Books stacked into a twisting DNA double-helix

Soft warm beige gradient backdrop with a subtle vignette and cast shadow on the floor. Hundreds of 3D-rendered hardcover books in dusty pink, coral, mauve, purple and occasional yellow and green stack into a leaning helix shape. Diffuse studio lighting gives gentle highlights on page edges. Muted, harmonious palette and generous negative space keep focus on the sculptural hero.

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 × 1397 px (same shape as the reference).

Art direction to follow:
- The idea: Books stacked into a twisting DNA double-helix.
- Look and feel: Soft warm beige gradient backdrop with a subtle vignette and cast shadow on the floor. Hundreds of 3D-rendered hardcover books in dusty pink, coral, mauve, purple and occasional yellow and green stack into a leaning helix shape. Diffuse studio lighting gives gentle highlights on page edges. Muted, harmonious palette and generous negative space keep focus on the sculptural hero.
- Layout: A tall spiral of books rises diagonally from lower left to top edge, filling the center; single-line tagline sits bottom-left with the brand lockup bottom-right on a clean beige field.
- Typography: Light condensed sans caps with two-tone emphasis (orange and dark); brand in bold condensed slab-style caps with small spaced serif subline.
- Colours: #e8d5c5, #d1bbad, #ba9f92, #a08177, #86655d, #6f4543 (background #e8d5c5, text #6f4543, accent #6f4543).
- Mood and details: calm, clever, sophisticated, stacked books, spiral tower, DNA helix, soft shadow.
- Reference image, only if you can open it: https://media.uidiscovery.com/captures/creatives/192951165282007212-e03704b654d3.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.
