Image: A CONTRACT EXTENSION announcement graphic for a fi

Generated from: A CONTRACT EXTENSION announcement graphic for a fictional cricket club in a management game. ABSOLUTE RULE: the picture contains NOT ONE SINGLE CHARACTER. No letters, no words, no digits, no player name, no contract years, no headline, no sponsor wordmark, no shirt number, and no writing on the contract document — the paper is blank. Every panel is a BLANK EMPTY PLATE. Do not write out any word from this instruction anywhere in the image. TONE, and this is what separates it from a new signing: continuity, not novelty. The player already belongs here. He is at home in this place, relaxed and familiar, standing among things that show he has been here a while — not being introduced. FRAMING RULE: render the picture as a widescreen 16:9 photograph occupying the central horizontal band of the canvas. The top strip is plain empty sky, the bottom strip plain dark blurred crowd; nothing important enters either strip. SUBJECT: an established cricketer standing in the players' tunnel or the home dressing-room doorway of his own ground, wearing the well-worn navy match shirt, arms loosely crossed, an easy settled half-smile, looking directly at the camera. Beside him a club official shakes his hand warmly. On a bench behind, his kit bag and pads lie where he left them. The club crest appears small on his chest and again, worn and familiar, on the wall behind. Warm afternoon light falling through the tunnel mouth. The player is an adult of believable appearance, an invented person resembling no real cricketer. INTERFACE LAYER: dark smoked-glass plates in navy over anthracite, clearly darker than what lies behind them. One slim blank horizontal bar in the upper middle, one fifteenth of the picture height; one blank medium card in the lower middle third; a row of three small blank tiles. All sit well inside the middle of the picture, far from the bottom, and never cover his face. SAFE ZONE: every panel keeps at least one tenth of the picture width and height clear of all four edges. Nothing is cropped. COLOUR: deep navy, neutral anthracite, white highlights, warm accent light. Panel borders stay neutral brushed graphite and warm grey. Everything fictional: original abstract crest without letters, invented kit, no resemblance to any real league, club, player or sponsor. Photorealistic press photography, sharp, plausible anatomy, correct hands and fingers, natural skin tones, plausible shadows, no HDR oversaturation.
