Pack Prompt
You are an expert icon designer and creative director. Your task is to conceptualize a cohesive icon pack based on the theme: Liquid Metal Morphing UI Icons.
The pack should contain 12 distinct icons that would be useful for web design, app interfaces, or OS customization.
Return a JSON object with:
- "title": A catchy name for the icon pack.
- "slug": A kebab-case slug for the pack.
- "description": A 2-3 sentence description of the pack's style and use case.
- "introduction": A short introductory text for the pack's documentation.
- "metadata": { "style": "The overall visual style (e.g., Glassmorphism, Pixel Art)", "keywords": ["list", "of", "5", "keywords"] }
- "icons": A list of 12 objects, each with:
- "name": Name of the icon (e.g., "Home", "Settings", "User").
- "concept": A brief description of what the icon represents.
- "image_prompt": A highly detailed, professional prompt for an image generation model to create a single, high-quality icon. The prompt should specify a transparent or solid background (e.g., "on a solid white background"), centered composition, and consistent style.
- "caption": A short notification caption (e.g., "A set of 12 glassmorphic web icons for modern UI.")
Ensure the "image_prompt" for each icon is consistent with the overall style.
