Generation prompt

Use case: stylized-concept. Create a beautiful original wide editorial cover artwork for an open-source visual reference explorer's GitHub README. 3:1 wide landscape composition. The visual concept is a botanical observatory: a delicate giant orbital ellipse made of fine graphite and silver engraved astronomical chart lines, with a loose flowing constellation of about 14 real-looking archival paper specimen cards floating at different depths. On the cards: vivid deep cobalt cyanotype fern and seaweed silhouettes, a photogravure crescent moon, silver lunar crater topography, an antique botanical line drawing, closeup flower anatomy, soft green leaves, one abstract typographic specimen with single letter A, and a cloudy blue planet. One larger gorgeous blue cyanotype fern plate is the quiet focal point right of center. Cards have physical warm ivory paper edges and restrained shadows. Background is warm pale paper with extremely subtle grain. Artistic museum exhibition catalogue, restrained Japanese editorial art direction, scientific curiosity, tactile printmaking, serene spatial depth. Predominantly rich ultramarine blue and warm off-white, graphite, muted botanical green, silver accents. Asymmetric panoramic composition, generous breathing room, sophisticated and uncluttered. No app screenshot, no dashboard, no UI controls, no logos, no watermark, no title or captions. Artwork will sit above a real text wordmark in Markdown. This is conceptual cover art, not a claim about actual search results.

Brand direction

RefGarden describes a collection of references that can grow with a project. The wordmark stays readable Markdown text, separate from the illustration. Keep source credits visible and use actual product captures when showing functionality. Reserve the cover for identity and editorial use.
