# S-00 Slide Design V1
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
|
|
- Project: `2026-06-23-在路上`
|
|
- Slide: `s00`
|
|
- Version: `v1`
|
|
- Artifact type: cover design / human-facing post-production guide
|
|
- Status: draft for user confirmation
|
|
- Design line: MV cover version
|
|
- Image generation status: not started
|
|
- Next gate: user confirms this design before `brief`, `prompt`, and image generation.
|
|
|
|
## Design Purpose
|
|
|
|
`s00` is the cover slide for the MV. It is different from ordinary production shots because it must support later human post-production: title placement, typography, color, and possible platform thumbnail use.
|
|
|
|
Therefore this file is for the user and post-production decisions. The later `brief.md` remains the execution card for Codex image generation, and the later `prompt.md` remains the image-model prompt. The generated image should be a clean textless base image.
|
|
|
|
## Discussion Summary
|
|
|
|
The accepted direction is the more MV-cover-like version: keep a small back-view traveler and distant fire, while preserving the project's core rule that the world, road, mud, night, and starlight are read before the person.
|
|
|
|
The GPT cover skeleton proposed "muddy road, broken starlight in puddle, distant fire, small traveler." After looking at the already accepted project images and visual system, the direction was tightened:
|
|
|
|
- Do not make the cover a literal collage of `S-46` and `S-51`.
|
|
- Do not reveal the whole ending too early.
|
|
- Do not make the traveler or fire too prominent.
|
|
- Do not let the image contain generated title text.
|
|
- Use `design` for human/post-production information and keep `brief` compact for execution.
|
|
|
|
The final cover should feel like a distilled MV key image, not a poster with all answers explained.
|
|
|
|
## Visual Concept
|
|
|
|
Working concept:
|
|
|
|
> 泥路低处见星，远方有火，人仍在走。
|
|
|
|
The image is a dark pre-dawn or night road-film still. The viewer first reads wet mud, a road, a low puddle with broken cold starlight, and darkness. The second read finds a small back-view traveler continuing forward. The third read notices a restrained orange fire far ahead.
|
|
|
|
The emotional meaning is:
|
|
|
|
> 泥泞是真的，星空也是真的；人很小，但还在走，远方还有火。
|
|
|
|
This should not feel triumphant. It should feel quiet, road-worn, unfinished, and still moving.
|
|
|
|
## Image Base Requirements
|
|
|
|
The generated image must be a 16:9 horizontal textless base image.
|
|
|
|
Core image structure:
|
|
|
|
- Foreground: muddy wet road and a real puddle occupying roughly the lower 25%-35% of the frame.
|
|
- Puddle: visible broken cold-white starlight reflected in dirty water, but less close and less complete than the accepted `S-46` soul shot.
|
|
- Midground: one small 50-year-old male traveler, back view or side-back view, dark long coat, old backpack, old boots, walking away.
|
|
- Traveler scale: about 1/10 to 1/8 of frame height, small enough to stay secondary.
|
|
- Road: wet muddy track leads from foreground toward distance; road direction should guide the eye toward the far fire.
|
|
- Distance: one tiny restrained orange roadside fire plus at most one or two weaker fire points farther away.
|
|
- Sky / upper area: keep enough dark, quiet negative space for later title placement.
|
|
- Overall style: photorealistic cinematic documentary road-film still, restrained poetic realism, low saturation.
|
|
|
|
The generated image must not contain:
|
|
|
|
- title text;
|
|
- subtitles;
|
|
- labels;
|
|
- logo;
|
|
- watermark;
|
|
- readable signs;
|
|
- poster typography;
|
|
- AI-generated Chinese or English characters.
|
|
|
|
## Text / Typography Plan
|
|
|
|
Default title text for post-production:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
在路上
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Do not render this title into the generated image. Add it later in post-production.
|
|
|
|
Default subtitle: none.
|
|
|
|
Optional subtitle only if the thumbnail feels too quiet after image review:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
泥泞里，有星空
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Typography direction:
|
|
|
|
- Chinese title should feel road-worn, restrained, and human.
|
|
- Prefer a rough but legible hand-brushed title style, or a thick Song/Hei hybrid with slight weathered texture.
|
|
- Avoid modern technology fonts, glossy commercial poster fonts, elegant literary thin fonts, and over-dramatic calligraphy.
|
|
- Keep the title simple; do not add decorative frames or slogan blocks.
|
|
|
|
Suggested title color:
|
|
|
|
- Main title: warm off-white / aged paper, approximately `#F2E6CF`.
