🎨 English Prompt
Prompt:
Please create a museum-grade insect knowledge atlas, focusing on bees.
Core layout:
- Center: a large insect specimen image occupying 60-70% of the frame
- Surroundings: scientific annotations and fun encyclopedia information, arranged radially or in sections
- Overall: like an exquisite label in a museum glass display case
Insect specimen presentation (core requirements):
1. Physical realism: the insect specimen lies flat on the paper surface, not a "picture within a picture"
2. View: vertical top-down, the specimen and the paper are on the same plane
3. Light and shadow: soft natural light from above; the specimen casts delicate shadows on the paper
4. Fixation method: fix the specimen with insect pins (slender silver pins); pins pass through the body and the tip slightly penetrates the paper
5. Detail textures:
- visible real textures of the specimen: wing veins, fuzz, scales, corneal reflections
- edges have slight thickness and a sense of three-dimensionality
- wings may have slight translucency
- pins create small dents or pinholes in the paper around them
6. Proportions: the specimen occupies about 60-70% of the paper center; white space around for annotations
7. Natural state: wings spread naturally, not stiff; retain the specimen's authentic texture
Annotation system design:
Use guide lines (thin lines) extending from body parts to the text boxes
Body parts to label (6-8):
1. Head
- Ocelli: how many simple eyes? field of view?
- Antennae: purpose? how many segments?
- Mouthparts: what type? what do they eat?
2. Thorax
- Prothorax/mesothorax/metathorax: functions of each
- Wings: how many pairs? flight speed? special abilities?
- Legs: how many pairs? gripping/jumping/swimming and other special functions?
3. Abdomen
- Segments: how many body segments?
- Special organs: luminescent organs/sting ovipositor, etc.
- Spiracles: how do they breathe?
4. Distinctive structures
- The insect's most unique physical feature
- Relationship to habitat and survival
Information card content:
Each label includes:
- Part name (Chinese and English)
- 1-2 sentence functional description (child-friendly language)
- Fun data or trivia (marked with 🔍 or 💡 icons)
Other page elements:
Top area:
- Insect Chinese name (main title, elegant font)
- Scientific name (italic Latin, subtitle)
- Order/Family (small text)
- Distribution map icon (world map with distribution highlighted)
Bottom/side information column:
Basic file
- Body length: X-X mm
- Lifespan: X days/months/years
- Habitat: forest/grassland/water bodies
- Diet: herbivore/carnivore/omnivore
Superpowers / special abilities
- List 2-3 coolest abilities
- Simple icons + text explanations
Fun facts
- 1-2 engaging facts for children
- For example: "can lift objects up to 50 times its own weight"
Life cycle
- Simplified metamorphosis diagram
- Egg → larva → pupa → adult (complete metamorphosis)
- or Egg → nymph → adult (incomplete metamorphosis)
Design aesthetics:
- Paper texture:
Base paper: ivory/cream high-quality paper texture #F8F6F0
Visible fibers and texture
Edges may have slight wear or vintage feel (optional)
- Spatial relationships:
Specimen: physical entity, flat on the paper with real shadows
Insect pins: silver metallic sheen #C0C0C0
Annotation text: written or printed on the same sheet
Guideline lines: drawn on the paper
- Color scheme:
Paper base color: #F8F6F0 (cream) or #FFFEF7 (ivory)
Annotation text: #2C3E50 (ink/dark gray-blue) handwritten or printed
Guideline lines: #8B7355 (brown-gray) or #696969 (charcoal)
Emphasis marks: #D4AF37 (antique bronze) or #8B4513 (saddle brown)
Insect pin: silver-gray metallic shine #C0C0C0
- Typography:
Title: handwritten style or elegant serif (Garamond/宋体)
Scientific name: italic handwritten or printed style
Annotation text: clear handwriting or small-print text
Overall feel: like a naturalist writing on the specimen paper
- Decorative elements:
Corners: simple line frames or decorative corners (printed on paper)
Scale: millimeter ruler parallel to the specimen
Date/ID: handwritten collection info (optional)
Plant silhouettes watermark: faint on the paper (optional)
Key visual points:
The entire image is a flat specimen paper with a real insect specimen fixed on it, surrounded by handwritten or printed scientific annotations. The viewer feels as if looking down at a naturalist's workbench specimen record.
Layout reference:
Like opening a 19th-century naturalist's specimen book, the insect specimen is fixed on the paper with surrounding handwritten or finely printed notes. The overall presentation is flat, but tactile with physical texture—it is not a photo, but a coexistence of specimen and paper.
Image specifications:
- Aspect ratio: 16:9 (landscape poster) or 3:4 (portrait board)
- Resolution: 300 DPI, suitable for A3/A2 printing
- Format: PNG high-resolution, preserving details
Scientific accuracy requirements:
- Body proportions accurate to real insect morphology
- Terminology used accurately
- Children's descriptions scientifically engaging
Please ensure the overall presentation combines museum-level academic rigor with visually compelling elements that invite children to explore.
