Minimal Pastel Design — Minimal

[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 Art direction controls: deep cobalt, warm cream, and charcoal, a centered hero composition with deliberate negative space, quiet and editorial.
