GENERAL STYLE & MOOD: “Epic Figurative Art.” The prompt requires multi-layered analysis of the user’s provided home screen (articles, headings, used apps, notifications, colors) to condense all “elements” of the year into a single still image. It should be a fusion of philosophical, profound realism and surreal design. TASK & ANALYSIS: Comprehensively scan the text information within the provided home screen to extract frequently used vocabulary, interests, emotional fluctuations, and fragments of daily life. Integrate these “total elements of the year” and select one ultimate “single Kanji character” that symbolizes the user’s journey. Construct the “strokes” of that Kanji character as a three-dimensional collection of concrete events analyzed (e.g., work tools, hobby fragments, motifs from read articles). SUBJECT: The “single Kanji character” embodying the user’s year, centrally positioned. - This character is a “collection of micro-stories.” Upon closer inspection, the parts of the character should be formed by specific objects that colored the user’s year (e.g., designs symbolizing specific news articles, daily tools, fragments of memory). - Maintain perfect readability of the Kanji and ensure it has a strong skeletal structure. ENVIRONMENT & BACKGROUND (The Total Year Narrative): The background should also be depicted not merely as scenery, but as an epic panorama covering “all elements of the year.” - Background composition: Behind the character, the analyzed events of the year should spread out as scenery, either chronologically or thematically (e.g., symbols of challenged projects, the atmosphere of visited places, images of engrossing news). - Consistency: The central Kanji should be the core of the “world” of that year, with all background elements converging towards the character or overflowing from it. LIGHTING & TEXTURE: - Profound texture that conveys “layers of memory.” Metal, organic matter, light particles, and digital data should mix, possessing physically correct reflections and shadows. - Background light sources (dramatic backlighting or sidelight) should illuminate the character, highlighting the multilayered elements of the year through shadow. CONSTRAINTS: - Accurately depict the Kanji shape (hooks, sweeps, stroke count) so it is correctly legible in Japanese. - Arrange “elements of the year” in both the background and the character, ensuring the overall screen is not cluttered and maintains harmony as a single work of art. - high resolution. Completely exclude meaningless symbols, garbled text, or broken forms.

  • Framing & Shot Type: Medium close-up portrait (Slight low angle looking up to create visual presence)

  • Optics & Focal Intent: 35mm documentary environmental lens at f/4.0 clean editorial sharpness across subject features

  • Lighting Atmosphere: Dramatic low-key spotlight with high contrast ratio 4:1

  • Color Grading: Monochrome high-contrast black and white with rich tonal gradients

  • Model Constraints: Preserves natural skin texture; avoids oversaturated smoothing.


💡 How To Customize: Replace {SUBJECT} with your exact character or scene, or switch the Aspect Ratio to 9:16 for mobile reels and wallpaper formats.
