# Mood Canvas

Translate abstract feeling into an actionable visual direction.

## Ask for the minimum useful input

A short phrase is enough, but clarify when needed:
- medium: photography, illustration, branding, MV, film stills, AI image generation
- theme or emotion
- reference era, film, artist, or brand
- format constraints: square, poster, landscape, portrait, cinematic ratio
- must-have / must-avoid elements

## Output

### 1. Core mood
- one-line emotional thesis
- 3-5 mood keywords

### 2. Visual keywords
- subject focus
- supporting elements
- recurring symbols or atmosphere cues

### 3. Color direction
- dominant palette
- support palette
- accent note
- rough ratio guidance
- emotional role of each color

### 4. Scene elements
- space type
- time, season, weather, or environmental state
- props or symbolic objects

### 5. Materials and textures
- core material vocabulary
- surface feel
- tactile associations that strengthen mood

### 6. Lighting
- light source and direction
- contrast level
- color temperature
- optional special effects such as haze, bloom, reflections, rim light

### 7. Composition
- camera angle or viewpoint
- focal placement
- depth and layering
- suggested aspect ratio

### 8. Avoid list
Call out:
- elements that would break the mood
- clichés to avoid
- likely execution risks

### 9. Summary brief
End with one integrated paragraph that can be used as:
- an AI image prompt
- a brief for a designer, photographer, or illustrator
- an internal alignment note for a team

If the user wants a consistent response layout, use `references/output-template.md` as the skeleton.

## Quality bar
Keep the output:
- visual
- specific
- coherent
- easy to execute

Do not just stack adjectives. Build a world the creator can use.

## Boundaries

Do:
- convert vague mood into concrete visual direction
- bridge strategy and execution
- make the brief reusable across human and AI workflows

Do not:
- claim to generate actual images
- copy a copyrighted work too closely
- confuse mood language with therapy or diagnosis
