Retro photo of a sulky boy in glasses and sweater vest on a sofa

Faded 1970s-style family photo of a grumpy boy with a bowl haircut, oversized glasses, bow tie and maroon sweater vest slouched on a tan leather sofa against patterned curtains. The print is slightly rotated over a powder-blue background with a faint floral silhouette. A pale blue sticky note casts a soft shadow for tactile, scrapbook realism. Humour comes from the awkward childhood-portrait framing.

Layout: A tilted, white-bordered vintage photograph fills the top and right of the frame on a pale blue base; a blue sticky note overlaps its lower left carrying the handwritten headline and date, with a circular gold emblem and tagline in the bottom right.
Typography: Loose black marker handwriting for the headline; clean regular sans for date and tagline.

Design an original Mother's Day poster for my brand, following the art direction below. It describes a reference design in full, so you don't need to see the reference.

My brand: [my brand], [what my business sells].
Language for any text on the design: English.
Size: 1080 × 1542 px (same shape as the reference).

Art direction to follow:
- The idea: Retro photo of a sulky boy in glasses and sweater vest on a sofa.
- Look and feel: Faded 1970s-style family photo of a grumpy boy with a bowl haircut, oversized glasses, bow tie and maroon sweater vest slouched on a tan leather sofa against patterned curtains. The print is slightly rotated over a powder-blue background with a faint floral silhouette. A pale blue sticky note casts a soft shadow for tactile, scrapbook realism. Humour comes from the awkward childhood-portrait framing.
- Layout: A tilted, white-bordered vintage photograph fills the top and right of the frame on a pale blue base; a blue sticky note overlaps its lower left carrying the handwritten headline and date, with a circular gold emblem and tagline in the bottom right.
- Typography: Loose black marker handwriting for the headline; clean regular sans for date and tagline.
- Colours: #d0ded5, #3e3330, #8ebcc4, #996e49, #645441, #b0895c (background #8ebcc4, text #3e3330, accent #b0895c).
- Mood and details: witty, nostalgic, ironic, vintage photo print, sticky note, handwritten text, child in glasses, emblem badge.
- Reference image, only if you can open it: https://media.uidiscovery.com/captures/creatives/108227197277355194-239c1bcf6ab2.jpg (if you can't, carry on from these notes; don't ask me for it).

Rules:
- Build the same kind of idea around [my brand]: make my product or service the hero, the way the reference does. Don't copy its artwork, people, products, logo or text.
- Leave a clean space for my logo. Never invent a logo, prices, phone numbers or claims.
- One strong idea, few words, and text large enough to read on a phone.

Before you design, ask me for my brand name and what my business sells. Then create the image.
