  "prompt": "A trade-shelf product shot of the boxed retail software 'qBitTorrz' as it sat on a 1998 store shelf — a chunky beige cardboard software box, three-quarter angle, photographed under cool fluorescent light against an out-of-focus grey big-box-store backdrop. The box is regulation administrative beige (#c0c0c0) with grey bevel edges; across the front face the wordmark 'qBitTorrz' in a confident period sans, with a quiet seed-green (#4f9e3a) accent — the one living color, a small arc of light-threads streaming away from a node, the Seeder's emblem of generosity-as-outflow. A grey strip of cramped low-resolution Win98-style screenshots runs along the bottom: tiny windows of a download list and a peer swarm, dithered and unglamorous. A circular holographic 'Approved' sticker (silver foil shifting faint teal-and-amber) is slapped slightly crooked over one corner, catching a hot specular glint. Taut shrink-wrap throws a long diagonal glare and soft wrinkles across the whole face; a price-gun sticker reads 'P.O.A.' and tiny copy reads 'OMNIDYNE GENERAL SYSTEMS, S.A.' and 'Approved Vendor — Fiscal Year 1999.' Painterly matte concept art with the grain and slight chromatic aberration of a scanned catalog photo, a little sun-faded. Mood: mundane, generous, faintly doomed retail melancholy. 3:2.",

Keep beige-dominant; seed-green is the only product accent, the holographic sticker may flash faint teal/amber but the box stays beige. Emphasize shrink-wrap glare and the crooked foil sticker.",
