Retro Beijing Morning Fruit Poster

Goal: Create a retro Chinese woodblock-print style morning poster for {argument name="city" default="Beijing"}, combining fruit-market poster aesthetics with landmark architecture growing like fruit on a tree.

Canvas: Horizontal 4:3 poster, warm aged rice-paper background with visible speckles, grain, ink misregistration, distressed screen-print texture, and slightly faded ink coverage.

Layout: Large red Chinese headline on the upper left reading {argument name="Chinese headline" default="早安北京"}. Under it place small English text reading “GOOD MORNING”, then the date {argument name="date" default="2026-07-27"}, with three small red diamond marks below. Along the left side, set a vertical Chinese sentence reading {argument name="vertical quote" default="把今天过成发光的一天。"} with a small red line and circle accent. On the far right edge, add vertical English text “TEMPLE OF HEAVEN” near the top and “BEIJING” near the lower right, plus a small red seal-like icon at the top right and a small red boxed Chinese seal reading “北京” at the bottom right.

Main illustration: A dark blue-black branching fruit tree fills the center and right side, with teal-green leaves and stylized dark blue cloud curls. The fruit are large red-orange apples/pomegranates containing layered illustrations of Beijing’s Temple of Heaven architecture, as if the temple has become fruit. Use flat ink colors only: vermilion red, dark navy, muted teal, cream, and small warm yellow highlights.

Count the visible main elements exactly: 5 red architectural fruit forms total — 1 very large fruit at upper center containing the round Temple of Heaven hall, 1 medium fruit at center-left containing a circular terrace railing, 1 large fruit at lower center-right containing a temple roof and glowing golden finial, 1 partial fruit cropped at the right edge with temple details, and 1 partial fruit cropped at the lower left with a small golden finial. Include 4 stylized dark blue cloud motifs — one near the center-left fruit, one near the upper right, one beside the lower center-right fruit, and one over the lower-left cropped fruit. Include many teal leaves attached to the branches, with simple pale vein lines.

Visual style: Vintage Chinese propaganda-poster-meets-market-fruit-label design, bold blocky typography, traditional printmaking texture, rough ink edges, offset layered transparencies, paper fibers, subtle halftone wear, no photorealism, no gradients except distressed transparent overlays.

Constraints: Keep the composition balanced with the headline occupying the left third and the tree-fruit illustration occupying the center and right two-thirds. Do not add extra fruit beyond the 5 specified. Preserve the printed poster texture and limited color palette. No watermark, no modern UI elements.
