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

HEADER (top of poster): Bold elegant serif title "HONOLULU — OFF-CAMPUS FOOD". A small badge in the top-right corner reads "KAPIʻOLANI CC — HONOLULU, HI" inside a circle filled with Pacific teal (#1F6F7A).

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: Pacific teal #1F6F7A
- Secondary accent: sun ochre #D9A23A

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

   2. Local chains: Foodland, Times Supermarket, Don Quijote
   3. Mainland: Safeway, Costco, Whole Foods
   4. Single renter food contributes to ~$2,500–$3,200/mo all-in
   5. Honolulu food scene: poké, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, Hawaiian
   6. Kaimuki + Kapahulu: dense walkable restaurant district near KCC

   9. Trader Joeʻs in Kahala (3 mi) + Iwilei (5 mi)

The big numbers (like "249", "$1,200", "1,250 miles") should be BIG and prominent in #1F6F7A, 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): grocery cart, rice bowl, small storefront, tropical fruit

## 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 kcc-food-offcampus.png; re-run `bun generate-all.ts kcc-food-offcampus.png`
- **To add/remove data points**: edit the `data` array in SPECS for kcc-food-offcampus.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
