Use case: infographic-diagram. Create an original illustrated chapter infographic for Gateless by Sebastian Marshall and Kai Zau. Portrait composition, roughly 3:4. Editorial adaptation, not an original book graphic.
Visual mechanism: One recurring craftsperson lays a completed work sample beside a draft, invites another person to inspect and annotate it, then returns to the workbench to revise. The artifact remains visible through all stages. A modest display frame is supported by the actual workbench, conveying reputation resting on substance.
Exact main title: "Let the work make the claim"
Use exactly these three readable short captions, naturally placed near their relevant visual moments: "Show a real example"; "Ask for honest feedback"; "Keep room to improve".
Bottom footer, readable: "Gateless · Editorial interpretation"
Style: crafted editorial book illustration with fine ink contours and warm gouache textures; rich plum and muted violet, cream paper, terracotta accents. Generous breathing room, coherent scene with clear visual causality. Expressive ordinary people. Elegant legible serif title, restrained sans-serif captions. No dashboard, no grid of identical cards, no tiny paragraphs, no teal or green, no logos, no incidental text. Spell all requested wording precisely. Clear spatial progression and only a few unobtrusive arrows where useful.
Accuracy constraint: Editorial interpretation; evidence can improve understanding but cannot eliminate prejudice.
