GPT-Image-1 - Couple-reunion family-sponsorship hero

**TARGET MODEL: ChatGPT Images 2.0 (gpt-image-2, April 2026 release).** Use 2.0-specific capabilities:
- Embed exact text strings — 99% accuracy English, 90%+ Hindi/Punjabi/Bengali/Arabic/CJK. Spell every word verbatim in the prompt; the model will render it as typed.
- Let 2.0 plan composition first (the model uses an internal reasoning step). Specify spatial layout in plain language ("primary subject left-third, accent right-third, headline top-center").
- Request 2K (2048x2048 or 2048x1152) when the output is for web hero / OG / LinkedIn — use 1024px square only for thumbnails.
- For carousel / slide-deck use cases, ask for a coherent SET of up to 8 images in one call.
- If multilingual diaspora copy is needed (Punjabi for Brampton, Hindi for North-India market, Tamil for SG diaspora), specify the EXACT script + transliteration to lock the rendering.

Generate an illustrated hero image at [ASPECT_RATIO] for "[OUTPUT_USE]". Campaign context: [CLIENT_CONTEXT].

Subject:
- An illustrated South Asian couple in their late 20s to mid 30s, meeting after a long separation. One partner has just walked through a generic arrivals doorway, pulling a wheeled suitcase; the other steps forward with arms partly extended.
- The moment is restrained - not a dramatic embrace, but the quarter-second before. Faces in three-quarter profile, calm and emotional, never theatrical.

Style:
- Illustrated editorial, soft cel-shading, painterly grain.
- Composition: couple slightly left of center; right third is negative space for headline overlay.

Color palette:
- Background: warm off-white #F6F4EF gradient to indigo #5E54FF at 15 percent opacity bottom-right.
- Clothing: navy #1E3A5F primary, with one draft-orange #F28C28 accent (dupatta edge, scarf, or jacket lining).
- Skin tones natural medium-brown.

Typography hints:
- If headline overlay is required, Fraunces serif single line in navy.
- [BRAND_FONT_PRIMARY] sans for any sub-copy.
- [FIRM_LOGO_INCLUDED]: bottom-right wordmark at 50 percent opacity when yes.

GPT-Image-1 directives:
- Aspect ratio: [ASPECT_RATIO].
- Lighting: soft arrivals-hall warm fill, gentle backlight from doorway.
- Mood: tender, restrained, hopeful.

Negative prompts:
- No real-person likenesses.
- No trademarked logos (airline livery, real airport signage, IRCC, CBSA).
- No fabricated sponsorship approval letters or visa stamps.
- No violent or discriminatory imagery.
- No red/gold or blue-dominant palettes.
- No AI-art tells (extra fingers, melted suitcase wheels, distorted facial features).

DRAFT - for consultant/firm brand review. Verify generated image does NOT include trademarked logos, real-person likenesses, or any government-issued seal that could be mistaken for an official document. Brand colors must align with firm guidelines.
