Thumbnail concept and prompt
Concept: A quiet village post office at a crossroads in late afternoon. A shopkeeper stands at an open half-door, handing a small lantern-lit slip to a waiting customer, while parcels travel along a softly lit road into hazy hills — the customer can see where their parcel is without asking. In the upper sky, a large soft cloud shaped like a paper plane, tinted a pastel of Avada’s royal blue (from the app’s blue icon with a white paper-plane mark), drifts toward the distant road.
Prompt: Editorial fine-art oil painting, vintage art-book illustration style, 16:9 wide composition with generous negative space. A small rustic post office at a quiet crossroads in warm late-afternoon sunlight, a shopkeeper at an open half-door handing a softly glowing slip to a customer, a few parcels moving along a pale winding road toward hazy distant hills. In the upper sky, a large soft cloud formation shaped like a simple paper plane, about 20–25% of the canvas width, painted in a pastel tint of royal blue blended into cream light, with feathered, partially dissolved edges, warm haze, varied opacity and low local contrast, formed naturally from the atmosphere. Muted palette of warm cream, ivory, ochre, dusty blue, sage, olive and terracotta; long soft shadows. The whole image must look visibly blurry and abstract — soft focus, broad brush masses, visible brushwork, canvas texture, imperfect edges; foreground softly defined, middle ground loose, background dissolved into color fields. No hyper-detail, no photorealism, no 3D render, no glossy digital painting, no sharp objects. No text, letters, numbers, logos, UI, signage or readable typography. Must read clearly at small thumbnail size with one clear focal point.
