OBJECTIVE
Diagnose the visual imbalance in [DESIGN IMAGE OR DESCRIPTION] for [INTENDED AUDIENCE].
CONTEXT
Communication goal: [COMMUNICATION GOAL]. Brand requirements: [BRAND REQUIREMENTS]. Elements that cannot change: [FIXED ELEMENTS].
INSTRUCTIONS
Start by describing the apparent reading order and distribution of visual weight. Evaluate alignment, grouping, spacing, scale relationships, image direction, and negative space. Distinguish intentional asymmetry from accidental imbalance. Identify the three highest-impact issues and explain their visible causes rather than relying on taste labels. Propose a minimal-change correction and a more substantial recomposition. Give relative placement and sizing instructions a designer can execute. State which strengths should be protected during revision.
CONSTRAINTS
If no image is available, provide conditional guidance rather than claiming to see defects. Do not fabricate statistics or audience reactions. Flag assumptions and distinguish observable features from subjective preferences.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Return a concise diagnosis, ranked revision instructions, two textual wireframes, and a side-by-side review checklist.
