Handwritten Newspaper Template Generator

Addressing Specific Problems in Newspaper Template Generation

In educational settings, creating handwritten newspaper posters or blackboard designs is common, but traditional methods face key challenges:
- Low Efficiency: Drafting an A4-standard line art template manually can take hours, making iteration difficult.
- Compliance Risks: Themes like National Day require avoiding sensitive elements such as national flags or emblems, which manual checks often miss.
- Complex Layouts: Different grades have varying needs for white space boxes and illustration ratios, lacking automated strategies.

This skill automates the generation of black-and-white line art templates for handwritten newspapers, directly outputting A4-sized printable images to bypass manual design steps.

Core Capabilities and Workflow

Based on user inputs for theme, grade, and aspect ratio, the skill executes five key stages:

1. Compliance Verification Optimization: First, it reviews the input theme (e.g., National Day, Arbor Day) for compliance, automatically filtering or replacing sensitive elements—for instance, prohibiting national flags and providing substitution suggestions.
2. Intent Parsing and Layout Strategy Generation: It deep-parses the theme and grade requirements, generating structured data including title text, decorative elements, number of white space boxes, and illustration ratios as layout strategies.
3. Image Prompt Construction: Based on the parsed results, it precisely constructs positive and negative prompts for generating black-and-white line art, ensuring the image meets A4 printing standards.
4. Image Generation and Polling: It asynchronously submits a generation task, obtains a task_id, then polls the task status at fixed intervals until a high-resolution line art image is retrieved. This process is forced asynchronous and non-blocking.
5. A4 Print Size Adaptation: It scales the generated line art to A4 standard dimensions (e.g., 3200x2400), outputting a template image URL ready for direct printing.

The final output includes the template image URL, title text content, layout strategy explanation, and compliance constraint information, integrated into a simple HTML page.

Applicable Boundaries and Key Notes

• Input Requirements: The theme (theme) and grade (grade) are mandatory, needing clear descriptions like "low-grade National Day." The aspect ratio (ratio) is optional, defaulting to 4:3.
• Execution Mode: All real calls must be forced asynchronous; synchronous mode is unsupported. During polling, data from each round must be immediately fed back to the user.
• Credential Dependency: Real calls require configuring a ShowAPI appkey; when unconfigured, a simulation triggers automatically for preview results, but not real generation.
• Compliance Handling: The system automatically parses and applies compliance constraints, with substitution suggestions for reference—filtering is built into the image generation process.
