Join the Fun: Tokaigakuen University Digital Story Contest!

Prompt

reate an A3 portrait poster (297 mm × 420 mm at 300 DPI, CMYK, vector style) to promote the “Tokaigakuen University Digital Story Contest.” The audience is Japanese university students (years 1–4). The design needs two CTAs via QR codes: one for “Enter” and one for “Vote.” Example ideas attached. 1. Text (in English): – Primary (top-third, large, brush-style handwritten font, ~80 pt): “Tokaigakuen University Digital Story Contest” – Secondary (below primary, medium, cursive brush-style, ~48 pt): “Theme: Blue” – Tertiary (three columns under the secondary, ~32 pt, sans-serif): • “Divisions: Photo Story, Essay, Zine” • “Submission Deadline: Sept 16 – Sept 22” • “Voting Deadline: Sept 25 – Sept 29” – Prizes (in a small list under tertiary, ~24 pt, sans-serif): • “1st: ¥10,000 2nd: ¥7,000 3rd: ¥5,000 Overall: ¥15,000” – CTA 1 (bottom-left corner, ~20 pt, bold, inside a pastel-green rounded badge): “Enter Here ▶ QR Code” – CTA 2 (bottom-right corner, ~20 pt, bold, inside a pastel-blue rounded badge): “Vote Here ▶ QR Code” 2. Visual Style & Mood: – Vibe: Energetic, kawaii, fun, playful. – Color Palette: Pastel blues ( #87CEEB, #ADD8E6), mint green ( #98FF98), and light teal ( #66CDAA). – Typography: Handwritten/brush-stroke style for headings; legible sans-serif for tertiary and prize details. – Imagery: Photographic collage of student activities (reading, sketching, holding a camera). Overlay hand-drawn doodles: pens, open books, speech bubbles, small sakura petals. – Abstract Shapes: Rounded blobs behind text blocks (semi-transparent mint or pastel blue). – Background: A light “sky blue” gradient (very subtle) with a faint polka-dot texture—no heavy gradients or dark tones. 3. Layout & Composition: – Top 1/3: Contest title centered horizontally, spanning 80 % of the width. – Middle 1/3: Collage grid (3 × 3 photo thumbnails, each 50 mm × 50 mm, evenly spaced), centered. Behind the collage, a large semi-transparent circular brush stroke in pastel teal. – Under Photos: Tertiary text arranged in three evenly-spaced columns across the width (each column ~80 mm wide), left-aligned within its column. – Bottom 1/3: • Left: “Enter Here ▶ QR Code” badge, flush 10 mm from left & bottom edges. • Right: “Vote Here ▶ QR Code” badge, flush 10 mm from right & bottom edges. • Center (just above CTAs): Prize list in a small sans-serif box with a thin mint-green border. 4. Technical Specifications: – Resolution: 300 DPI, A3 (297 mm × 420 mm) portrait. – Color Mode: CMYK, no spot colors. – Vector Style: All text, doodles, and shapes should be vector outlines. – Margins: 5 mm margin all around for office-printer bleed. 5. Exclusions / Negative Prompts: – No heavy drop-shadows, no neon colors, no dark or muted backgrounds. – Do not use realistic photographs of people (if people appear, use silhouettes or stylized photos). – No clip art or stock-photo filters. Keep everything bright, flat, and kawaii. 6. Variations: – Variation A: More emphasis on photographic collage—use nine photos in a grid, fewer doodles. – Variation B: More emphasis on kawaii illustration—hand-drawn photos framed by doodles, only four thumbnails. – Variation C: Balanced mix—five photos in a circular arrangement, doodles scattered around.
