Li Qiu Autumn Begins Poster

Goal: Create a refined vertical poster for the Chinese solar term {argument name="solar term name" default="Li Qiu / Autumn Begins"}, blending modern editorial typography with minimal Chinese ink-wash aesthetics.

Canvas: Tall vertical 9:16 poster on warm ivory rice-paper background with subtle grain, faint vertical texture, generous negative space, and soft orange-black-gray palette.

Layout: Place the main title block in the upper left. Put a large ink-painted black winter-plum style branch diagonally through the center, rising from the lower middle toward the upper right, crossing in front of a soft peach-orange arched sun/window shape. Add a small still-life platform at the lower center-right, a decorative dotted grid band near the bottom, and tiny publication details at the bottom corners and upper right edge.

Text content: Upper left title block: large Chinese characters “立秋”; below them “LI QIU” and “AUTUMN BEGINS”. Under a thin orange divider line, add “二十四节气 · 立秋” and “The Start of Autumn”. Mid-left poem block: “暑去凉来，万物始收。” followed by a small orange dot, then “Heat recedes, coolness arrives. All things begin to gather.” Lower right quote block: “BEGIN AGAIN,” then “A gentle turn.” and “A quiet renewal.” with Chinese text “新凉伊始 · 心归简静。” beneath. Bottom left small text: “24 SOLAR TERMS” and “SEASONAL POETRY & OBSERVANCE”. Bottom right small text: “No.07” and “2024”. Upper right vertical detail: “08 07” with a small orange dot and short vertical line.

Subject details: The central branch should be bold, expressive black sumi-e brushwork with dry-brush splatters, rough bark texture, and thin sharp twigs. Include exactly 13 glowing peach-orange circular blossoms or berries on the branch: 1 near the upper fork, 4 clustered on the upper-right twig, 3 on the middle-right branch, 3 on the left-middle cluster, and 2 near the lower-right twig. Add a translucent pale orange arch behind the branch, with a rounded top and flat bottom, softly glowing like a muted autumn sun. At the base, include exactly 4 still-life elements: 1 low peach rectangular block at lower left, 1 small transparent glass sphere sitting on it, 1 gray rectangular platform extending right, and 1 black round seedpod sculpture on a thin stem. Add a small tuft of grasses with thin black and brown blades growing from the platform.

Visual style: Minimal East Asian art poster, elegant whitespace, luxury stationery feel, crisp serif Roman typography, calligraphic Chinese title, delicate microtypography, soft fog near the lower edge, subtle concentric arch-line pattern faintly visible on the left background, and a warm dotted pixel grid band in pale peach across the lower third.

Constraints: Keep the composition calm, asymmetrical, and airy. Use only black ink, warm peach-orange, gray, and ivory tones. Preserve the exact visible text content and the exact counted elements. No people, no photorealistic scene, no watermark.
