影像蒸馏 · Scene Distillation Zine v1.3

1. the generated raster image;
2. a concise Chinese explanation of the creative idea;
3. concise art-direction notes.

Decision Priority

1. Establish one specific artistic proposition and embody it visibly.
2. Build one central emotional or conceptual tension from the source.
3. Create a complete artwork with an independent aesthetic voice.
4. Preserve the source's semantic nucleus and emotional provenance.
5. Recompose, simplify, exaggerate, and invent with purpose.
6. Establish figure–ground clarity, hierarchy, balance, and a deliberate eye path.
7. Make edge, material, color, space, and typography serve the proposition.
8. Preserve substantial quiet space and one interpretive opening.
9. Apply the requested color mode faithfully and use high chroma with purpose.
10. Keep the result tactile, flat, poetic, and non-commercial.

Consent and Source Handling

• Treat a supplied photo plus a request to transform or generate as consent to use image generation; do not ask again.
• Use the photo as a reference image for semantic and visual analysis only.
• Send only the final prompt and required reference image to the image-generation service.
• Do not browse, search, share, or upload the source elsewhere.
• Do not save the source into project files unless the user asks.
• State briefly after generation that the prompt and reference image were used by the generation service.

Build the Distillation Card

• Semantic nucleus: the smallest subject, relationship, or event that gives the source meaning.
• Core subject: one primary subject, or at most two inseparable subjects.
• Supporting elements: one to three elements that establish place, season, action, or atmosphere.
• Dominant gesture: the strongest gaze, lean, curve, diagonal, path, repetition, convergence, or movement.
• Spatial cue: one source relationship worth preserving, such as near/far, above/below, facing, overlap, enclosure, or direction.
• Visual-weight map: weight from area, darkness, saturation, faces, isolation, edge tension, and texture.
• Native palette: dominant hue family, temperature, value range, and any meaningful minor color.
• Material and weather: water, snow, haze, glass, foliage, stone, fabric, wind, rain, or light behavior.
• Emotional residue: the feeling that remains after factual description is removed.
• Discard list: background detail, clutter, redundant objects, and realistic information that should disappear.
• Transformation opportunities: forms that can be enlarged, merged, fragmented, repeated, displaced, or turned into negative space.

Expression Engine

source fact → emotional residue → expressive proposition → central tension → visual metaphor → formal embodiment → interpretive opening

Expressive Proposition

• a small figure meets a scale too large to master, yet does not appear defeated;
• shelter and isolation exist in the same enclosing form;
• an ordinary object carries memory through a changing place;
• an opening promises freedom while also marking separation.

Central Tension

• intimacy / distance;
• shelter / confinement;
• movement / stillness;
• smallness / vastness;
• warmth / coldness;
• memory / disappearance;
• order / growth;
• visibility / concealment;
• permanence / fragility.

Visual Metaphor

Formal Embodiment

• Scale and space: express power, vulnerability, distance, solitude, release, or duration.
• Direction and rhythm: express approach, resistance, drift, repetition, interruption, or return.
• Boundary and edge: express separation, rupture, accumulation, fading, passage, or breakthrough.
• Color: act as an emotional event such as warmth arriving, a wound opening, a signal calling, distance deepening, or life persisting.
• Material: let torn fiber, dry ink, grain, cut paper, and broken contour carry psychological meaning, not surface decoration.
• Typography: expand, redirect, or gently complicate the image; do not merely caption what is visible.

Interpretive Opening

Authorial Reinterpretation

• changing scale, proportion, crop, spacing, orientation, and placement;
• reorganizing the original spatial relationship;
• merging several elements into one new visual mass;
• splitting, repeating, extending, or rhythmically compressing an element;
• deleting the realistic background and retaining only suggestive traces;
• exaggerating gesture, distance, direction, silhouette, or material behavior;
• letting forms cross, disappear behind, or break through torn-paper boundaries;
• turning wind, water, light, shadow, snow, or motion into abstract fields and marks;
• inventing source-consistent supporting forms that were not literally visible;
• redesigning the palette to improve hierarchy and emotional force;
• writing a short text from the image's concrete cues or emotional residue.

• extend the source emotion;
• clarify the subject relationship;
• establish rhythm;
• balance visual weight;
• guide the eye;
• strengthen the central metaphor.

Abstraction and Illustration Grammar

• preserve the semantic nucleus, dominant gesture, and one source-specific cue;
• remove roughly 65–90% of descriptive detail;
• replace realistic rendering with simplified masses, broken contours, paper fragments, sparse marks, or print fields;
• generalize facial identity unless the user explicitly requests likeness;
• change anatomy or perspective when it improves the artwork without breaking the semantic nucleus.

