Get Claude to write one paste-ready Midjourney prompt: a single plain-text paragraph under 90 words that ends with --ar 5:7 and a --no list. The center must stay empty for the invitation text you'll add, the art sits only around the border, it uses both hex colors written as codes, and it has no text, people or sponsor logos.","materialLabel":"The brief (attached to your prompt automatically)","material":"Riverbend Literacy Project - Spring Gala\n\nDate: Saturday, April 18, 6pm, Glasshouse Conservatory. Black tie optional. Tickets $150, tables of 8.\n\nTheme this year: \"Pages in Bloom\" - books and spring flowers. (Last year's theme was \"Starry Night\" with constellations; the board said don't repeat it.)\n\nInvitation: printed 5 x 7 inches, portrait. Our designer adds all the wording (event name, date, RSVP) in the middle.\n\nColors: midnight green #0E3B2E, champagne gold #D4AF6A.\n\nIdeas from the committee:\n- \"Put the logos of our three sponsors along the bottom.\" (Sponsors go on the back of the card.)\n- \"Show kids reading from our program, real photos are powerful.\" (Photos need consent forms; the invite isn't the place.)\n- \"Use the gold foil look.\"\n\nStyle the committee liked: elegant botanical line art, open book pages turning into flowers along the edges, lots of breathing room.","rules":[{"type":"maxWords","max":90},{"type":"plainText"}],"mistakes":[{"title":"Not naming the tool","why":"Without \"Midjourney\", the AI never adds --ar 5:7, so the card is the wrong shape.","fix":"Add: \"End with --ar 5:7 --no text, people, logos.\"","checks":["r0"]},{"title":"Filling the middle","why":"The AI centers a big bouquet where your wording goes.","fix":"Add: \"Art only around the border; center empty.\"","checks":["r1"]},{"title":"Reusing last year","why":"The notes mention stars, and the AI may blend them in.","fix":"Add: \"Theme: books and spring flowers only.\"","checks":["r1"]},{"title":"Logos, kids and names of colors","why":"The AI adds sponsor logos or children and writes \"green and gold\" without codes.","fix":"Add: \"#0E3B2E and #D4AF6A.
