Open red-edged book whose shape forms a pair of lips

Warm cream gradient background with a bright glow behind the subject. An open book with red page edges, its pages fanned and slightly motion-blurred, lies flat so its outline reads as red lips. It is mirrored in a glossy tabletop. Soft studio lighting and a minimal, clean visual metaphor for listening to books. The black top bar is a flaw in the crop.

Layout: The hero book sits low and centred on a reflective surface, and a black band fills the top quarter, probably from cropping. A small yellow logo tag sits in the bottom-right corner, and there is no other text.
Typography: Only a small box logo with bold sans caps on yellow and a lowercase sans descriptor.

Design an original 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 × 1080 px (Instagram square).

Art direction to follow:
- The idea: Open red-edged book whose shape forms a pair of lips.
- Look and feel: Warm cream gradient background with a bright glow behind the subject. An open book with red page edges, its pages fanned and slightly motion-blurred, lies flat so its outline reads as red lips. It is mirrored in a glossy tabletop. Soft studio lighting and a minimal, clean visual metaphor for listening to books. The black top bar is a flaw in the crop.
- Layout: The hero book sits low and centred on a reflective surface, and a black band fills the top quarter, probably from cropping. A small yellow logo tag sits in the bottom-right corner, and there is no other text.
- Typography: Only a small box logo with bold sans caps on yellow and a lowercase sans descriptor.
- Colours: #000000, #d5cca8, #fbf8eb, #e9e2c3, #be4536, #4b2e25 (background #d5cca8, text #000000, accent #be4536).
- Mood and details: sensual, conceptual, calm, open book, red lips shape, reflection, glowing backlight.
- Reference image, only if you can open it: https://media.uidiscovery.com/captures/creatives/68117013101031935-61cdc9a91346.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.
