Vertical 9:16 illustrated streaming-series **key art / cover poster** in **2D flat animation style**, hybrid **The Simpsons + lo-fi indie cartoon**: clean black outlines, simplified expressive adult-proportioned characters (18+), muted warm earthy colors, flat cel-like shading, no painterly oil look. **Hard negatives for look** (выравнено с `season-01-The Government on Autopilot.md`): no photorealism, no 3D, **no painterly rendering**, **no cinematic heavy effects** (no bloom stacks, lens flares, heavy film-grain overlays, gritty action-movie LUTs); also no hyperreal skin, no PBR materials, no realistic lens bokeh, no volumetric fog haze stacks. Scene composition — **minimal clutter**. **Do not depict** dashboard cluster, central touchscreen tablet, Grok HUD, holograms, cyan sci-fi panels, or any readable in-car displays — those create wrong layout and unrealistic geometry for this thumbnail. **Lock one sightline:** - Cartoon US-market left-hand-drive pickup interior: viewer camera placed **toward passenger side of cabin**, **medium waist-up framing on the driver**. - Cartoon president archetype (18+ figure), navy suit, red tie, seated at **driver seat**; **three-quarter facial profile angled toward DRIVER-SIDE WINDOW** — eyes visually meeting the person outside (**single continuous sightline**, not windshield split attention). - **Same driver-side window opening** fills part of mid-frame: cartoon tech-founder archetype stands **outside** that glass close to pane, minimalist black jacket, half-smirk, short farewell wave pressed near window — silhouette reads against simplified lawn layer. - **Crop out** cockpit center bulk: no pillar-to-pillar cockpit hero shot — avoid showing where the phantom center screen would live. Optionally only a **narrow slice** of steering wheel rim or door frame line as graphic anchor bottom edge — **never** readable gauges or glowing UI bands. - Through that side window gap only: flattened White House-ish lawn strip + neo-classical building kept low-detail; windshield may be cropped away or unreadable wedge — prioritize **through driver window** continuity. - **CENTRAL VERTICAL STRIP (~35%-72% frame height)** left calmer behind title stack. - Lighting: flat cartoon daytime key, rim on outlines only, **cheerful-meets-uneasy** mood — no volumetric shafts, **no glare FX** implying photoreal windshield. NEGATIVE SPACE / HARD EXCLUDE (layout): both characters staring unrelated axes; placing the outsider at the passenger-side window while the driver looks toward driver-side window; duplicated mirrored cockpit views; a third narrative focal point on dashboard or center stack. Finish: polished **animated promo poster clarity**, readable at feed thumbnail scale, coherent with episode stills. --- EMBEDDED TEXT IN IMAGE (must be baked into illustration as crisp flat graphic title typography, integrated with outlines/shadow flats like a cartoon network promo — not realistic metal text): - Language: English US, exact wording below, roman letters only in stack, horizontally centered in band ~38%-68% height, margins ~12%-15%. - Typography hierarchy: 1. Largest — bold condensed **cartoon billboard sans**, heavy white fill **and** outer black cartoon stroke matching show outline weight: The Government on Autopilot 2. Second — semi-bold friendly serif or rounded sans, still flat print look: The Gift 3. Third — small caps / condensed sans, optional flat pastel bar behind letters for readability only: Episode 1 **Only these three text lines — no slogans or taglines.** - Text must read like **designed key art**, not photo compositing; immaculate kerning, no warped arcs, no clipped letters. --- NEGATIVE TEXT / ARTIFACT RULES: no watermark, no logo; no Cyrillic in headline stack; English-only exactly the three strings listed below; no extra taglines or slogans; no unrelated captions; no gibberish letters; no photorealistic chrome or metallic 3D titles; no duplicated stacked repeats; typography stays sharp and flat-readable.
