Prompt
Add Your Brief

Add your context below. It will be included with the prompt when you copy or download.

Create an editable HTML/CSS composition with selectable text and a print stylesheet; treat any raster illustration as a separate local asset for [PROJECT] and [AUDIENCE]. The task is: Report Cover System.

Required content and structure

Build a cover with report title, period, organization and a reusable series identity.

Use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source of names, dates, figures, claims and destinations. List missing inputs before substituting anything. If a demonstration is needed, label its content as fictional. Do not invent customer quotes, rankings, partner logos or product capabilities.

Design direction

Use [BRAND_RULES] and the design system already selected in the project. If no system is supplied, start with this direction: cream, charcoal and olive green; asymmetrical editorial hierarchy with generous negative space. Keep type, spacing and color roles consistent. Prioritize the task over decorative elements and avoid a generic collection of unrelated cards.

Content preparation

Provide the report title, period, organization, edition and a sample of future titles. Decide which elements form the recurring series identity.

Layout and behavior

Create a stable framework with flexible title space. Use one visual or typographic motif to connect editions while keeping the reporting period unmistakable.

Task-specific acceptance check

  • Keep publication year and edition unmistakable.
  • Test a short title, a long title and a different year.
  • The system should distinguish publication date from the period covered and avoid making future editions look like duplicates.

Implementation and review

Keep text editable. Use semantic structure, descriptive controls, visible keyboard focus and appropriate empty/error states. Check narrow and wide layouts. Respect reduced-motion preferences. Preserve any existing project framework and dependencies; do not silently replace the stack. Return the editable files and explain any incomplete behavior or unsupported inputs. Review this specific task before proposing extra features.

Keep exact text and required credits as live text. Ask for the intended dimensions when they are missing. Do not invent a functional QR code, barcode, signature or official seal.

Reference attachment and reconstruction goal

Attach reference.webp from this prompt’s download bundle alongside this prompt in OpenDesign. Build an editable result with a similar composition and hierarchy; do not embed the whole reference image as the finished interface. Preserve approved project content and brand rules if they conflict with fictional sample labels. If the image is missing or unreadable, ask for it instead of claiming visual fidelity.

Reference composition and content

Use the attached reference.webp as the visual reference for Report Cover System. Before building, identify the major regions from top to bottom, their relative widths and heights, alignment, spacing, typography hierarchy, surface colors, borders, imagery and repeated components. Preserve those relationships rather than substituting a generic template. Required task content: Build a cover with report title, period, organization and a reusable series identity. Use the following task-specific layout guidance when translating the image into editable elements: Create a stable framework with flexible title space. Use one visual or typographic motif to connect editions while keeping the reporting period unmistakable.

Visual direction from the example brief

cream, charcoal and olive green; asymmetrical editorial hierarchy with generous negative space.

Output and editability

Recreate the finished graphic as editable text, shapes and image layers. The reference is a composition, not an editor interface; do not add navigation, forms or dashboard widgets that are absent from it. Create a stable framework with flexible title space. Use one visual or typographic motif to connect editions while keeping the reporting period unmistakable. Confirm intended dimensions and preserve text hierarchy when adapting the artwork. Keep publication year and edition unmistakable.

Visual comparison and delivery

  1. Compare the result with the attached image at matching proportions. Review major region placement, relative image sizes, line breaks, spacing, typography hierarchy, contrast, active states and content density before polishing decorative details.
  2. Then test the narrow layout without squeezing desktop text into tiny labels.
  3. Keep logos, photos and icons as separate assets and all meaningful labels editable. List any unavailable fonts/assets and any intentional departures. Return the working files plus a concise account of implemented behavior and remaining integrations; do not promise a pixel-identical result from the prompt alone.

Prepare the Report Cover System Content

The title and period form the main text hierarchy; specify exact dates so a cover cannot imply a different reporting scope.

A visual concept is not a press-ready or platform-approved file. Check exact copy, dimensions, color handling, fonts, asset rights and final placement.

  • Test a short title, a long title and a different year. The system should distinguish publication date from the period covered and avoid making future editions look like duplicates.

Follow-Up Prompt

Refine the current report cover system. Test a short title, a long title and a different year. The system should distinguish publication date from the period covered and avoid making future editions look like duplicates. Preserve the approved content and visual direction; change only the parts needed to resolve these issues.
