## The prompt

```text
Create a vintage collage image that shows the journey from [STARTING POINT, e.g. overwhelmed solo owner] to [END POINT, e.g. calm, organized business].

Style: realistic vintage photo landscapes combined with black-and-white newspaper cutout objects. The cutouts have halftone dots, a white paper border, and a soft drop shadow. Add film grain, a light vignette, and warm faded colors.

Composition: a winding path through 3 landscapes, [LANDSCAPE 1, e.g. a stormy harbor], [LANDSCAPE 2, e.g. a misty forest], and [LANDSCAPE 3, e.g. a sunny meadow], connected by oversized cutout objects that act as doorways, like a pocket watch, a magnifying glass, or an old camera lens. Place one small 1950s-style figure walking along the path.

Leave clear empty space at the top for a headline. Wide 16:9 format. No modern objects, no extra text.
