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.
. There is no text at all on the image — the hook relies entirely on the oil-painting-style group portrait of three people, drawing people in with the art style first before they tap to see how it's done.

Referencing the case study 'A recent viral AI illustration style, with prompts in the comments' — its approach to old photo restoration, period texture, visual storytelling, and publishing tone — generate a new set of retro old-photo image-and-text posts. New theme: {fill in the photo theme you want to restore, reconstruct, or recreate} Reference platform: Xiaohongshu Content direction: retro old-photo image-and-text Creation method: keep the original case's nostalgic emotion, film/photo-paper texture, character relationships, period feel of the scene, and restoration constraints; for photo restoration, it must stay faithful to the original photo's identity, facial features, composition, and historical context, avoiding excessive beautification, redrawing, false historical information, and a modern digital plastic look. Please output: 1. Cover title and subtitle; 2. A 6-9 page image-and-text script, each page including a scene description, main copy, period/texture keywords, and a save prompt; 3. Visual prompts ready for image generation or photo restoration, specifying requirements for characters, scene, lighting, film grain, damage repair, and color restoration; 4. Publishing suggestions: title length, tags, image aspect ratio, and platform tone. Constraints: do not replicate the original author, original people, or brand logos; do not fabricate historical facts; when real people's photos are involved, prioritize identity consistency — no age regression, beautification, face slimming, or facial feature rewriting.
