"high_level_description": "Landscape 16:9 key art: a solid white lighthouse stands on a rocky point while its beam sweeps left through a dense field of television static that breaks apart into clear, calm sky, all rendered as flat overlapping translucent colour planes on warm off-white paper, with the headline 'Sculpting Static' and a subhead set in the open sky at upper left.",
"style_description": {
"aesthetics": "flat vector digital illustration, geometric and calm, patient and precise with a wistful softness, hard-edged shapes and translucent multiply overlaps, generous negative space, matte and screen-flat",
"lighting": "even, shadowless, directionless studio-flat light with no rendered highlights; luminosity comes only from where translucent planes overlap and deepen or thin out and pale",
"medium": "illustration",
"art_style": "contemporary flat vector poster illustration in the lineage of mid-century Swiss graphic abstraction and 1970s overprinted screen-print colour studies: broad semi-transparent colour fields layered over one another, no outlines, no gradients, no grain, no texture noise, colour built purely by overlap",
