 - The person names a look, or describes one ("newsprint", "riso", "phosphor", "Lego", "engraving", "film still"): use the entry, then adjust only what they asked for.
 - Dark, contrasty sources (a subject on black, night scenes) suit character looks and source-color tiles. Bright, high-key sources (white architecture, paper, daylight) suit the paper-ground looks: Newsprint, Two inks, Banknote, Four-color press, Riso duotone, Woodcut, Overprint.
 - Subjects with strong local color (fruit, fish, birds, a painting) suit source-color looks: Mosaic study, Brickwork, Pixel, Honeycomb, Pointillist, ANSI blocks, Jewel box.
+- The person names a job (album cover, magazine portrait, product hero, poster, postcard, lookbook, game box art, sticker, lock screen): use its Projects entry; it sets the frame and the export size.
 - The artwork goes over something else (video, a gradient, a brand color, a product page): use a transparent look (Cutout, Halo overlay) and export PNG, which keeps the alpha.
 - The person wants the photo itself to stay present: Frosted glass and Bokeh draw over its blur, Overprint over the sharp original.
 - The person asks for a grade, film, broadcast or vintage feel: use a Finished look. Finish effects need WebGL; check `art.capabilities.gpuFinish` and say so when it is unavailable.
 - Keep artwork with motion off for video sources unless asked; the footage already moves.
 - Say in one line which look you chose and offer one alternative from this file.
