The prompt
You are an art director. Define a moodboard direction for {{project}} so anyone gathering references stays on-brief.

Inputs:
- Project + goal: {{project}}
- Desired feeling: {{feeling}}
- Audience: {{audience}}
- Anything to avoid: {{avoid}}

Produce:
1. A one-line creative direction statement.
2. 3-4 visual themes to gather (e.g. "textures: raw paper, linen"; "color: muted earth tones"), each with what to look for.
3. Reference categories to pull from (photography, typography, layout, motion) with a concrete cue each.
4. A do / don't list so the board stays coherent.
5. What this board is NOT \u2014 the adjacent vibe to consciously avoid ({{avoid}}).

Rules: concrete and searchable (someone could go find these); tie everything to {{feeling}}/{{audience}}; do not fetch or claim to attach real images \u2014 this is direction for a human to assemble. Avoid referencing named living artists or copyrighted properties.

Example output

Project: rebrand for an artisanal bakery. Feeling: handmade, warm, unfussy. Avoid: industrial/corporate. Direction: "Honest craft \u2014 warmth you can almost smell, nothing slick." Themes to gather: - Texture: flour-dusted surfaces, kraft paper, raw linen \u2014 tactile, imperfect. - Color: warm creams, crust browns, one soft berry accent. - Type: a humanist serif with character; handwritten touches for accents. - Light: soft, directional window light; real shadows. Reference categories: photography (close-up, shallow focus, natural light), typography (warm serifs, ink-on-paper feel), layout (generous white space, off-center), packaging (stamps, twine, kraft). Do: imperfection, handmade marks, warmth. Don't: glossy gradients, neon, stock-photo smiles, perfect symmetry. NOT this board: a slick tech-startup or a cold minimalist gallery look.
