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

HEADER (top of poster): Bold elegant serif title "OSU — SAMPLE HALL RATES (2025–26)". A small badge in the top-right corner reads "OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY — CORVALLIS, OR" inside a circle filled with OSU orange (#D73F09).

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: OSU orange #D73F09
- Secondary accent: forest green #2E5339

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

   1. Cauthorn Economy Triple: $2,603/term · $7,809/yr
   2. Buxton Triple: $3,021/term · $9,063/yr
   3. Buxton Double: $4,256/term · $12,768/yr (most common)
   4. Buxton Single: $5,339/term · $16,017/yr
   5. Bloss Double: $4,541/term · $13,623/yr
   6. Bloss Single: $5,453/term · $16,359/yr

   10. Dining: Plan 3 ~$3,750/yr · Plan 4 ~$3,000/yr

The big numbers (like "249", "$1,200", "1,250 miles") should be BIG and prominent in #D73F09, 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): bar chart, fork-and-knife, stack of dollars

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