Final Prompt Used

Use case: illustration-story
Asset type: year-by-year sports history collection image
Primary request: Create a fun, entertaining cartoon-style editorial illustration for the 2018 Super Bowl: Philadelphia Eagles vs New England Patriots. Clearly show that Philadelphia Eagles won the game.

Scene/backdrop: a lively exaggerated football stadium scene inspired by the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, packed with energy, confetti, bright lights, scoreboard drama, and fans reacting to the game.

Subject: show the matchup between Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots using real team logos, real team uniforms, real helmet designs, Super Bowl branding from that year, football action, and game-specific props. Include visual references to these key moments: The Philly Special, Graham's Strip-Sack, Offensive Explosion, and Underdog Triumph.

Winner text requirement: include clear readable text in the image that says:
"Philadelphia Eagles WIN"

Optional context text: include a small readable scoreboard or stadium sign with:
"Philadelphia Eagles 41 - New England Patriots 33"

Style/medium: colorful polished sports cartoon, editorial comic style, bold outlines, expressive players and fans, dynamic action, humorous but respectful, highly detailed and easy to understand at web size.

Composition/framing: wide landscape image, one unified scene rather than separate panels, central action moment with supporting mini-scenes worked naturally into the stadium environment. Keep the winner message readable and prominent without covering the action.

Lighting/mood: bright championship-night atmosphere, stadium floodlights, celebratory confetti, energetic crowd, dramatic sports-magazine excitement.

Color palette: use the real team colors, real uniform colors, and year-specific Super Bowl visual palette. Keep colors bright, varied, and readable.

Text constraints: only include short readable text that supports the image: winner label, final score, year, and possibly the Super Bowl number. Keep text large, high-contrast, correctly spelled, and integrated naturally into scoreboards, banners, signs, or confetti screens.

Avoid: photorealism, cluttered caption rows, tiny unreadable text, distorted lettering, gore, injuries, or mean-spirited caricature. Keep the whole image in a clearly cartoon/editorial illustration style even when using real logos, uniforms, and year-specific game imagery.
