Minimalist Gig Cover Portrait

[Format] Landscape 16:9 gig cover, flat pastel studio portrait with a clean subject cut-out. Minimal editorial finish, even exposure, no props, no grain. [Layout] One flat warm cream background fills the entire frame with no horizon line, no gradient band and no props, only the faintest vignette at the corners. The composition is split into two halves. The photographic subject occupies the left portion, roughly the left 40 percent, standing from the upper third down and cropping at the bottom edge, leaving air above his head. The text block occupies the right half, vertically centred in the frame and right-aligned so it hugs the right margin. In the extreme top-right corner a single rounded pill capsule floats with clear space all around it. There is no border, panel, grid, mockup or device anywhere in the frame - the entirety of the layout is one figure and one text block on flat colour. [Subject] A man in his early thirties with short dark swept-back hair and a short beard, wearing a plain black crew-neck t-shirt, standing square to camera with arms relaxed at his sides, framed waist-up and cropped at the bottom edge. He looks straight into the lens with a slight closed-mouth smile. Even soft studio light from the front-left with a gentle falloff on the shaded side of his face, and no cast shadow on the background so the cut-out sits flat against the cream. He occupies the left half only and does not overlap the type. [Headline] Right half, two stacked lines, right-aligned: the first line in a heavy dark-navy grotesque sans, title case, very large; the second line beneath it in a lighter-weight dark-navy serif at the same size but shifted further right so the two lines form a stepped block. Together they fill the central band of the right half and are the only display type on the cover. [Badges] One small rounded pill capsule in the top-right corner, warm cream-tan fill with a slightly deeper tan outline, holding short dark title-case text. Nothing else appears in the frame. [Mood] Warm sand-cream ground, black wardrobe and deep-navy type; calm, human, portfolio-style and deliberately uncluttered. At thumbnail size the black silhouette of the man against the flat cream field pairs instantly with the bold navy stepped headline.
