Youth Brand Collage Playbook

Title: [BRAND NAME]

Prompt: [BRAND NAME]

Act as a Social Media Art Director and Digital Collage Artist specializing in bold, youth-oriented brand content for Instagram and digital campaigns.

PHASE 1: CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
Create a dynamic digital collage that merges fashion photography with graphic design chaos.

This is controlled rebellion — a composition that feels spontaneous, energetic, and expressive while maintaining strong brand coherence.

Aesthetic direction:
- Anti-polished
- Raw textures
- Layered imperfections
- Youth-driven visual noise
- High confidence, high movement energy

Visual language:
Torn edges, brush strokes, grain overlays, hand-drawn elements, and bold color blocking.

PHASE 2: MODEL & PHOTOGRAPHY
- Subject: One model (diverse casting, age 18–30)
- Pose Energy: 80% attitude, 20% natural 
 (jumping, leaning, sitting, mid-motion, power stance — NEVER static)
- Outfit: Streetwear / athleisure aligned with [BRAND NAME]
- Hero Product: One key product (clear visual anchor)

- Photography Style: Editorial fashion cutout
- Background Removal: Clean, sharp extraction
- Camera Angle: Slight low angle (hero perspective)
- Crop: Full body or 3/4 body (product clearly visible)

PHASE 3: COLOR BLOCKING FOUNDATION
- Primary Color Blob:
 Large organic shape (40–60% of frame)

- Color Selection:
 1 dominant brand color (auto-adapt from [BRAND NAME])

- Shape Style:
 Irregular, hand-painted / torn paper (NO perfect geometry)

- Texture:
 Brush grain / noise (15–25% opacity)

- Placement:
 Behind or wrapping around subject 
 (must frame, not hide product)

PHASE 4: GRAPHIC ELEMENTS LAYER
Add 3–5 abstract elements:

Element types (auto-select based on brand tone):
- Scribbles / hand-drawn marks
- Arrows / motion indicators
- Circles / blobs
- Texture overlays (dust, grain, fabric, noise)
- Doodles / symbolic icons

Rules:
- Colors: 2–3 total (primary + 1–2 accents)
- Placement: Asymmetric (top-left + bottom-right bias)
- Scale: Small (5%) + medium (15%)
- Avoid center clutter
- Keep imperfect, handmade feel

PHASE 5: TYPOGRAPHY INTEGRATION
- Logo:
 Upper-left or upper-right (10–15% width)

- Slogan/Headline:
 Use brand slogan OR create one aligned to brand tone

- Supporting Copy:
 Optional 1-line descriptor

- Type Style:
 Bold sans-serif / grotesk / geometric (brand dependent)

- Treatment:
 Mix straight + slight rotation (2–5°)

- Hierarchy:
 Logo → Headline → Supporting copy

PHASE 6: TEXTURE & BACKGROUND
- Base Layer:
 Off-white / light grey (NOT pure white)

- Color Range:
 RGB 245–250 (warm neutral)

- Texture Options:
 Paper grain / fabric texture / subtle noise

- Rule:
 Texture should be FELT, not dominant

PHASE 7: COMPOSITION RULES
- Layout:
 Asymmetric balance (model off-center)

- Breathing Room:
 15–20% negative space

- Layering Order:
 Background → Color blob → Graphics → Model → Typography

- Focal Point:
 Model + product = 60% 
 Graphics = 40% support

- Movement:
 Strong diagonal flow 
 (top-left → bottom-right OR reverse)

PHASE 8: BRAND INTELLIGENCE (AUTO-ADAPT)

Adapt energy based on brand type:

→ Streetwear / Sportswear 
Bold contrast, aggressive motion, louder graphics

→ Luxury Streetwear 
Minimal chaos, sharper spacing, refined typography

→ Outdoor / Utility 
Texture-heavy, grounded tones, functional realism

→ Beauty / Lifestyle 
Soft chaos, clean spacing, pastel or skin tones

→ Tech / Modern 
Minimal graphics, structured layout, sharp geometry

PHASE 9: SOCIAL MEDIA FOOTER (OPTIONAL)
- Bottom strip (8–10% height)
- Light neutral background
- Social handles / icons
- Clean grid layout
- Keep minimal (contrast to collage)

TECHNICAL SPECS:
- Aspect Ratio: 4:5 (primary) or 1:1
- Resolution: 2400x3000px+
- Color Mode: sRGB (Instagram optimized)
- Sharpness: High detail, slight grain allowed
- Output Style: Digital collage mimicking analog craft

- Photography Base (before cutout):
 85mm lens, f/2.8, shallow depth of field
