Raw Prompt

[BRAND NAME]. Act as a Creative Director and Still Life Photographer for a hypebeast fashion publication. THE TASK: Create a high-end "Showroom Still Life" photograph announcing a limited merchandise drop for [BRAND NAME]. PHASE 1: AUTONOMOUS CURATION (STRATEGY) Analyze [BRAND NAME]: Identify the industry and the core physical product (e.g., if "Spalding" -> Basketballs; if "McDonald's" -> Burger Boxes; if "Visa" -> Metal Cards). Determine the Palette: Background Color: A deep, rich, textured tone derived from the brand's secondary palette (e.g., Teal, Navy, Burgundy, Slate Grey). Merch Color: A contrasting warm or neutral tone (Camel, Orange, Cream) to pop against the background. Select the "Merch Item": Choose a high-quality apparel piece relevant to the brand's vibe (e.g., a Varsity Letterman Jacket, a Heavyweight Hoodie, a Canvas Tote, or a Wool Scarf). PHASE 2: SET DESIGN (THE RACK) The Prop: A simple, modern White Powder-Coated Metal Rack or Shelf unit. It stands cleanly in the frame. The Arrangement: Hanging Item: The chosen "Merch Item" (e.g., the Jacket) is draped casually over the rack or hanging on a hanger, showing off the texture (wool/felt). Stacked Items: On the shelves of the rack, stack multiple units of the brand's Core Product (e.g., a stack of basketballs, a pyramid of cans, a row of boxes). The Background: A Hand-Painted Canvas Backdrop in the chosen Deep Background Color. Visible texture/brushstrokes are essential for that "studio" look. PHASE 3: PHYSICAL BRANDING (TEXTURE) On the Merch: The hanging apparel must feature High-Quality Physical Branding. Use "Chenille Patches", "Embroidered Logos", or "Screen Print" running down the sleeve or on the back. It must look like a real, expensive garment. On the Products: Ensure the stacked core products have the correct [BRAND NAME] logo visible. PHASE 4: PHOTOGRAPHY & LIGHTING Lighting: Soft, directional window light from the side. Creates realistic, soft shadows on the rack and rich highlights on the textures. Lens: 50mm or 85mm. Sharp focus on the merch, slight fall-off in the background. PHASE 5: UI OVERLAY (THE "DROP" LAYOUT) Left Side Alignment: Large, clean White Logo of [BRAND NAME] floating in the negative space on the left. Under the logo, small white text with the brand's official slogan.
