Stack of books on a stool topped by a hand-drawn martini glass

Warm cream paper background with a duotone navy-indigo photocopy treatment on a photographic stack of books resting on a round bentwood stool. A loose ink line-drawing of a cocktail glass with olives crowns the stack. Cut-out letter tiles in mismatched fonts double as book spines, giving a zine/risograph feel. Flat, slightly grainy print finish.

Layout: Centered vertical stack of books on a stool fills the middle, with a martini glass sketch balanced on top; event title and details are collaged as book spines. Small italic info sits in the four corners with generous cream negative space.
Typography: Ransom-note cut-out mix of chunky slab, bold grotesque and serif letters; elegant italic serif for corner details.

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 × 1440 px (same shape as the reference).

Art direction to follow:
- The idea: Stack of books on a stool topped by a hand-drawn martini glass.
- Look and feel: Warm cream paper background with a duotone navy-indigo photocopy treatment on a photographic stack of books resting on a round bentwood stool. A loose ink line-drawing of a cocktail glass with olives crowns the stack. Cut-out letter tiles in mismatched fonts double as book spines, giving a zine/risograph feel. Flat, slightly grainy print finish.
- Layout: Centered vertical stack of books on a stool fills the middle, with a martini glass sketch balanced on top; event title and details are collaged as book spines. Small italic info sits in the four corners with generous cream negative space.
- Typography: Ransom-note cut-out mix of chunky slab, bold grotesque and serif letters; elegant italic serif for corner details.
- Colours: #ede4d6, #cec7c7, #afabb6, #938fa3, #75728d, #59577b (background #ede4d6, text #59577b, accent #59577b).
- Mood and details: playful, witty, indie, stacked books, martini glass, ransom-note letters, wooden stool, penguin logo.
- Reference image, only if you can open it: https://media.uidiscovery.com/captures/creatives/483222235041092067-a439fa3a6cba.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.
