagery: clear product or message hierarchy, space reserved for copy and logos, and a polished commercial finish.
