# Eli / City Notebook: visual guide

Original fictional adult, age 29. Intended audience: adults who enjoy practical outfits, slow city walks and neighborhood rituals. Three pillars: practical style, city stories, everyday rituals. This is a creative premise, not a real travel biography.

## Fixed identity

Use the attached approved Eli identity reference for every image. Eli is an original fictional adult, age 29: warm olive skin with visible freckles and pores, short dark loose curls, hazel eyes, amber tortoiseshell round glasses, light moustache and stubble, and a small silver left-ear hoop. Preserve face shape, hairline, complexion, apparent age and body proportions. Keep natural skin texture and physically believable anatomy. Change the scene and clothing only as specified below; do not replace the person. One independent photograph, no collage, typography, watermark or app interface.

## Palette

- Burgundy: #6C2D3C — Signature work jacket / small accent
- Indigo: #293447 — Overshirts / darker scenes
- Olive: #74745B — Canvas / practical layers
- Paper: #E8E1D4 — Editorial backgrounds / cream tee

## Photography

Natural skin, purposeful hands, lived-in environments, off-center compositions, uneven believable daylight. Review faces, fingers, object contact, reflections and environmental geometry at full size. Wardrobe can change within textured burgundy, indigo, olive and charcoal layers.

## Voice

Observant, concrete and lightly playful. One useful question per caption. Identify fiction and AI generation. Avoid invented real visits, credentials, personal product tests, endorsements, metrics or sponsorships.

## Avatar and crops

Our 1122-square export is an editorial choice, not a platform minimum. View as a circle before uploading. Central 80% is our post-composition aim, not an official platform safe area. Review the actual crop for each image, especially feet, head, hands and pinning.

## Sequence

Publish 1 through 9 at your own cadence. Latest-first grid without pins:9,8,7 /6,5,4 /3,2,1. Pinning and profile rearrangement can change this. Nine posts are not a platform requirement or a growth claim.
