Final Prompt Used

Use case: illustration-story
Asset type: year-by-year news and culture collection image
Primary request: Create a lively illustrated time-capsule montage for the year 2025, showing the major news and pop culture events that defined the year.

Scene/backdrop: a dynamic editorial scene where the year 2025 comes alive as a newspaper front page layout, broadcast studio, or cultural timeline. The scene should feel cohesive, not like disconnected stickers.

Subject: combine these selected events into one unified illustrated montage: Peacekeeping & Diplomatic Summits, Humanoid Robotics Commercialization, Fusion Energy Breakthroughs, Clean Energy Transition Milestones.

Year text requirement: include clear readable text in the image that says:
"2025"

Optional title text: include a short readable title such as:
"YEAR IN REVIEW"

Style/medium: polished cartoon-editorial illustration, bright colors, bold outlines, expressive figures, energetic composition, magazine-quality digital art, fun and informative while still respectful of serious events.

Composition/framing: wide landscape image, one unified montage scene rather than separate panels. Use foreground, midground, and background layers to organize events. Make the biggest 2-3 stories most prominent.

Lighting/mood: vivid year-in-review atmosphere with theatrical editorial lighting, colorful highlights, and clear visual hierarchy.

Color palette: varied and lively, using color to separate story clusters. Avoid a one-note palette.

Text constraints: short readable labels are allowed on newspapers, signs, screens, maps, scoreboards, album-style posters, ticket stubs, banners, or broadcast graphics. Use 1-5 words per label. Keep text high-contrast, correctly spelled, and large enough to read.

Avoid: photorealistic celebrity likenesses, official brand logos, copyrighted character likenesses, graphic violence, gore, exploitative tragedy imagery, cluttered sticker-collage layout, tiny unreadable labels, distorted lettering, fake full article text, and generic stock imagery.
