## Review basis

HUBEI reads well as a colored base; the tea actions around the letters are distinguishable. Names are clear, outlines and faces are clean, large objects are preserved.

RENDERING REQUIREMENTS: Produce a new, completely crisp region-specific illustration. Borrow ONLY drawing style from the references; do not copy their region, title or place names. Use the exact region and English lettering in the brief. No blurred patches, mist, smoky shading, translucent brush smears or soft-focus architectural details. No clipping of objects or letters: keep an 80-pixel clear safety margin around the complete composition. True PNG RGBA transparency between the drawn shapes; no opaque white or coloured backing. Sharp ink edges, legible deliberate lettering.

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: A LIVING REGIONAL WORD. Follow the supplied GD22 reference: a monumental original serif region name interlocks with illustrated tea life. Make each letter instantly legible. Roofs tuck under terminals, branches overlap selected edges, people work at letter bases, and regional landforms flow between counters. Crisp decorative pen illustration and selective five-colour accents, never a painting pasted inside letters.
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:
Make HUBEI a monumental original serif word. H stands over an Enshi maker and open steam tray, U opens toward a river trading counter, B rests near the Chibi brick press, E shelters a Wufeng sorting board and I rises beside a narrow tea shoot. A few low roofs and distant Wudang/Yingshan slopes pass behind selected letter edges, not inside every letter as painted scenery. Lichuan and Yidu black-tea hands work at separate lower tables; Yuan’an yellowing cloth and Xiangyang leaves are small clear discoveries. Preserve all counters and exact letters. Five inks accent real tools, leaves and roofs; tiny tea captions are dark upright capitals.
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.
