Copy-ready prompt
A photorealistic newspaper, taken from a three-quarter view from above, sits folded on a dark wood desk, its style mimicking a famous American business daily from the 1980s to the 2000s. The newspaper features a clear, lifelike texture of newsprint, subtle paper creases, and slightly worn folded edges. Warm morning light casts diagonal window shadows across the pages. The masthead occupies the top, written in bold, large, classic serif capital letters.{argument name="newspaper name" default="THE WALL STREET DAILY."} Below it is a thin header containing details of the small financial newspaper: "DOW JONES", "News Corp", the date line "MONDAY, APRIL 20, 2026 – VOL. CCLXXXV NO. 90", "WSJ.com", a star rating line, and the price "$5.00". The main news is located in the upper left center, with a large, bold serif headline.{argument name="main headline" default="Cook to Step Down as Apple CEO; Ternus Named Successor"} Below is a smaller serif subheading: “Transition caps 15-year run; company pivots to AI-driven future.” Add a line of small capital letters byline including the two journalists: “By Tim Higgins” and “And Joanna Stern.” The main body is filled with dense, fully readable multi-column news articles about Tim Cook’s departure as Apple CEO, John Tenus’s succession, Apple’s growth, AI strategy, and corporate transformation; the text should read like solid financial news, not placeholder gibberish. To the right of the main article is a black-and-white, woodcut-style portrait of a male executive, wearing a shirt and jacket, centered in the rectangular image area; his face is partially obscured by a light gray square above his eyes and nose, creating a modern ironic effect. In the upper right corner, there is a sidebar titled "What's New," containing two subheadings: "Business & Finance" and "World-Wide," each followed by a brief summary in small serif font. "Business & Finance" contains three points, and "World-Wide" contains four. All content must be fully formatted and clearly readable. Below the main news, a second-level banner article spanning the entire page is added, titled "Silicon Valley Braces for New Chapter in AI Arms Race," attributed to "By Liz Hoffman," and accompanied by several short articles about large tech companies, startups, OpenAI, Google, Meta, chips, platforms, and the AI competition. To the right of this lower-middle area, a compact market table is inserted, titled "Markets," with four rows of labels: "DOW JONES," "S&P 500," "NASDAQ," and "10-YR. TREASURY," and columns for index/value/change/percentage, using a realistic newspaper table format and actual figures. At the bottom of the front page, there are three preview boxes: the left box is labeled "Heard on the Street," with the headline "Why Investors Are Rethinking Big Tech," and is marked "B12"; the middle box is labeled "Markets," with the headline "Earnings Season Lifts Stocks Despite Rate Uncertainty," and is marked "B1"; the right box is labeled "Inside," with the headline "Private Credit Sees Inflow Surge as Yields Stay High," and is marked "B14." All typography is kept clean, sharp, and fully readable, with consistent alignment in an authentic newspaper grid layout, thin lines separating columns, justified text, a classic serif font, and realistic print contrast. The newspaper is slightly rotated clockwise on a tabletop. In the environment, a white ceramic mug containing black coffee is placed in the upper right corner, and a pair of dark-rimmed glasses sits near the lower right edge of the newspaper. The upper left corner contains the cropped edge of a dark cylindrical object, resembling a camera lens or a flat-bottomed mug. Overall feel: High-end editorial mockup front page, serious business journalism aesthetics, believable print photography feel, ultra-high detail, natural shadows, high resolution.
