Chimpanzee face painted with sad clown makeup behind cage bars

Pitch-black background with dramatic low-key lighting on the chimpanzee's face, painted with white eye patches, a red nose, oversized red lips, yellow outlines and a blue tear. Dark, corroded foreground bars break up the face to show captivity. Warm brown and red tones stand out against the black. The finish is a gritty, high-detail photographic composite with a vintage circus-poster type treatment.

Layout: A close-up chimp face fills the frame behind vertical rusty bars. The headline and a narrow body-copy column sit left-aligned in the lower left, with a ribbon badge and URLs beneath them and partner logos at bottom right.
Typography: Outlined vintage circus slab-serif caps for the headline, a small condensed sans for the body, and a retro ribbon banner in woodtype style.

Design an original 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 × 1487 px (same shape as the reference).

Art direction to follow:
- The idea: Chimpanzee face painted with sad clown makeup behind cage bars.
- Look and feel: Pitch-black background with dramatic low-key lighting on the chimpanzee's face, painted with white eye patches, a red nose, oversized red lips, yellow outlines and a blue tear. Dark, corroded foreground bars break up the face to show captivity. Warm brown and red tones stand out against the black. The finish is a gritty, high-detail photographic composite with a vintage circus-poster type treatment.
- Layout: A close-up chimp face fills the frame behind vertical rusty bars. The headline and a narrow body-copy column sit left-aligned in the lower left, with a ribbon badge and URLs beneath them and partner logos at bottom right.
- Typography: Outlined vintage circus slab-serif caps for the headline, a small condensed sans for the body, and a retro ribbon banner in woodtype style.
- Colours: #040403, #16120f, #2c2321, #453833, #64554b, #917a6c (background #040403, text #917a6c, accent #917a6c).

- Reference image, only if you can open it: https://media.uidiscovery.com/captures/creatives/139048707221215486-9365f16d2bbc.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.
