Image: Premium broadcast graphic for a fictional cricket

Generated from: Premium broadcast graphic for a fictional cricket management game: the LEADING WICKET-TAKER of the competition. 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. SCENE: a powerful hero portrait of a bowler standing to one side of the frame, ball in hand, shoulders square, expression composed rather than mid-celebration. Behind him, integrated into the background, a wicket motif: a set of stumps with both bails caught in the air mid-fall, sharply lit and slightly out of focus. The rest of the background is a dark stadium wash. Metallic, focused light with clean contours and strong readability, no clutter. The player may be of South Asian, Caribbean, African, Australasian or European appearance, as international cricket actually looks. INTERFACE LAYER, clearly readable as solid plates: dark smoked-glass panels in navy over anthracite, distinctly darker than whatever lies behind them, opaque enough to read as real plates rather than faint sheets of glass. One slim horizontal bar in the upper middle, one fifteenth of the picture height; one tall ranking panel on the opposite side of the frame from the bowler, about two fifths of the picture height, ruled into five equal empty rows; a row of three small tiles beneath it. All panels sit well inside the middle of the picture, far from the bottom, and never cover the bowler's face. Together they cover no more than one third of the frame. Soft shadows, rounded corners, hairline outlines, even spacing. COMPLETELY TEXT-FREE: no letters, words, digits, numerals, rank numbers, wicket totals, scoreboard readouts, jersey numbers, written signage or pseudo-lettering anywhere, including inside every panel, row, tile and bar. Every panel and row is a clean empty plate. SAFE ZONE: every panel and tile keeps at least one tenth of the picture width and height clear of all four edges. Nothing is cropped, and the top of the player's head is not cut off. COLOUR: deep navy blue, neutral anthracite, white highlights, restrained cool metallic accent. Panel borders and frames stay strictly neutral brushed graphite and warm grey — never saturated team colours, never gold trim. Everything fictional: original abstract textless crest, invented kit design, no resemblance to any real league, club, player, broadcaster or sponsor. Photorealistic sports-broadcast portrait, sharp, three stumps and two bails, correct cricket ball, plausible anatomy, correct hands and fingers, natural skin tones, plausible shadows, no HDR oversaturation.
