Worn red child's backpack covered in trauma patches

The background is a clean white-to-grey studio sweep with a soft shadow under a faded, torn red canvas backpack. The patches look like souvenir badges, but each one tells of a refugee's trauma, and that twist carries the concept. The muted reds, teals and greys feel worn and real. It is a restrained newspaper-ad finish with a practical tear-off form.

Layout: A large cropped backpack fills the left two-thirds, with a left-aligned serif headline and body copy on the right over white space. The mastheads sit top-right, a circular appeal badge sits bottom-right, and a detailed donation coupon runs across the bottom band.
Typography: Large light editorial serif headline; bold serif for the CTA; small serif and sans in the coupon.

Design an original Christmas 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 × 1662 px (same shape as the reference).

Art direction to follow:
- The idea: Worn red child's backpack covered in trauma patches.
- Look and feel: The background is a clean white-to-grey studio sweep with a soft shadow under a faded, torn red canvas backpack. The patches look like souvenir badges, but each one tells of a refugee's trauma, and that twist carries the concept. The muted reds, teals and greys feel worn and real. It is a restrained newspaper-ad finish with a practical tear-off form.
- Layout: A large cropped backpack fills the left two-thirds, with a left-aligned serif headline and body copy on the right over white space. The mastheads sit top-right, a circular appeal badge sits bottom-right, and a detailed donation coupon runs across the bottom band.
- Typography: Large light editorial serif headline; bold serif for the CTA; small serif and sans in the coupon.
- Colours: #f0f0f0, #d8d8d8, #963d33, #bb594c, #bab7b6, #642523 (background #f0f0f0, text #642523, accent #bb594c).
- Mood and details: somber, poignant, urgent, worn child's backpack, travel patches, torn fabric, donation coupon.
- Reference image, only if you can open it: https://media.uidiscovery.com/captures/creatives/25051341671992820-be0d44983cba.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.