|
|
- Optional subtitle: muted warm gray, approximately `#BFAF96`.
|
|
- Shadow or stroke: very dark blue-black, approximately `#071016`, used lightly only for readability.
|
|
|
|
Optional accent:
|
|
|
|
- A very restrained warm-orange echo from the distant fire, approximately `#C67935`, only for a tiny underline, dot, or metadata accent if needed. Do not make the title orange.
|
|
|
|
## Layout / Safe Areas
|
|
|
|
Default title placement:
|
|
|
|
- Upper left or upper right, depending on where the generated sky/negative space is cleanest.
|
|
- Keep at least 7%-9% margin from the frame edge.
|
|
- Title block should not cover the puddle, traveler, road direction, or far fire.
|
|
|
|
Preferred layout if the generated image follows the intended composition:
|
|
|
|
- Title in upper-left dark sky area.
|
|
- No subtitle.
|
|
- Keep all text above the horizon/road action zone.
|
|
- Let the lower third remain purely visual: mud, puddle, broken starlight, and road.
|
|
|
|
Fallback layout:
|
|
|
|
- If the upper-left area has too much visual activity, move title to upper-right.
|
|
- If both upper corners are active, use a small title block in the darker side of the sky, not on top of the puddle.
|
|
|
|
Thumbnail rule:
|
|
|
|
- At small size, viewers should still read: road / fire / small person / night mood.
|
|
- The title should remain legible but not dominate the image.
|
|
|
|
## Color Guidance
|
|
|
|
Image palette:
|
|
|
|
- deep blue-black;
|
|
- wet dark blue-gray;
|
|
- cold gray;
|
|
- earth brown;
|
|
- dark khaki;
|
|
- coal black.
|
|
|
|
Emotional highlights:
|
|
|
|
- cold-white broken starlight in the puddle;
|
|
- small warm-orange fire in the distance;
|
|
- faint dark pre-dawn blue if needed.
|
|
|
|
Color balance:
|
|
|
|
> 大面积冷暗，小面积暖光。泥是现实，星是精神，火是同行。
|
|
|
|
Avoid:
|
|
|
|
- gold inspirational poster tone;
|
|
- orange-blue blockbuster grading;
|
|
- purple/blue sci-fi tone;
|
|
- tourist sunrise or sunset;
|
|
- clean glossy commercial contrast.
|
|
|
|
## Post-Production Notes
|
|
|
|
The image is expected to be a base image for manual title work.
|
|
|
|
Post-production steps after a usable image exists:
|
|
|
|
1. Add the title `在路上` manually.
|
|
2. Choose upper-left or upper-right placement based on the actual generated negative space.
|
|
3. Use warm off-white title color with light dark shadow/stroke only if readability needs it.
|
|
4. Keep subtitle disabled by default.
|
|
5. If a subtitle is needed for platform thumbnail readability, use `泥泞里，有星空` in small muted warm gray.
|
|
6. Do not add explanatory copy, credit blocks, decorative frames, or extra graphic elements unless a later task explicitly asks for a poster variant.
|
|
|
|
## Constraints / Avoid
|
|
|
|
Avoid image drift:
|
|
|
|
- no person-centered poster;
|
|
- no large face or front-facing portrait;
|
|
- no heroic pose;
|
|
- no arms-open silhouette;
|
|
- no traveler-blog backshot;
|
|
- no camping scene;
|
|
- no group reunion;
|
|
- no victory feeling;
|
|
- no clean tourism road;
|
|
- no bright sunrise/sunset;
|
|
- no fantasy portal or magic glow;
|
|
- no sci-fi/cyberpunk palette;
|
|
- no text in image.
|
|
|
|
Avoid cover-specific mistakes:
|
|
|
|
- do not make the puddle so close that it becomes only `S-46` again;
|
|
- do not make the fire so clear that it becomes the ending `S-51`;
|
|
- do not make the traveler larger than the world;
|
|
- do not fill all dark sky, because post-production needs title space.
|
|
|
|
## Confirmation Gate
|
|
|
|
If the user confirms this design, the next step is:
|
|
|
|
1. Write `s00-v1-brief.md`.
|
|
2. Write `s00-v1-prompt.md` through the required `gpt-image-2` Advisor / host-native workflow.
|
|
3. Generate `s00-v1-image.png` as a textless base image.
|
|
4. Update `projects/2026-06-23-在路上/slides/slides.md` with `s00` progress.
|
|
5. Record the generated image as `production-pass` by default because the project is in production-light and this task's images are user-authorized as pass-by-default unless the user later requests an append-only retry.
