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: Pacific blue #1B5E7A
- Secondary accent: muted sandstone #B8975A

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

   1. Most-comprehensive Cal Poly articulation of any CCC: Engineering, Architecture, Agriculture
   2. Architectural Technology A.S. — ACSA affiliate (rare at community-college level)
   3. Agriculture: Ag Business A.S.-T + Plant Science A.S.-T + Viticulture Cert (Paso wine region)
   4. Cal Poly–Cuesta liberal studies / teaching pathway (Fall 2025) — evening upper-division
   5. ADN: 4-semester standard + Accelerated 1-year (3-semester) + LVN-to-RN bridge
   6. Performing Arts: honors at Reno Jazz, Vokal Total Austria, Montreux Jazz Festival

The big numbers (like "249", "$1,200", "1,250 miles") should be BIG and prominent in #1B5E7A, 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): compass + ruler (architecture), wine grape cluster, saxophone with award ribbon, transfer arrow to Cal Poly clock tower

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