MASTER FACE-MATCH RULE — HIGHEST PRIORITY: Unmistakably and precisely the same man from the attached reference photo — this is a stylized illustration, but his facial identity must still be clearly recognizable: preserve his exact hairline, hair texture and natural curl pattern, brow shape, eye shape and spacing, nose bridge, lip shape, jawline, and beard/stubble pattern, rendered in illustrated form but true to his real proportions — not a generic caricature face.

STYLE: warm, hand-painted storybook illustration style — rich textured brushwork, slightly exaggerated but affectionate proportions (like a children's book or animated poster), full of charm and personality, NOT photorealistic.

THE SCENE: he stands proudly at the front of a cozy, lived-in classroom, one arm raised holding a wooden pointer toward a chalkboard, the other arm cradling a tall stack of well-loved books topped with pencils and a ruler. Around his neck, a lanyard with a small "TEACHER" ID card featuring a painted portrait of him. He beams a warm, genuine smile at the viewer.

BANNER: at the top of the frame, a hand-painted ribbon banner reads "WORLD'S FAVOURITE TEACHER" in bold friendly lettering, flanked by a small painted trophy and a bunch of colored pencils crossed like a crest, correctly spelled and clean.

CHALKBOARD DETAIL: behind him, a chalkboard reads "Welcome to Room 101" at the top, with playful chalk doodles — a sun, a small rocket, a music note, simple math symbols (2+2=4) — all clean, correctly formed, no garbled text.

CLASSROOM DETAIL: a globe on a side table, a mug that reads "BEST TEACHER" beside a stack of colored notebooks, an apple resting on an open graded notebook marked with a red "A+", a wall clock, student artwork pinned to a corkboard, and two small illustrated students peeking in from the side, laughing and waving.

STYLING: a warm mustard or teal collared shirt (not red, for a fresh palette), rolled sleeves, a wristwatch, comfortable jeans.

COLOUR STORY: warm mustard, teal, and cream classroom tones, deep chalkboard green, pops of red apple and golden banner — rich, inviting, nostalgic.

LIGHT: warm soft interior light, gentle painterly shading, no harsh photographic shadows — everything glows with a cozy storybook warmth.

Vertical 9:16 frame. All text elements must be clean, correctly spelled, and legible — no garbled or nonsense lettering.
