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.
Verbatim. Copy it, or let Queenie swap in your own details.
Based on the reference cover's composition, visual metaphor, and readability as a WeChat official-account thumbnail, generate a new horizontal WeChat official-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. Article title: {fill in the WeChat article title} Summary: {fill in the summary} Original cover approach: Science Is Not a "Story Made by Great Men" dual-skill style Create a horizontal WeChat public-account article cover, 2.35:1 aspect ratio, for an article titled "科学并非“由伟人创造的故事”". Central concept: distill a single visual metaphor around "science is not a story made by great men," avoiding cramming all the article's information into the image. Style: preserve the reference cover's visual direction: dark, high-contrast cinematic / allegorical cover. Use a palette inspired by #010713 (black), #fdfdfd (white), #111d2e (charcoal), #02060e (black). Keep the image editorial, conceptual, and readable as a small WeChat thumbnail. Composition: the image carries a fairly high amount of information, so a central subject plus left/right supporting information works well, keeping the thumbnail readable. 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 "科学并非由伟人创造的故事风格双技能" -- 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.
