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

- 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. SJC ↔ HNL direct: 5h 45min flight

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): plane silhouette over ocean, small map of Pacific with route line

Hand-printed editorial restraint. Strong serif typography. Numbers prominent. Aspect ratio 4:5 portrait. 4K resolution print quality.

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