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

HEADER (top of poster): Bold elegant serif title "SBCC — EMPLOYMENT & WORK-STUDY". A small badge in the top-right corner reads "SANTA BARBARA CITY COLLEGE — SANTA BARBARA, CA" inside a circle filled with Vaquero deep ocean (#0A3D5C).

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: Vaquero deep ocean #0A3D5C
- Secondary accent: California sun #E8B547

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

   1. California minimum wage 2026: $16.50/hr
   2. Job board: Jobspeaker (NOT Handshake — distinctive among CA CCs)
   3. Top tech employers: Sonos HQ, Procore, Apeel Sciences, Yardi
   4. Google Quantum AI campus in Goleta (10 min)
   5. Tourism + hospitality: SB resort + restaurant scene is huge
   6. UCSB itself is a major employer (Goleta, 10 mi)
   7. SBCC FWS via FAFSA — school code 001285
   8. SBCC Foundation general scholarships layer on Promise
   9. 10 hr/wk × $16.50 = $660/mo gross

The big numbers (like "249", "$1,200", "1,250 miles") should be BIG and prominent in #0A3D5C, with smaller ink labels next to them. Use a clean geometric sans-serif for data labels and an elegant serif for the headline.

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