• Cut-paper mass: irregular flat shapes carry the subject and visual weight.
• Dry-print silhouette: one broad inked mass preserves gesture or profile.
• Broken contour: interrupted lines preserve direction, posture, or structure.
• Rhythm field: repeated marks compress crowds, leaves, waves, snow, windows, or movement.
• Fragment stack: two or three overlapping paper forms distribute subject and setting.
• Orbit or drift: selected forms leave a central cluster along a source-derived path.

Composition Director

• use a vertical 3:5 canvas for a portrait source;
• use a horizontal 5:3 canvas for a landscape source;
• use a vertical 3:5 canvas when the source is square, absent, or its orientation is ambiguous.

• 68–85% quiet paper;
• one active illustration cluster occupying about 12–32% of the canvas;
• one dominant mass, one to three supporting forms, and one restrained texture field.

• Asymmetric island: a compact off-center cluster surrounded by breathing room.
• Torn window: an irregular paper boundary contains the main forms while one element escapes.
• Directional drift: forms extend along a gaze, path, wind, shoreline, or motion vector.
• Rhythmic circulation: repeated elements create an open loop or current without defaulting to a perfect circle.
• Staggered fragments: two or three separated paper pieces establish sequence and interval.
• Vertical tension: a low or high subject mass is counterbalanced by a distant light mark or strip.
• Auxiliary constellation: isolate one core subject, then disperse a source-derived supporting element around it as unequal visual beats that establish rhythm, scale, and eye path.

• figure–ground clarity;
• asymmetric balance;
• dominant–subordinate hierarchy;
• optical rather than mechanical centering;
• Gestalt proximity, continuation, and closure;
• scale and interval contrast;
• directional breathing room;
• an eye path with a clear entry, focal encounter, movement, and quiet exit.

Transition Edge Director

• Torn-fiber edge: use irregular exposed fibers and broken paper contours to divide active illustration from blank paper.
• Layered grayscale edge: place two or three very narrow, irregular neutral-value bands along a torn boundary—light gray, mid gray, and restrained charcoal—to create shallow material separation without a cast shadow.
• Stippled dissolution: let sparse dots, halftone flecks, or broken grain loosen the edge into the surrounding paper; derive density and direction from the source movement.
• Irregular mark edge: use one to three small, source-derived graphic shapes along the transition to continue rhythm or direction; keep them neutral and subordinate, never generic decoration.
• Natural isolated contour: retain only the originally illustrated subject and necessary supporting elements, with clean organic silhouettes that meet the paper directly. Use faint ink bite or paper grain at the contour only when needed. Do not add a torn boundary, grayscale rim, stipple field, halo, border, or other visible transition device.

• align the transition with a source-derived horizon, gesture, path, pressure, material change, or directional break;
• use positive and negative shapes, and allow internal paper gaps;
• let zero to two selected forms cross the boundary when continuation helps;
• keep shallow depth tactile and flat-scanned;
• keep all boundary marks neutral in Solid Color-Block Mode.

Color Mode Policy

• Visual role: focal entry, counterweight, bridge, spatial field, or directional cue.
• Source relation: resonance, analogous harmony, temperature counterpoint, or focused complement.
• Value contrast: how light or dark the color must be against paper and neutral ink.
• Chroma: how strongly it must separate from subdued or neutral forms.
• Material form: risograph ink, opaque cut paper, flat silhouette, dry-print block, or another paper-native treatment.
• Area and adjacency: how much color is needed and which form it must touch or oppose.

• fully saturated cobalt-blue risograph ink;
• opaque ultramarine cut paper;
• vivid pear-green flat silhouette;
• clean tomato-red printed block;
• lemon-yellow dry-print field;
• saturated magenta-pink paper mass;
• clear orange letterpress shape.

单色块模式

用 $scene-distillation-zine-v1-3 的单色块模式处理这张图片

Standard Accent Mode

• Source resonance: intensify a meaningful minor source color.
• Temperature counterpoint: add warm color to a cool source or cool color to a warm source.
• Focused complement: use a complementary or near-complementary hue to sharpen the focal relationship.
• Quiet harmony: use a stronger analogous hue when unity matters more than tension.

• focal pin;
• counterweight;
• bridge between fragments;
• directional cue;
• rhythmic beat.

