18th-century woman in oil painting reading a book while wearing modern headphones

A rococo-style oil painting in warm sepia and umber tones shows a powdered-wig woman with ruffled lace dress, hand to forehead, reading an old leather book while wearing sleek silver over-ear headphones; blurred noisy figures fill the background. Soft painterly lighting falls on her face. The painting is framed by textured cream paper bands with torn, deckled edges and a dark wood-toned footer. The humour comes from the anachronistic headphones against the museum-painting finish.

- Look and feel: A rococo-style oil painting in warm sepia and umber tones shows a powdered-wig woman with ruffled lace dress, hand to forehead, reading an old leather book while wearing sleek silver over-ear headphones; blurred noisy figures fill the background. Soft painterly lighting falls on her face. The painting is framed by textured cream paper bands with torn, deckled edges and a dark wood-toned footer. The humour comes from the anachronistic headphones against the museum-painting finish.
- Layout: Centered serif headline on a cream parchment band at top, a wide painted panel filling the middle, then a second parchment band with tagline and CTA, closed by a dark brown footer strip with the centered logo.

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.
