Retro-label matchboxes on a brass thali with a diya

Styled product photography set against a saturated orange-red wall, with a golden brocade cloth under a hammered brass plate. Four matchboxes with kitschy vintage Indian illustrated labels are arranged on the plate with betel leaves, while marigold clusters frame the corners. A hand with red nails strikes a match to light a clay diya. Warm, even studio lighting gives a nostalgic, handcrafted festive feel.

Layout: A large centred headline sits in the top quarter, with a small Hindi line above it and English below. The product still life fills the lower two-thirds, with a hand lighting a diya at the right. The CTA runs centred along the bottom edge.
Typography: Chunky retro display serif caps in cream with a dark drop shadow, evoking vintage cinema posters; small Devanagari and bold sans caps accents.

Design an original Diwali Instagram post 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 × 1350 px (Instagram portrait).

Art direction to follow:
- The idea: Retro-label matchboxes on a brass thali with a diya.
- Look and feel: Styled product photography set against a saturated orange-red wall, with a golden brocade cloth under a hammered brass plate. Four matchboxes with kitschy vintage Indian illustrated labels are arranged on the plate with betel leaves, while marigold clusters frame the corners. A hand with red nails strikes a match to light a clay diya. Warm, even studio lighting gives a nostalgic, handcrafted festive feel.
- Layout: A large centred headline sits in the top quarter, with a small Hindi line above it and English below. The product still life fills the lower two-thirds, with a hand lighting a diya at the right. The CTA runs centred along the bottom edge.
- Typography: Chunky retro display serif caps in cream with a dark drop shadow, evoking vintage cinema posters; small Devanagari and bold sans caps accents.
- Colours: #ec4514, #f3b24f, #d98236, #b54514, #96762e, #581d09 (background #ec4514, text #581d09, accent #b54514).

- Reference image, only if you can open it: https://media.uidiscovery.com/captures/creatives/49961877113279346-0805803299bc.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.