Distributed Supporting Accent

• Preserve the element's identity and color direction, then redraw it in the selected illustration grammar.
• Disperse several instances around the core subject with unequal scale, interval, orientation, and density.
• Use one exact high-chroma hue across the entire dispersed set so it reads as one color system, not multiple competing accents.
• Let the dispersed elements establish entry, circulation, counterweight, and exit; do not arrange them as an even decorative border or repeating pattern.
• Keep the combined saturated area within the Standard Accent allowance. A distributed set replaces the usual main accent plus echoes; it does not add another color system.
• Preserve meaningful absence. Leave some intervals open so the viewer completes the rhythm.

Solid Color-Block Mode

单色块模式

1. the natural paper tone;
2. one unified achromatic or near-neutral ink system for every outline, object, texture, and text;
3. exactly one contiguous, fully saturated color field.

• Render all non-accent forms with charcoal, graphite, warm gray, brown-black, or off-black ink only.
• Do not use subdued blue, green, red, yellow, violet, or other chromatic tints in supporting forms.
• Use one high-chroma hue in one connected filled shape; do not split it into echoes, dots, stripes, or separate colored objects.
• Let the color field occupy roughly 3–12% of the full poster or 25–65% of the active cluster.
• Keep the field visually solid and opaque. Allow paper grain, ink bite, and tiny print defects inside it, but preserve its continuous color read.
• Use the field as a subject, aperture, window, doorway, sun, body of water, silhouette, interior space, or other source-derived core form.
• Make the field the visual entry point or the central spatial idea, not a decorative rectangle placed beside the artwork.
• Derive its silhouette and placement from the source's semantic nucleus, dominant gesture, or strongest figure–ground opportunity.
• Typography, if present, may use the neutral ink system, the single saturated hue, or both; do not introduce any additional hue.

Color mode: Solid Color-Block Mode. Use exactly one contiguous [exact hue] field. Render every other printed form in neutral charcoal, graphite, warm gray, or off-black ink. Typography may use the neutral ink system and/or [exact hue], but no other chromatic color may appear anywhere.

Typography Director

Prompt Compiler

1. Expression and visible consequence: artistic proposition, central tension, visual metaphor, interpretive opening, and the visible formal decisions that embody them.
2. Canvas and attention geometry: source-responsive orientation, 3:5 portrait or 5:3 landscape ratio, paper, quiet-space share, cluster size, position, hierarchy, eye path.
3. Distilled subject and creative rewrite: semantic nucleus, preserved anchors, transformations, omissions, invented source-consistent forms, illustration grammar.
4. Transition edge, color mode, and text: selected edge treatment and its semantic role; exact hue, emotional action, form, position, and area; mode-specific exclusions; any authorial text material and its visual role, physical behavior, spatial movement, and relationship to the image.
5. Reproduction and hard avoids: print/scan texture, emotional temperature, no-photo rule, and prohibited aesthetics.

• Do not reproduce, embed, crop, collage, trace, or retain photographic pixels or photorealistic regions from the reference.

• The final image must contain original illustration, paper, and typography only.

Generation Workflow

1. Inspect the supplied photo.
2. Detect source orientation and choose 3:5 portrait or 5:3 landscape unless the user requests another ratio.
3. Build the Distillation Card.
4. Write one expressive proposition from a specific source relationship.
5. Choose one central tension and one source-derived visual metaphor.
6. Define the interpretive opening: what remains deliberately unresolved.
7. Detect the exact

   单色块模式

   trigger; otherwise select Standard Accent Mode.
8. Select two to four source anchors and write the discard list.
9. Define one authorial transformation: what the artwork does that the photograph did not.
10. Choose the composition family and use scale, interval, enclosure, direction, and quiet space to embody the proposition. Use Auxiliary Constellation only when a source-derived supporting motif can carry rhythm or meaning.
11. Choose one primary illustration grammar and at most one supporting grammar.
12. Choose one primary transition-edge treatment by semantic function and, only if useful, one subordinate treatment. Allow Natural Isolated Contour when an unmarked boundary best serves the work.
13. Resolve the Color Decision and define the accent as an emotional action, not merely a hue. In Standard Accent Mode, decide whether the accent is concentrated or a source-derived Distributed Supporting Accent.
14. Resolve color by mode:

• Standard: choose the accent hue, role, form, position, area, and restrained echoes.
• Solid Color-Block: choose one connected saturated field and convert every other printed form to neutral ink.

1. Decide freely whether the work needs text. If it does, invent or use any language, amount, type voice, material treatment, scale, orientation, hierarchy, and placement that strengthens the work; do not default to a neat caption line or impose a preset textual format.
2. Compile the five-section prompt.
3. Generate using the supplied image as a semantic reference.
4. Return the image, the creative idea in Chinese, and concise art-direction notes directly.
