Solstice Bloom — for "a coral-and-marigold summer wedding"
Palette. #FBF6EC · #E7EBD3 · #F4A259 · #E76F51 · #C44536 · #6A7B53
Typography. A humanist serif with a little warmth for the headline, set large and airy. A clean grotesk for details. Let the botanicals frame the type; never overlap them onto small copy.
Direction. Medium: pressed-flower botanicals and cut-paper collage on warm cream stock, as though from a summer almanac. Build the image from real pressed petals, translucent leaf skeletons, and torn hand-painted paper. Layer them with faint drop-shadows so each element sits just above the page. Physical, tactile, sun-warmed — never flat vector clip-art. Composition: an off-centre bloom or spray as the focal element, with a loose asymmetric scatter of smaller botanicals trailing to one edge and generous cream space on the other. Never a symmetrical wreath. Never fill the frame. Light: high, warm midsummer sun. Long soft shadows, honest falloff, a faint golden cast at the edges. No glow, no rim light. Colour: cream and soft sage ground, with coral, marigold and a single deep rose doing the singing. Warm and outdoor, never pastel-nursery. Texture: paper tooth, the fine veining of a real petal, faint watercolour bleed at the edges of the painted shapes. Mood: generous, sunlit, celebratory without being loud. The image should feel like the first warm evening of the year.
Avoid. no symmetrical wreaths, no clip-art flowers, no neon, no glow, no gradients, no 3D render, no glossy plastic, no nursery pastels, no baby-shower cuteness, no stock-photo faces, no watermarks, no signatures, no gibberish lettering

- CONTRAST_LOWA generated png carries no lettering (Occestra never renders type into imagery), so there is no contrast to measure.
- DIM_ASPECT_MISMATCHRendered at the requested 1024x1120.
- FILE_TOO_LARGE2475 KB — comfortable to share.
- PALETTE_DRIFTColours sit on the solstice_bloom palette (mean distance 17.4).
- POLICY_VIOLATIONFinal copy is clean.
- SCHEMA_INVALIDArtifact and payload satisfy their schemas.
The critic's notes
- · Composition is a rigid 2×2 grid of equal-sized panels — the House Style requires an off-centre focal bloom with an asymmetric scatter and generous cream space; the grid produces four competing focal points of identical weight with no hierarchy
- · The bottom-left panel is a cut-paper landscape with a stylised sun and layered hills — this is a generic mid-century landscape motif, not pressed botanicals or collage on cream stock, and it introduces a gradient-band aesthetic the NEVER list prohibits
- · The colour-swatch strip at the bottom includes a pale mint/aqua swatch that does not appear in the specified palette (#FBF6EC, #E7EBD3, #F4A259, #E76F51, #C44536, #6A7B53) and reads as a nursery-adjacent tone
- · The four panels are separated by hard ruled lines on a neutral ground rather than being loose collage elements floating on cream — the image reads as a grid layout, not a single unified moodboard surface
- · No translucent leaf skeletons, no torn hand-painted paper edges, no faint drop-shadows lifting elements off the page — the tactile, physical quality central to Solstice Bloom is largely absent; elements read as flat watercolour illustration
- · The bottom-left landscape panel uses banded colour fills that read as gradients, which the NEVER list explicitly prohibits

The critic's notes
- · Voice: the artifact is a verbatim copy-paste of the house style brief and palette spec. There is no authorial act — no translation of the brief into a specific visual scenario, no sentence that could only have been written for this coral-and-marigold July wedding. It reads as a template printout, not a directed moodboard.
- · Specificity: the Substitution Test fails almost universally. Every sentence under Direction, Typography, and Avoid is lifted word-for-word from the house style document and would apply identically to any Solstice Bloom job. Nothing anchors this to the occasion: no mention of coral marigold as the dominant singing colours (the style sheet lists them generically), no focal element proposed (e.g. 'a spray of marigold and coral ranunculus as the off-centre bloom'), no seasonal or wedding-specific detail drawn from the brief's vibe ('the first warm evening of the year' appears only because it was already in the style sheet).
- · Platform fit: a moodboard artifact in markdown should do more than restate the brief — it should synthesise direction into concrete visual proposals a generator can act on. This document gives a generator nothing it did not already have; it is not a moodboard, it is a reformatted spec sheet.
