Prompt
Infographic for popular science with the theme "The life of garlic".
The image must show "a single complete individual food item" (for example, one potato / a bunch of bananas / one head of garlic). For this project the food is: garlic (one whole garlic bulb).
Portray the same single garlic bulb over time by using a horizontal slice / time-slice composition, not multiple different garlic bulbs stitched together.
The food subject must remain structurally continuous and shape-consistent, only different slice regions show different stages of maturity (as if time is sliced).
Vertical orientation, 3:4 aspect ratio, subject centered and expanded horizontally, evenly divided into 4-6 segments from left to right:
From left to right: unripe → ripe → overripe → spoiled
Each segment must show realistic changes:
- Color changes (green/white → yellow → blacking, etc.)
- Texture changes (plump → softening → shriveling → rotting)
- Feature changes (sprouting, weeping, mold growth, etc.)
Each stage must include text annotations in Chinese for:
- Stage name
- External appearance characteristics
- Internal changes (sugar/starch/water changes)
- Eating suggestions (recommended / suitable for cooking / inedible)
Design style:
- Minimal light-colored background (beige)
- High photorealism photography style
- Clear dividing lines emphasizing time-slice feel
- Chinese science-pop layout, Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) style
- Use simple icons where appropriate
Top of the image must have the title in Chinese: “大蒜的一生”
Key requirement: It must clearly represent "the same single garlic bulb changing over time in slices", not multiple independent bulbs stitched together.
Technical: vertical 3:4 aspect ratio, centered composition, 4-6 equal horizontal slices, photorealistic details, Chinese text annotations, beige minimal background.
