## Review basis

Full HUBEI at the bottom and legible names. Steam processing, various tea operations, brick pressing, and trade are shown clearly; faces and tools are distinguishable, composition is clean.

Create an original collectible regional ceramic PRINTING DECAL, not a mug or mockup. The supplied image is a drawing/style benchmark only: replace every reference-region subject and word with the researched region described below. Make a confident, rewarding composition whose tea craft, architecture and landscape belong together.
OUTPUT: PNG RGBA, native 3840 x 1280 px. Keep every mark inside x=60..3780 and y=110..1170; use nearly the whole long strip. The final export is 3840 x 1152 px for 250 x 75 mm. Do not shrink the entire design to a central 16:9 picture. Preserve normal object proportions and complete edge objects.
ALPHA: genuine transparent exterior and natural transparent openings inside the drawing. No white or cream rectangle, paper texture, sky wash, sea fill, provincial silhouette, checkerboard, aura, gradient or drop shadow. Unpainted architecture, water and negative openings reveal alpha. Colour belongs to actual drawn objects, never a vague backdrop. Do not reproduce any opaque field visible in the reference.
For C1–C6, create ONE connected varied panorama with two or three unequal anchors, overlapping near/middle/far scales and smaller discoveries. Connect through real terrain, streets, roofs, branches and human actions, not dotted diagram routes. No two-row sticker sheet, isolated equal scenes, caption boxes, repetitive generic gardens or an empty band under the title. Do not impose a percentage of blank space. C7 instead follows its explicit irregular album direction below.
English lettering only, exact spelling, dark clear capitals for allowed captions. One main regional title. No Chinese characters, logos, invented seals, pseudo-writing, promotional superlatives or health claims. A short legible caption is preferable to microscopic text. Respect the stated distinctions between growing tea, processing it, trading it and serving it. A full research inventory need not become a printed gazetteer.

COLLECTION: ONE LIVING TEA TERRITORY. Follow GD18: connected editorial tea geography with a broad change in scale. A foreground craft episode leads through connected slopes and settlement contours into far terrain. Use five-colour accents, intentional fine drawing and a strong condensed regional title integrated low in the composition. Never fill an administrative silhouette or make equal garden badges.
REGION: HUBEI.
PALETTE: #194C58, #AE3944, #80A58B, #C19B46, #9D7C99. Preserve this regional colour family; first colour supplies the strongest contour/text. Extra dark/light rendering colours and full-colour watercolour are not wanted.
RESEARCHED CONTENT:
Build the tea story from three contrasting close crafts and several real territories. Enshi Yulu: a maker works beside a shallow steam-fixation tray, then shapes fine needle leaves; draw only a few thin steam lines, no cloud backdrop. Lichuan Hong is black tea, represented by rolling darker twisted leaves at a separate western workbench. Xuan'en/Wujiatai has an upland picking and sorting scene. Wufeng/Caihua occupies another southwest slope with pointed green leaves and a modest timber eave. Yichang Maojian and Yidu Yihong share the river-side macro territory but show separate green-leaf sorting and black-tea rolling. Chibi/Zhaoliqiao Qingzhuan is dark tea pressed into substantial rectangular bricks, not green tea because of its name. Yingshan green tea grows in eastern Dabie hills; Wudang/Shiyan and Xiangyang are distinct northern tea territories. Yuan'an Huangcha has a small wrapped yellowing bundle. Wuhan/Hankou is a trade/tasting counter on the low river plain, not a plantation. These eleven research territories can fit through ten concise captions and differentiated craft cues; do not turn the whole lake plain into tea terraces.
AUTHORED COMPOSITION:
Create a low open river plain through the centre. West rises into Enshi/Lichuan, Xuan’en and Wufeng tea slopes, with the nearest steam-fixation craft at large scale. South-east brings Chibi brick pressing close to the viewer, while eastern Yingshan and northern Wudang/Xiangyang are farther garden shoulders. Yichang/Yidu sits on the passage between western hills and trade plain; Yuan’an wrapping is a small nearby craft. Wuhan is a modest tea-trading counter with a boat, never a garden. HUBEI integrates into the lower bank opening. Avoid a filled provincial silhouette or thousands of lake dots; the region reads through connected working places and changes in scale.
LETTERING PLAN:
HUBEI once. Captions: ENSHI, LICHUAN, XUANEN, WUFENG, YICHANG, CHIBI, YINGSHAN, WUDANG, XIANGYANG, YUANAN. Yidu rolling sits in the Yichang macro area; Wuhan trade is unlabelled.
REGIONAL SAFEGUARDS:
Enshi Yulu uses steam fixation; do not replace it with a roast-only story or call it the only steamed tea. Qingzhuan is dark tea, not green tea. Lichuan/Yidu black tea and Yuan’an yellow tea remain distinct. Lotus and medicinal herbs are not substituted for Camellia. No selenium-health claims, invented monastic rituals, or plantations across Wuhan/Honghu lake water.
FINAL STANDARD: sharply drawn object edges, deliberate line hierarchy, vivid meaningful local differences and a recognisable whole place. Protect the main title and key silhouettes; never solve complexity by making everything equally tiny.
