EDITORIAL INFOGRAPHIC POSTER, hand-printed magazine spread aesthetic, 4:5 portrait orientation, 4K print quality.

HEADER (top of poster): Bold elegant serif title "APTOS — ACTIVITIES & CULTURE". A small badge in the top-right corner reads "CABRILLO COLLEGE — APTOS, CA" inside a circle filled with deep ocean navy (#2D4A6B).

BACKGROUND: Warm cream paper texture #F4ECDC throughout, with subtle hand-printed grain. NO white background.

PALETTE (use ONLY these colors, no others):
- Paper background: #F4ECDC
- Body typography (deep coffee ink): #2A1810
- Primary accent for icons + key numbers: deep ocean navy #2D4A6B
- Secondary accent: warm sand #C9B284

BODY (vertical editorial layout, generous whitespace, with iconography paired to each data point). Render these EXACT data points verbatim, in this order:

   1. Seacliff State Beach: 0.5 mi from campus (walking distance)
   2. New Brighton State Beach: 1 mi
   3. Capitola Village: 5 min drive
   4. Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk: 15 min
   5. Forest of Nisene Marks State Park — hiking, mountain biking
   6. Surf, paddle boarding, kayaking — year-round
   7. Cabrillo Stage — campus theater program
   8. Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music (summer)
   9. Athletics: D-2 community college — Cabrillo Seahawks
   10. Strong music + arts + marine biology programs

The big numbers (like "249", "$1,200", "1,250 miles") should be BIG and prominent in #2D4A6B, with smaller ink labels next to them. Use a clean geometric sans-serif for data labels and an elegant serif for the headline.

ICONOGRAPHY (hand-drawn, minimalist line illustrations only — no photographs): surfboard, redwood tree, music note, ocean wave

FOOTER (bottom): A small italic line in muted #2A1810 reads "compiled 2026-04-28".

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT include: photorealistic photography, stock-photo people, neon colors, holographic effects, gradient mesh, generic AI aesthetic, any colors outside the specified palette, additional logos, watermarks, or text beyond what is specified.

Hand-printed editorial restraint. Strong serif typography. Numbers prominent. Aspect ratio 4:5 portrait. 4K resolution print quality.

## Adjustment hints
- **To re-render at higher resolution**: this script already requests 4K; if rendering quality is off, increase resolution by editing the `--size 4K` flag in generate-all.ts to a future tier
- **To adjust color temperature**: change `accent` and `secondary` hex codes in the SPECS entry for cabrillo-activities.png; re-run `bun generate-all.ts cabrillo-activities.png`
- **To add/remove data points**: edit the `data` array in SPECS for cabrillo-activities.png; the prompt rebuilds automatically
- **To shift layout (vertical vs grid)**: append a layout directive after the BODY paragraph in buildPrompt(); re-run
- **To swap iconography**: edit the `iconography` array in SPECS
