Image: Premium broadcast graphic for a fictional cricket

Generated from: Premium broadcast graphic for a fictional cricket management game: the HAT-TRICK. 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: the bowler at the centre of the frame, arms flung wide, roaring after taking a third wicket in three balls. His teammates converge on him from every side in full sprint, the nearest already reaching him. Behind them the stumps are disturbed and a bail lies on the pitch. Heroic medium close-up with strong depth, the crowd a wall of movement behind. Above and beside the bowler, three restrained abstract graphic marks — plain geometric wicket silhouettes, evenly spaced, no numerals and no symbols that resemble letters. Golden and electric accent light over a realistic floodlit stadium base. Players of varied South Asian, Caribbean, African, Australasian and European appearance, as international cricket actually looks. INTERFACE LAYER, deliberately small and 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, and one medium card in the lower middle third, about one fifth of the picture height. Both panels sit well inside the middle of the picture, far from the bottom, and together cover well under a third of the frame. The bowler's face and body stay fully visible and are never covered. Soft shadows, rounded corners, hairline outlines. COMPLETELY TEXT-FREE: no letters, words, digits, numerals, scoreboard readouts, jersey numbers, written signage or pseudo-lettering anywhere, including inside every panel, card and bar and including the three graphic marks. Every panel is a clean empty plate; advertising boards are blank colour blocks; the stadium scoreboard surface is dark and empty. 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 blue, neutral anthracite, white highlights, restrained warm accent light. Panel borders and frames stay strictly neutral brushed graphite and warm grey — never saturated team colours, never gold trim on the panels. Everything fictional: original abstract textless crests, invented kit designs, no resemblance to any real league, club, player, broadcaster or sponsor. Photorealistic sports-broadcast illustration, sharp, correct cricket equipment, plausible anatomy, correct hands and fingers, natural skin tones, plausible shadows, no HDR oversaturation.
