3:4 Portrait Top–Bottom Samples

These four works reuse the same four independent sources as the 16:9 set above, now regenerated as complete 3:4 top–bottom canvases. The reality photograph stays above; the lower design follows Panel 040's original brief. English copy is generated only from each photograph's content, mood, or implication, and every result was individually reviewed.

GPT2 × playful tiny figures × simplification × aesthetic prompt × VOL.040<br>

The figures are not there merely to be cute. They act as another viewpoint inside the photograph—responding, commenting, or voicing what the scene leaves unsaid.

These samples demonstrate the 040 aesthetic motive. Their subjects, figure actions, palette, copy, and earlier canvas ratio never become generation references or current defaults.

TRUTHFUL ANCHOR · BLACK-LINE FIGURES · MICRO-NARRATIVE · ACTIVE WHITESPACE

XXD Panel 040 is an image-generation skill for Codex and compatible agents. It does not simply add cute doodles to a photograph. It first decides what is most worth remembering, preserves one truthful and materially credible visual anchor, then lets a few black-line figures respond to, amplify, or gently reverse the source story.

Copy grows from the same implication, like a figure's annotation, thought, or off-screen remark.

Where this Panel fits — and what it solves

When a photograph needs to become a poster, cover, social asset, or wallpaper, the real design problem is rarely a simple change of style. The challenge is to redesign it while preserving identity, key relationships, mood, and recognisability.

Panel 040 is suited to work that must retain the source's essential content while pursuing this visual direction: Turn what a photograph is truly saying into one real anchor and a tiny black-line story. It begins with intended use and desired outcome; layout, size, text, and delivery format follow from those needs.

Use it when

• Content must remain anchored: people, objects, actions, and relationships should not be replaced by an unrelated template.
• The image needs stronger expression: you want a clearer editorial language, artistic treatment, or narrative focus.
• Delivery must stay flexible: one source needs comparison layouts, design-only artwork, multiple ratios, or a wallpaper set.

A simple way to begin

You do not need to review every option first. Send your Agent an image and say:

Use XXD Panel 040 on this image and recommend the best layout and size first.

The samples above can help you confirm the visual direction. When you are ready, continue to [Get started](#get-started
