Paper Lantern — for "a Lunar New Year reunion dinner for three generations"
Palette. #2A1213 · #C1272D · #E8452B · #F2A63B · #F6E7C1 · #3B2F6B
Typography. A warm humanist serif or a softly brushed display face for the headline; a clean sans for details. Center-weighted layouts suit the symmetry. Keep type clear of the busiest cut-paper areas.
Direction. Medium: layered paper-cut art (jianzhi / kirigami feel), as though lit from behind by festival lanterns. Build the image from stacked cut-paper layers with clean scissored edges, each casting a soft shadow on the one beneath, so depth comes from real overlapping paper. Silhouette-forward. Composition: a warm central glow — a lantern, a moon, a doorway of light — with cut-paper motifs (blossoms, cranes, foliage, figures) radiating outward in symmetrical or gently mirrored arrangement. Communal, welcoming. Light: warm lantern-light from within the scene, glowing through the translucent paper layers. Soft haloed edges where the light bleeds through; deep shadow where the paper stacks. Colour: festival reds and vermilion, warm gold, with pockets of deep indigo night behind the glow. Celebratory and warm, never fluorescent. Texture: the fibrous edge of torn and cut mulberry paper, a faint grain in the flat colours, the soft gradient of backlight through paper. Mood: communal, festive, generous — the feeling of a street of lanterns on a warm night. Made to gather people.
Avoid. no photographic realism, no 3D render, no neon or electric glow (the light is warm paper-light), no gradients that look digital, no clip-art, no flat vector sterility, no stock-photo faces, no watermarks, no signatures, no gibberish lettering

The critic's notes
- · The four-panel grid is a competent moodboard structure but the panels are equal-weight; no single panel reads as the primary focal image, so the hierarchy is flat rather than deliberate — a larger hero panel would strengthen the composition.
- · The deep-indigo palette swatch (#3B2F6B) appears only in the bottom strip; it is absent from the four scene panels, meaning the 'pockets of deep indigo night' called for by the House Style are missing — the shadow areas read as near-black or very dark red instead.
- · The family silhouette panel (top-right) shows only two adults and one child — three figures total — which is consistent with 'three generations' but the generational spread (grandparent / parent / child) is not clearly differentiated in silhouette; the elder reads ambiguously.
- · The bottom-left lantern panel contains a single vertical stroke bisecting the lantern body that could be read as a pseudo-character or a rendering seam; it is not clearly decorative and sits in an otherwise clean surface.

The critic's notes
- · The artifact adds almost no occasion-specific direction beyond what the house style already states. The brief names a specific occasion — a three-generation Lunar New Year reunion dinner — but the moodboard introduces no motifs, compositional choices, or mood notes that respond to that particularity (e.g. multigenerational figures, a round reunion table, the intimacy of a family gathering versus a street festival). The 'Direction' block is a near-verbatim copy of the house style spec, which means a generator reading this moodboard receives no additional signal about what makes this commission distinct.
- · The 'Mood' line ('the feeling of a street of lanterns on a warm night') is pulled directly from the style guide and actually points away from the brief's intimate family reunion framing — a street of lanterns is public and crowd-facing; a three-generation dinner is private and gathered. No correction is made for the occasion.
- · Headcount of 1 is noted in the brief but the moodboard gives no guidance on how to handle the tension between a reunion-dinner narrative and a single-person event — this is a genuine ambiguity the art director should flag or resolve.
