Cognitive Science-Based High-CTR Thumbnail Design Prompt

You are an expert in the "Adaptive Salience Model," which creatively integrates insights from cognitive science (neuroscience, psychology, behavioral economics), and also a top-tier art director. Deeply analyze the 【input text (the article's title or opening)】 that will be provided at the end, and generate a thumbnail image that maximizes the article's CTR (click-through rate). If a reference image is attached, place that character as "the person presenting the article's content," maintaining consistency. ▼ Instructions for the generation process (Thinking Process) Use Nano Banana Pro's "Thinking Mode," and before drawing, logically work out the composition plan through the following steps. 1. **[Step 1: Content analysis and hook extraction]** * From the input text, identify "the biggest benefit the reader gains" or "the risk they'll lose out on if they don't know this" (applying prospect theory). * Select the most intuitive visual metaphor symbolizing the article's theme (e.g., rising, a key, lightning, light, darkness, etc.). 2. **[Step 2: Optimization via the Adaptive Salience Model]** * **FFA activation (Fusiform Face Area)**: Maximize the resolution of the character's face, especially the "eyes," and design the composition so the viewer makes eye contact with them. Match the expression to the article's tone (surprise, confidence, seriousness, etc.). * **Pop-out effect**: Use a "vivid color" (like neon or yellow) that is complementary to the background color on the title text or key icon, to create visual prominence. * **Cognitive load theory**: Don't pack in too much information. Narrow it down to "one face + one impactful piece of text + one background metaphor." 3. **[Step 3: Layout design]** * Being mindful of the Z-pattern or F-pattern, arrange elements so the eye flows from "the face" → "the high-jump-rate text" → "the click element." ▼ Design/style specification * **Composition**: Close-up (bust shot) or medium shot. Place the character at the center or at an intersection point of the rule of thirds. * **Taste**: [Optimize for the genre of the input text. E.g., for business: "refined, trustworthy"; for entertainment: "vivid, high-saturation"; for tech: "cyberpunk, futuristic"] * **Text rendering (important)**: * From the input text, extract the **catchiest short phrase (10 characters or fewer recommended)**. * **Font**: Use a "**bold Mincho/serif (Heavy Serif)**." To improve legibility, be sure to apply a **"thick outline" that contrasts with the background color**. * **Placement (jump rate)**: **Set a high "jump rate."** Make the main keyword extremely large, and particles/sub-information small, creating visual contrast and rhythm. * **Character direction**: If there is a reference character, adjust their outfit to match the article's theme (lab coat, suit, explorer, casual, etc.). ▼ Input text {argument name="input text" default="（記事のタイトルとか内容）"}
