Copy-ready prompt
A retro-style hand-drawn Chinese infographic, printed on off-white textured paper with a torn edge, uses a two-tone printing of deep purple and bright cyan, combined with halftone shading and poster-like cartoon lines. The image contrasts intuitive, hand-crafted cooking with tool-assisted cooking and cognitive externalization. On the left, an adult chef in an apron is dramatically stirring a wok, accompanied by flames, splattering ingredients, swirling smoke, and dynamic lines of motion; the chef's face is obscured by a rectangular blur. Above his head is a glowing, brain-shaped thought bubble containing three small icons: a spice bottle, a flame, and a timer/clock, radiating light outwards. In the lower left corner, a broken chain hangs next to the prominent Chinese characters “全凭手感” (all by feel). Below the chef, a small figure is confusedly stirring a bowl, looking anxious, surrounded by exactly four question marks. In the center of the image, multiple thick arrows point from the chef's intuition to a structured cooking workflow. Above, in the center, are the prominent Chinese characters “抄着做” (do as instructed). Below, a hand holds a smartphone with clear Chinese text displayed on the screen, including "5 grams of salt" and "3 minutes over medium heat," and a finger is tapping the screen. Around the phone are measuring tools and ingredients: two measuring spoons, one measuring cup, one electronic scale, and six neatly arranged small bowls. Next to it is a steaming pot and a finished dish. Beside the finished dish is the Chinese text "7/8" and a 5-star rating, with four solid stars and one hollow star. To the right is a concept diagram of cognitive externalization, showing a smiling stick figure chef standing behind a table. The node network is connected by cyan lines and contains exactly six tool/information nodes: a smart oven at the top, two packets of seasoning labeled "seasoning packet" and "sauce packet" respectively, a clipboard labeled "precise recipe," a blender, a rice cooker, and a recipe note. At the center of the network is the prominent Chinese characters "Cognitive Externalization." On the table in front of the stick figure are exactly five plates/bowls of prepared food. At the bottom is a simplified cognitive formula: a brain icon pointing to a smaller brain icon, followed by a set of external tools/documents (including a phone screen, a microwave-like device, and three paper/manual items), then an equal sign, and finally a silhouette of a muscular human with gears inside a torso and an upward arrow near the shoulder. Below or next to this formula is the bold Chinese text "Brain + External Tools = Greater Abilities," with the first character "Brain" also displayed separately below the brain icon on the left. Using expressive sketched arrows, doodle lightning bolts, cartoonish emphasis symbols, and a balanced left-to-right flow, the design visually conveys the shift from pure intuition to a repeatable system and enhanced capabilities.
