Shandong — Coastal tea word

PRINT CALIBRATION — Create a completely NEW region-specific illustration, borrowing ONLY the line quality and composition intelligence from the reference. Do not copy the reference region, its title or its place names. Draw the region named below. Absolutely sharp, clean edges; no blur, smudging, cloudy shading or atmospheric washes. All letterforms exact. Keep every major object, title and letter entirely inside the canvas with a clear 80-pixel safety margin; no straight vertical cutoffs at the sides. RGBA with truly empty alpha between objects.

Create an exceptional original flat illustration for a collectible tea-region ceramic wrap. The attached image is a STYLE reference, not a content reference: preserve its drawing intelligence, print character and relationship between title, scenes and empty glaze; replace every Guangdong-specific subject and word. Output one panoramic native 3840 x 1280 pixel PNG with a genuine RGBA alpha channel. All artwork, including lettering, must remain wholly inside x60..3780 and y110..1170. The upper and lower outside bands and the external negative space must be transparent, not white paint. The final production crop will be 3840 x 1152 pixels for a 250 x 75 mm wrap; do not draw dimensions, crop marks or a frame. No mug, mockup, photograph, simulated paper, decorative rectangular background, cast shadow, checkerboard or watermark.

DRAWING AND PRINT DISCIPLINE: Use confident authored linework, recognisable local silhouettes, selective flat colour and well-resolved hands, vessels and architecture. Details reward close looking but the main story reads across a small ceramic surface. Colour belongs to actual drawn objects or deliberate bounded accents. Transparent sky, river openings, architectural gaps and open vessel interiors are part of the design. Do not use a continuous opaque landscape base, atmosphere wash, cream substrate or enormous filled silhouette behind everything. Keep deliberate pauses between major masses without making a sticker sheet. Never cut off a letter, roof, person, handle or tree at the image boundary. Do not scatter repeated generic teapots as filler. Each featured tea action must communicate a different part of the region's tea story. This is an illustrated interpretation, not a navigable map: no compass, coordinate grid, dotted connectors, numbered pins, legend or tiny labels.

COLLECTION C2 — GRAND TEA LETTERING.
Five-colour hand-drawn grand serif lettering integrated with a connected regional tea world. The large single region word is the unmistakable structural hero, fully readable with clean counters and open interiors. Put real scenes around the letter feet, in the intervals and behind selected edges. Do NOT fill the letters with photographs or landscape textures, disguise letters as mountains, or cover their skeleton. A branch, roof or working hand may cross one small edge. The letter rhythm binds varied human-scale discoveries into one authored composition.

REGION: SHANDONG. EXACT PALETTE: #244F67, #D08836, #819853, #B76658, #6FADB3. Use only these opaque graphic inks and their clean antialiased edges; no white ink, black substitution or extra colours. Transparent negative space is not an additional ink.

Set SHANDONG in commanding open serif lettering. Around its lower edges place five distinct tea discoveries: Laoshan granite-backed tea picking, Rizhao leaf-spreading racks, Junan pan work, Yishui hillside baskets and Linshu tea tasting. A broad leaf spray crosses a small serif at the left; the last G counter remains clean and readable beside a tiny coast-facing farmhouse. Sea is only suggested by broken short contours and a distant boat, never a blue rectangular fill. The word itself remains solid graphic ink or clear outlined form, not scenery-filled letters.

REGIONAL TRUTH: Shandong's documented tea identities include Laoshan green tea around Qingdao, Rizhao green tea and the Yimeng tea area around Linyi. Wanggezhuang is a major Laoshan growing and processing locality; Rizhao has tea producers in Lanshan and Ju County. Junan, Yishui and Linshu are real parts of the Yimeng tea story. Show northern coastal cultivation in low hedges, leaf handling, processing and drinking, not tea bushes growing in seawater. Taishan and Qufu are cultural landmarks, not evidence for monastic tea estates. Do not claim that Laoshan is the only seaside tea or that all Shandong hills are planted with tea.

SPECIFIC COMPOSITION: A connected low tea-work terrace supports the word's rhythm, interrupted by transparent passages under bench and roof. One large rack reaches forward at left and the tea host balances it at right. Keep the five captions on quiet local edges and maintain wide breathing space around the complete headline.

TEXT: Main title exactly "SHANDONG". Secondary labels, each once and attached to its correct scene: Laoshan; Rizhao; Junan; Yishui; Linshu. No other text.

FINAL ART DIRECTION: Make every major group different in scale and gesture. Do not give every scene a surrounding halo or a separate base. A viewer should discover a clear regional idea at arm's length and then human actions, leaf shapes and local building features nearby. Keep the specified palette visible as actual graphic inks, not merely a tint over green scenery. Do not add unrequested slogans, stamps, logos, dates, Chinese characters or gibberish. The exact allowed English words below are the entire text vocabulary. Keep secondary words comfortably readable if allowed; omit a minor caption rather than shrinking it to microscopic lettering. Render the regional title exactly once and complete, with comfortable space around it. No extra title repeated on vessels or buildings. Draw a finished cohesive piece of print art, never a presentation board.
