ROLE: Use the direction of a natural-light editorial photographer.
CONTEXT: Illustrative cover for a maker guide about project planning. The title will be added outside the image.
TASK / OBJECTIVE: Generate a warm desk scene with one open notebook, one pencil, and a compact laptop showing abstract planning blocks.
CONSTRAINTS: Make the notebook the focal point. Use a warm-white desk, navy details, soft daylight, and realistic materials. Keep screen content generic and unbranded. Use clean empty paper rather than simulated handwriting.
FORMAT / OUTPUT SPEC: Landscape 3:2 image, gentle three-quarter angle, main objects inside the central safe crop, clear edge space. Set aspect ratio in the interface where required.
EXAMPLES: A believable home workspace with editorial restraint, not a futuristic control room.
ITERATION & EVALUATION: Inspect object count, geometry, unwanted letters, and the mobile crop. Change one failed instruction at a time. This is an illustration, not documentation of a real workspace.
