# Aftertaste of Distance

IXIL · v47

The path traveled remains in a person just as the aftertaste of tea does. A broad red road runs across a textured paper map and gradually becomes the vein of a tea leaf. This is a tactile poster about the memory of a journey: layers, folds, and a tea trace replace the usual mountain panorama. Versys and the low IXIL are shown large, on a clear opening of the map; the English phrase holds the lower edge of the composition.

## Motorcycle in the reference

Kawasaki Versys 1000: the designation is legible in the photograph. Dark graphite-blue-gray body with silver panels and narrow green accents; tall transparent screen, crash bars, hand guards, empty luggage frames and rack, without panniers. A low black IXIL can is visible on the right. Year and exact exhaust article are not established.

## Key visual features — creative brief

One Versys 1000 from the photograph, predominantly right side view, nose pointing to the right.

Low-positioned black IXIL along the right rear, with visible white marking, metal joint and mount; do not substitute with a large silver stock canister.

Dark graphite-blue-gray and silver panels, narrow green stripes on the body and rims; do not repaint the motorcycle in the signature IXIL red.

Tall transparent screen, mirrors, hand protection, black protective arches, additional front lamp and orange fork reflector.

Luggage racks and rear platform are empty; do not add side cases or a top case.

The authentic black IXIL with the red subline exhaust from ixil-official-black-catalogue.png occupies about 15–18% of the width on a clean light background; the English phrase is conveyed exactly.

A Chinese gaiwan and an amber tea trail make the tea theme concrete, without decorative pseudo-hieroglyphs; the person, garage and number are excluded.

## Review basis

The final print PNG after placement, main texts and logos were checked; no significant digital defects found.

Approval relies on the preserved visual check of the final print file, not on the API completed fact. Microtext, vector logo accuracy and color proof are not certified.

Use case: stylized-concept.
Asset: a finished flat panoramic print for a 250 × 75 mm collectible tea mug wrap. Create ONLY the artwork, not a mug, product mockup, photograph of a print, board or room. Tea bowls or teapots drawn as subjects within the art are appropriate.

Reference hierarchy: Image 1 is the user's photograph of the real motorcycle(s) and installed exhaust(s). It supplies mechanical geometry, color, exhaust silhouette, mounting position and finish. Re-illustrate the required machine(s) in the selected visual medium. Omit the people, unrelated photo background and readable registration plates. Image 2 is the AUTHENTIC BRAND LOGO. Reproduce its letter shapes and icon faithfully. It must be a prominent standalone identity mark, crisp and complete, at least 14% of image width, with clear quiet space around it. Tiny lettering on the exhaust or motorcycle is insufficient on its own. Preserve the actual logo; never invent a badge, crest, skull, extra sponsor or generic replacement font. The exhaust brand is the hero identity; existing motorcycle-maker marks may remain on the machines but do not add enlarged motorcycle-manufacturer logos.

Canvas: extremely wide 3:1, ideally 3840 × 1280 or highest native wide detail available. The final 10:3 print is assembled proportionally with a small trim of outer background bands. Keep top and bottom outermost 8% plain opaque white. Place the complete artwork within the central 84% of the canvas height. Keep EVERY Chinese/Latin character, the mandatory brand logo, BOTH wheels, exhaust outlets, mirrors and windscreen wholly inside the central 72% of the height and 5% inset from left and right. Do not let tall motorcycle mirrors breach the safe area. Never stretch a motorcycle to fill the strip. A complete, balanced panoramic image with legible shapes at 75 mm physical height.

Text: only the exact headline below and authentic brand/model identity. Chinese, English or Spanish as specified. No random labels, fabricated dyno figures, legal certifications, sponsor names, dates or watermarks. Latin spelling and Chinese strokes must be accurate and complete. Text must be intentionally composed, not tiny decorative filler.

Creative quality: detailed and beautifully resolved, one coherent crafted medium, dramatic hierarchy, a clear connection between exhaust sound, Chinese tea ritual and riding. Tea is a parallel human ritual, never poured into the exhaust or engine. No suggestion that exhaust fumes become drinkable steam. No generic mixed-Asian motifs. Preserve the supplied exhaust configuration rather than reverting to a stock motorcycle.


Brand: IXIL. Mandatory logo: the supplied italic IXIL logo with red exhaust signature. Exact headline: DISTANCE HAS AN AFTERTASTE.

