Put the cover under the lamp. Each of the five things that made it work is a layer you can switch on: the words, the grid it sits on, the colours it uses, the subject, the light.

Keep all five layers and swap what’s under them: your shop, your budget, your city. You get four covers and the post text.
Verbatim. Copy it, or let Queenie swap in your own details.
Based on the reference cover's composition, visual metaphor, and WeChat thumbnail readability, generate a new horizontal WeChat public-account cover. Output size: 1456x582, ratio about 2.5:1; the core subject and essential title information must also work within WeChat's safe square crop. Public-account article title: {fill in the WeChat public-account article title} Intro: {fill in the intro} Original cover approach: Andrej Karpathy says 99% of AI users ignore 7 foundational points — I've broken them all down for you. Style dual-skill Create a horizontal WeChat public-account article cover, 2.35:1 aspect ratio, for an article titled "Andrej Karpathy says 99% of AI users ignore 7 foundational points — I've broken them all down for you.". Central concept: visualize abstract tool capabilities as interface windows, code snippets, node networks, control panels, AI workflows, or a glowing system core. Style: preserve the reference cover's visual direction: black-and-white or low-saturation editorial illustration/photo. Use a palette inspired by #ffffff (white), #8b513e (brown), #d7b0a1 (cream), #fffffe (white). Keep the image editorial, conceptual, and readable as a small WeChat thumbnail. Composition: lots of whitespace, suitable for a large title, a few icons, and a clear left-text/right-image or center-title layout. Keep the main subject and any essential title text inside the safe square crop, while using the full wide frame for atmosphere, secondary symbols, or directional motion. Text strategy: use either no text or a very short headline fragment from the title. If text is used, make it large, clean, and integrated into the layout rather than pasted on top. Mood: match the article skill "Andrej Karpathy says 99% of AI users… style dual-skill" -- useful, sharp, high-signal, and slightly more memorable than a normal tutorial thumbnail. Avoid: photorealistic clutter unless the source cover is photo-led, fake logos, unreadable tiny text, generic gradient blobs, stock-office imagery, watermark-like marks, and literal screenshots unless the article is explicitly about software interfaces.
