OUTPUT
- Lossless PNG only
- Minimum resolution: 8192 x 12288
- Vertical scholarly broadside format
- Clean headings and portraits

VISUAL IDENTITY
This page should feel like a philosophical companion manuscript:
- parchment texture
- sepia and black engraving
- restrained gold accents around the central wheel and title bands
- academic seriousness rather than occult theater

PAGE STRUCTURE
Use a three-part educational layout.

LEFT COLUMN
- framed philosopher portraits
- Kierkegaard
- Nietzsche
- Sartre
- Camus
- Heidegger

CENTER
- one central star-wheel or eye-centered existential diagram
- labels for freedom, absurdity, alienation, and authenticity
- one doctrine plaque about meaninglessness and the absurd

RIGHT COLUMN
- key principles listed in clear rows
- existence precedes essence
- freedom and responsibility
- the absurd
- individuality and authenticity
- anguish and despair
- alienation
- choice and commitment

LOWER FIELD
Add compact lower panels on:
- freedom and choice
- angst, alienation, and despair
- meaninglessness and the absurd
- authentic existence

DO NOT
- do not make this page horror-themed
- do not replace philosophers with fantasy archetypes
- do not fill the page with fake dense prose
- do not lose the educational poster clarity

AESTHETIC GOAL
The page should feel like a manuscript companion for readers reflecting on agency and meaning:
- scholarly
- human
- intense
- still clearly part of the same book world
