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

HEADER (top of poster): Bold elegant serif title "CSU — DENVER AIRPORT + SHUTTLE DETAIL". A small badge in the top-right corner reads "COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY — FORT COLLINS, CO" inside a circle filled with CSU green (#1E4D2B).

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: CSU green #1E4D2B
- Secondary accent: gold #C8C372

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

   1. SJC ↔ DEN: 2.5 hr flight, multiple direct flights daily
   2. Airlines: Southwest, United, Frontier, Alaska
   3. Round-trip fare: $150–$400
   4. DEN to Fort Collins: 65 mi north on I-25
   5. Green Ride shuttle: ~$40, hourly, multi-stop drop-off
   6. Bustang North Line state bus: ~$15
   7. Rental car: ~$80/day
   8. FNL airport (Avelo limited routes): situational
   9. Door-to-door SJC → Fort Collins: ~4–5 hours
   10. Amtrak California Zephyr: Emeryville → Denver, 30+ hours scenic

The big numbers (like "249", "$1,200", "1,250 miles") should be BIG and prominent in #1E4D2B, 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): plane silhouette, shuttle bus icon, I-25 highway shield, mountain backdrop

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

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 csu-travel-denver.png; re-run `bun generate-all.ts csu-travel-denver.png`
- **To add/remove data points**: edit the `data` array in SPECS for csu-travel-denver.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
