GPT Image
Full sentences. Describe the scene, then the medium, then the flaws you want kept in.
The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the prompt updates.
A soft muted painted landscape printed directly on top of a spread of aged newsprint, so that columns of small grey type show through the paler passages of the painting and disappear behind the darker ones. Tanned paper, a crease down the centre fold, slightly uneven ink coverage. The type must be unreadable texture rather than legible words. Quiet scene against dense paper.

Tips
- 1Say the type is unreadable texture. Legible words come out garbled.

- 3A centre fold sells it as a real spread.
