Assignment
Create a 3-IMAGE ARC where the PALETTE SHIFTS tell the story: define 3 different 3-color palettes for each stage. Image 1 uses palette A, image 2 uses palette B, image 3 uses palette C. The palette transition IS the emotional narrative.
Criteria: 3 images visible. Each uses a distinct 3-color palette. The palettes form a progression (not random). Palette change is the primary narrative device. Each palette contains only its designated 3 colors (plus black/white for value).
Intents
- Each of the 3 images will use only its assigned 3-color palette (plus black/white for value), with no color overlap between palettes.
- The palette progression will convey a clear emotional journey: Image 1 is cool and subdued, Image 2 is vivid and tense, Image 3 is warm and soft.
- The composition will remain consistent across all 3 images (same scene, same figure), so that the emotional arc is communicated primarily through color, not changing subject matter or perspective.
- The figure’s body language and the light source will subtly reflect the emotional state associated with each palette.
- The transition between palettes will be visually evident and reinforce the narrative arc: from stillness (Image 1), to crisis (Image 2), to resolution (Image 3).
Scene Prompt
**SCENE DESCRIPTION (IMAGE PROMPT):**
Three sequential images depict a solitary figure in the center of a nearly empty, rectangular room as the emotional palette shifts:
- **Image 1 — Onset (Palette A: pale mint green, cool charcoal, soft dove gray):**
Viewed from a slightly elevated angle, the sparse room has blank walls and one small window high on the back wall. The lone figure sits hunched on the floor, arms loosely wrapped around their knees. Everything in the scene uses only pale mint

Strengths
- Strong, clear use of a limited palette to convey mood.
- Composition is balanced and supports the emotional tone.
- Expressive body language and lighting.
Weaknesses
- Only one image is provided, so the required arc and palette progression are missing.
- Cannot judge the narrative or color transition, which are central to the assignment.
Recommendation
Resubmit with all three images, each using its distinct 3-color palette and showing a clear progression. The narrative arc must be visible through the palette transitions across the series.
