**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 at [ASPECT_RATIO] for "[OUTPUT_USE]". Campaign context: [CLIENT_CONTEXT].
Subject:
- A stylised phoenix silhouette rising upward from a folded paper letter resting on a linen surface. The phoenix is monoline, abstract - not a literal bird, more a calligraphic flame-and-wing form.
- The letter is generic, partially obscured by the phoenix base. No legible text - only abstract horizontal lines suggesting body copy.
Style:
- Editorial illustration with painterly soft brush. Phoenix in single-color silhouette, letter in flat-vector with light shading.
- Composition: phoenix occupies the upper two-thirds, letter the lower third.
Color palette:
- Background: warm off-white #F6F4EF, with a subtle indigo #5E54FF gradient in the upper third.
- Phoenix silhouette: draft orange #F28C28 as primary, with navy #1E3A5F at the base where it meets the letter.
- Letter: navy outlines on warm off-white fill.
Typography hints:
- No legible letter text. If a single overlay headline is needed, Fraunces serif single line.
- [FIRM_LOGO_INCLUDED]: bottom-right wordmark at 50 percent opacity when yes.
GPT-Image-1 directives:
- Aspect ratio: [ASPECT_RATIO].
- Lighting: soft warm rim from below, suggesting flame light, balanced by cool ambient above.
- Mood: resilient, hopeful, dignified - not flashy.
Negative prompts:
- No real-person likenesses.
- No trademarked logos (IRCC refusal letterheads, USCIS RFE letters, Home Office refusal templates).
- No legible refusal letter content - keep it abstract.
- No fabricated authentic refusal documents.
- No violent or discriminatory imagery.
- No red/gold dominant palette - keep the phoenix decisively orange, not red.
- No blue-dominant palette.
- No AI-art tells (warped wing curves, melted letter folds).
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.Unlock the vault to see the full prompt
