Replace all the [BRACKETED] variables with your own creative choices. You can generate endless variations by mixing and matching foods, textures, and moods.
Variation #1
A flat lay illustration in clean Scandinavian style featuring a glass of milk, piped meringue swirl, sugar cube stack, and a paper straw arranged across a pastel background in a minimalist floating layout. Each object is rendered in simplified, geometric shapes, spaced with airy intention. The illustration uses cutout-style forms with smooth vellum texture for a tactile yet refined feel. A pale sky blue, sugar white, rose blush, and soft silver color palette defines the mood — calm and contemporary. Ultra-diffused light with cloudlike ambient softness enhances the flat graphic balance. The overall mood is whimsical, delicate, and pure — suited for modern packaging, branding, or gentle editorial food moments.
Variation #2
A flat lay illustration in clean Scandinavian style featuring a bowl of yogurt with a swirl of honey, sliced peach, pomegranate seeds, and a gold stirring spoon arranged across a pastel background in a minimalist floating layout. Each object is rendered in simplified, geometric shapes, spaced with airy intention. The illustration uses velvety brush texture with fine grain speckling for a tactile yet refined feel. A blush peach, pomegranate red, milk white, and soft terracotta color palette defines the mood — calm and contemporary. Feathered light with subtle reflective edges enhances the flat graphic balance. The overall mood is warm, dreamy, and softly luxurious — suited for modern packaging, branding, or gentle editorial food moments.
Variation #3
A flat lay illustration in clean Scandinavian style featuring a cluster of blueberries, a halved croissant, stacked sugar cubes, and a ceramic spoon arranged across a pastel background in a minimalist floating layout. Each object is rendered in simplified, geometric shapes, spaced with airy intention. The illustration uses matte paper cutouts with embossed grain for a tactile yet refined feel. A lavender cream, dusty rose, oatmeal beige, and blueberry gray color palette defines the mood — calm and contemporary. Soft diffused lighting with no hard shadows enhances the flat graphic balance. The overall mood is gentle, slow, and indulgent — suited for modern packaging, branding, or gentle editorial food moments.
