black necktie knotted into a hanging noose

Plain light-grey seamless studio backdrop with soft, even light and a gentle vignette. A satin black necktie drops from the top edge and is tied into a hangman's noose, a dark-humour visual pun on corporate stress. The palette is almost monochrome, greys and black, with a single lime-green accent on the logo. The finish is clean, like a photographic print ad, and the idea carries the whole poster.

Layout: A black tie hangs from the top centre and loops into a large noose that frames the centred headline, subline and logo inside its opening. The URL sits small at the bottom centre, with generous light-grey negative space around it.
Typography: Heavy grotesque sans caps for the headline in dark grey; light humanist sans for the subline; lime-green bold sans logo with a tiny spaced tagline.

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 × 1616 px (same shape as the reference).

Art direction to follow:
- The idea: black necktie knotted into a hanging noose.
- Look and feel: Plain light-grey seamless studio backdrop with soft, even light and a gentle vignette. A satin black necktie drops from the top edge and is tied into a hangman's noose, a dark-humour visual pun on corporate stress. The palette is almost monochrome, greys and black, with a single lime-green accent on the logo. The finish is clean, like a photographic print ad, and the idea carries the whole poster.
- Layout: A black tie hangs from the top centre and loops into a large noose that frames the centred headline, subline and logo inside its opening. The URL sits small at the bottom centre, with generous light-grey negative space around it.
- Typography: Heavy grotesque sans caps for the headline in dark grey; light humanist sans for the subline; lime-green bold sans logo with a tiny spaced tagline.
- Colours: #c1c0bb, #d5d5d1, #adaca6, #7a7978, #0f1013, #29292b (background #adaca6, text #0f1013, accent #0f1013).
- Mood and details: dark humour, provocative, witty, necktie, noose, visual metaphor.
- Reference image, only if you can open it: https://media.uidiscovery.com/captures/creatives/7951736838840588-41ea57c65b4e.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.
