Prompt
A folded coat and worn shoes under a hospital locker’s night light. 2026 trade-cover trend: oversized structural typography, high-contrast palette, strong readability at thumbnail size. All cover text must be English only. Book cover with title "Notes from a Night Nurse" and author name "Grace Osei" rendered on the cover.. Workflow direction: Create the finished flat front-cover artwork itself, not a photograph or mockup of a physical book. The rectangular front cover must fill the entire output canvas edge to edge, viewed perfectly straight-on with the camera perpendicular to the artwork. Build one compelling genre-appropriate key image on a single strong subject in a single scene — never a collage of competing motifs. Follow the 2026 trade-cover direction: oversized structural title typography treated as part of the artwork, a high-contrast palette, an author name placed deliberately and secondary to the title, short correctly rendered title text in the requested language enclosed in quotation marks, and a silhouette that stays readable at 100-pixel thumbnail size in a two-second scroll, all with trim-safe breathing room.
Style-specific direction:
Style: premium literary memoir cover with intimate editorial photography or restrained painterly realism, quiet paper-grain texture in the 2026 literary manner, and a quiet human tone.
Subject: preserve the requested personal object, place, period, and memory cue; use one authentic focal artifact rather than a sentimental collage.
Composition: portrait front-cover layout, calm asymmetry, tactile negative space, subtle depth, clear title and author zones, thumbnail readability.
Lighting or Color: soft window light with gentle falloff; sepia, linen, muted teal, and natural paper grain.
Typography: render the exact quoted title once in a warm humanist serif scaled generously and the exact quoted author once beneath it in small elegant capitals; keep both crisp and correctly spelled.
Output format: author appears exactly once; flat front-cover artwork only, filling the canvas edge to edge and viewed perfectly straight-on; no physical book object, spine, pages, back cover, perspective, photo mockup, badge, logo, watermark, duplicated text, or fake review quotes.. Avoid: physical book, 3D book, book mockup, product mockup, spine, pages, page edges, back cover, perspective view, angled cover, tabletop, pedestal, hands holding a book, room scene, drop shadow around the cover, misspelled title, crowded typography, weak focal point, busy collage of competing motifs, washed-out low contrast, text too close to edges, unrelated imagery, garbled author name, misspelled title, duplicated author, fake review quote, sentimental collage, landscape layout, 3D mockup, spine, watermark