Create a tactile route poster in which distance becomes an aftertaste. Treat the entire image as a physically assembled cartographic object: thick ivory cotton paper, pressure-embossed contour lines, graphite relief shapes, one visible fold and a broad scarlet route. Avoid a scenic horizon or a conventional mountain panorama. The map is an invented poetic terrain, without geographic labels, coordinates or technical scales. Its red road gradually resolves into the branching vein of a pressed tea leaf, connecting travel with the memory that remains after drinking.

Place the exact photographed Kawasaki Versys 1000 prominently in the upper-right and central area, facing right in its near-side profile. Give it enough width to read its equipment and exposed exhaust at a glance. Preserve the metallic dark charcoal and blue-grey tank and body, silver-grey panels, narrow bright green body accents and rim stripes, black cast wheels and road tyres. Keep the tall clear windshield, both mirrors, black handguards, tubular crash protection, auxiliary front light, amber fork reflector, long stepped black seat and empty rear luggage frames and platform. There are no installed panniers or topcase. Remove the person and workshop; do not invent adventure luggage or repaint the bike scarlet.

Make the LOW black IXIL silencer along the motorcycle's right rear flank conspicuous against a quiet ivory opening in the map. Preserve its photographed compact shape, slight upward angle, visible white IXIL branding, metallic collar, connecting pipe and mounting relationship. Keep the curved metallic headers and engine structure credible. Never substitute a large silver stock exhaust, hide the can behind a contour ridge, or place decorative paper across it. The motorcycle remains a precise material object rather than a loose silhouette.

At the lower left, let an incomplete amber tea stain mark the map's emotional origin. Beside it sits a small Chinese porcelain gaiwan with its lid offset, its circular lip catching warm light. A few real tea leaves cast tiny shadows onto the embossed paper. Let the scarlet route pass close to this quiet ritual and continue into leaf veins, without entering the cup or connecting physically to the exhaust. Use tactile depth sparingly: blind embossing, compressed fibres and blunt printing pressure, not excessive collage clutter.

Set the exact headline DISTANCE HAS AN AFTERTASTE. boldly across the lower field in uncompromising condensed black typography, with deliberate spacing and the period intact. Place the supplied black IXIL logo with red exhaust subline on a clean ivory panel at the upper left, approximately fifteen to eighteen percent of the composition's width. Preserve its exact proportions and clear space. Keep manufacturer graphics only on the actual motorcycle. Add no performance promises, sound ratings, product specifications or certification marks.

--- FINAL COMPOSITION EDIT ---

Use case: precise-object-edit.
Create a 3:1 ULTRAWIDE PANORAMIC finished artwork by carefully reframing the supplied artwork. This is a 250x75mm horizontal wrap design and must be MUCH WIDER THAN IT IS TALL.

Change ONLY the framing/scale and outer paper field. Preserve the exact motorcycle and photographed aftermarket IXIL exhaust, color, equipment, clear official IXIL exhaust logo, exact headline "DISTANCE HAS AN AFTERTASTE.", tea objects, composition and visual material from the supplied image. Do not change any spelling or logo geometry. Do not introduce a new illustration style or content.

The input is too tall and its important subjects reach the top/bottom edge. Zoom its complete composition out uniformly and extend the paper background horizontally. The resulting canvas must be 3:1, ideally 3840x1280 or highest native resolution available. Put the ENTIRE design, including logo, every headline stroke, full wheels and tall mirrors/windscreen, inside the CENTRAL 72% OF CANVAS HEIGHT, with broad clean paper bands above and below (about14% each). Leave at least5% breathing room left/right. Both wheels must have fully complete tyre contours, with visible paper/ground clearance below them; restore any tiny wheel contour clipped by the original lower edge. Preserve true motorcycle proportions, never stretch it. Extend only the quiet paper/background textures to make the wider panorama cohesive.

Mandatory dominant standalone IXIL logo remains crisp and complete in its current black-on-ivory field with red exhaust subline. The short supplied IXIL muffler stays exposed, exactly in its original mounting position and shape. Text "DISTANCE HAS AN AFTERTASTE." remains fully legible. No mockup, no physical mug, no frame, no new text. This is a production framing correction with generous print safety, not a new concept.
