EDITORIAL INFOGRAPHIC POSTER, hand-printed magazine spread aesthetic, 4:5 portrait orientation, 4K print quality.

HEADER (top of poster): Bold elegant serif title "APTOS, CA — CLIMATE". A small badge in the top-right corner reads "CABRILLO COLLEGE — APTOS, CA" inside a circle filled with deep ocean navy (#2D4A6B).

BACKGROUND: Warm cream paper texture #F4ECDC throughout, with subtle hand-printed grain. NO white background.

PALETTE (use ONLY these colors, no others):
- Paper background: #F4ECDC
- Body typography (deep coffee ink): #2A1810
- Primary accent for icons + key numbers: deep ocean navy #2D4A6B
- Secondary accent: warm sand #C9B284

BODY (vertical editorial layout, generous whitespace, with iconography paired to each data point). Render these EXACT data points verbatim, in this order:

   1. 262 days/yr of comfortable weather
   2. ~3,287 sunshine hours/year (high range)
   3. August high: 77°F (warmest month)
   4. December high: 61°F (coolest month)
   5. Typical range: 42°F–73°F · rarely below 34 or above 85
   6. Annual rainfall: ~29 inches (wettest in January)
   7. Coastal Mediterranean — short, comfortable, dry summers
   8. Marine layer mornings common (Jun–Aug)

   10. Humidity range 68% (Oct) – 75% (Mar)

The big numbers (like "249", "$1,200", "1,250 miles") should be BIG and prominent in #2D4A6B, with smaller ink labels next to them. Use a clean geometric sans-serif for data labels and an elegant serif for the headline.

ICONOGRAPHY (hand-drawn, minimalist line illustrations only — no photographs): sun behind low fog, ocean wave, redwood tree silhouette, raindrop

## Adjustment hints
- **To re-render at higher resolution**: this script already requests 4K; if rendering quality is off, increase resolution by editing the `--size 4K` flag in generate-all.ts to a future tier
- **To adjust color temperature**: change `accent` and `secondary` hex codes in the SPECS entry for cabrillo-climate.png; re-run `bun generate-all.ts cabrillo-climate.png`
- **To add/remove data points**: edit the `data` array in SPECS for cabrillo-climate.png; the prompt rebuilds automatically
- **To shift layout (vertical vs grid)**: append a layout directive after the BODY paragraph in buildPrompt(); re-run
- **To swap iconography**: edit the `iconography` array in SPECS
