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.
. The image itself creates cognitive conflict, forcing people to click to find an explanation.

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 thumbnail readability for a WeChat public account, 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. Article title: {fill in the WeChat article title} Intro: {fill in the intro} Original cover method: Why is Donald Trump, on the brink of bankruptcy, still borrowing money to fly first class? Style dual-skill Create a horizontal WeChat public-account article cover, 2.35:1 aspect ratio, for an article titled "Why is Donald Trump, on the brink of bankruptcy, still borrowing money to fly first class?". Central concept: around "Why is Donald Trump, on the brink of bankrupt..." distill a single visual metaphor and avoid cramming the whole article into the frame. Style: preserve the reference cover's visual direction: dark, high-contrast cinematic/fable-like cover. Use a palette inspired by #060605 (black), #464240 (charcoal), #262523 (charcoal), #7f7976 (gray). Keep the image editorial, conceptual, and readable as a small WeChat thumbnail. Composition: the image has a relatively high information load, so use a central subject with supporting information on the left and right, keeping it readable as a thumbnail. 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 "Why is Donald Trump, on the brink of bankrupt... 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.
