Copy-ready prompt
Objective: Create a name{argument name="city title" default="LONDON — NOCTURNAL URBAN ARCHIVE"} A cinematic, physical museum 3D model map presents London as a 3D architectural archive placed on a flat map project. Canvas: Widescreen 16:9 horizontal image, three-quarters overhead view, the entire project is clearly visible on a dark matte desktop. Uses restrained nighttime tones: deep navy paper, charcoal grey streets, warm amber city lights, soft gold map lines, deep blue water, and delicate greyish-white typography. Main scene: Construct a detailed miniature relief map of central London, with the Thames meandering through the lower left and right. Streets should be presented as a dense grid of fine lines, dotted with thousands of tiny warm-colored lights. Parks are deep green recessed areas. Buildings are low, matte protrusions, while key landmarks are taller and more sculptural. Give the model a tactile and physical feel: paper texture, beveled edges of the project, projections, miniature boats on the river, and realistic museum display lighting. Landmarks and Labels: Includes 6 vertically upward-pointing labels with thin gold guide lines and small capital letters: 1) Buckingham Palace, 2) Big Ben / Palace of Westminster, 3) St. Paul's Cathedral, 4) The Shard, 5) The Gherkin, 6) Canary Wharf. Place them from left to right along the top edge. Westminster Palace and Big Ben near the Thames require warm lighting; St. Paul's Cathedral features an illuminated dome; The Shard is a soaring, pointed glass spire; The Gherkin is a rounded bullet-shaped tower; Canary Wharf is a group of golden high-rise buildings; and Tower Bridge is an illuminated bridge spanning the Thames. Map Labels: Add small-capitalized labels for blocks and locations directly to the map, including Regent's Park, Marylebone, Oxford Street, Paddington, Hyde Park, Green Park, St. James's Park, Buckingham Palace, Kensington, Victoria, Westminster, Southwark, City of London, London Bridge, Tower Bridge, Bermondsey, Greenwich, River Thames, The Shard, The Gherkin, and The Tower of London. Use soft cream or light gold fonts that conform to archival map aesthetics. Grid and Border System: Overlay a precise atlas-style index grid with letters at the top and numbers on the sides. Use thin gold grid lines, double borders, and a sculpted archival drawing style. The project should look like a high-end landscape archival model, not a digital screenshot. Bottom Information Bar: Retain a full-width map footer divided into multiple framed panels. The left panel contains a legend with six symbol entries: major landmarks, historic buildings, parks/green spaces, bodies of water, bridges, and train stations. The center panel contains a large title.{argument name="city title" default="LONDON — NOCTURNAL URBAN ARCHIVE"} ,subtitle{argument name="subtitle text" default="LANDSCAPE ARCHIVE MODEL"} Archive Code{argument name="archive code" default="ARCHIVE CODE: LDN-NAM-2024-001"} And a scale marked in miles and kilometers (0 to 3 miles and 0 to 3 kilometers). The right side includes a compass rose, a small illustration of an index grid map, and coordinate instructions.{argument name="coordinate note" default="COORDINATE SYSTEM — BRITISH NATIONAL GRID — TRANSVERSE MERCATOR — OSGB 1936"} Style restrictions: Ultra-refined, editorial-grade product photography; realistic miniature materials; clear but tiny readable fonts; warm amber highlights in cool navy blue shadows; shallow depth of field only at the very edges; no portraits; no modern UI; no watermarks; no additional legends or landmarks except for the specified number.
