# Image Compositing Brief: Full-Page Print Ad ## Client: Simtable / Realtime.Earth ## Publication: WUI Media — "AI in Wildfire" reference guide ## Final format: Full-page portrait (8.5×11"), 300 DPI for print --- ## IMPORTANT: This is a compositing task, NOT a generation task. Do NOT generate new people, new landscapes, or new scenes. Use the two real photographs below as-is. The task is to composite them together and add a subtle graphic overlay. These are real photos from a real community event in New South Wales, Australia. The authenticity is the point. A lower-resolution mockup is fine for iteration. Final print production will be 300 DPI. Text will be typeset separately in PostScript/vector for final print — do not rasterize text into the image. ## Source Images (use these exactly) 1. **Community around Simtable (use as upper zone):** ![Community around Simtable in NSW](https://guerin.acequia.org/wuimedia/NewSouthWales-CommunitySimtable.png) - Real photo: community members gathered around a Simtable projection surface showing 3D terrain. A man is placing a marker pin. Mixed ages, casual clothing. This is a community outreach event, not a military briefing. - Use as-is, including the YouTube chrome. This is a real screenshot from a real video. The chrome adds authenticity. 2. **Actual terrain of this community (use as lower zone):** ![Actual terrain - NSW wildland-urban interface](https://guerin.acequia.org/wuimedia/NewSouthWales-actual-terrain.png) - Real drone photo: the actual landscape this community lives in. Eucalyptus bush meeting residential homes on a ridge (wildland-urban interface). Cleared sports field and access road in foreground. - Use as-is, including the YouTube chrome. ## Compositing Task Create a portrait-format composite. The imagery does not need to fill the entire page — leave space for text. ### Layout - **Upper zone:** The community Simtable photo (as-is) - **Lower zone:** The actual terrain drone photo (as-is) - **Blend zone:** Where the two images meet, create a smooth transition — as if the 3D terrain projected on the table surface extends outward and becomes the real landscape below. The table edge dissolves into the aerial view of the actual community. ### Graphic Overlay (add on top of the real terrain photo) Add subtle glowing graphic elements to the lower landscape zone showing a peer-to-peer device mesh: #### Ridgetop / fixed infrastructure - **Pano.AI camera icon** on a ridgetop — arcs connecting to nearby devices - **ALERTWildfire camera icon** on another high point — arcs radiating to nearby devices #### Community / residential - **A phone icon** near a home on the ridge — small warm glow, thin arc connecting to a nearby device - **A tablet icon** near the sports field / staging area — connected to other devices #### Air attack stack - **Helitack icon** (helicopter) — arcs connecting to ground devices and other aircraft - **ATGS icon** (air tactical group supervisor, fixed-wing) — arcs connecting to helitack and ground - **SEAT icon** (single engine air tanker) with camera — arcs connecting to ATGS and ground devices #### Fireline - **Crew phone icons** on the fireline — small glows, arcs connecting to each other and to air attack above #### Overhead - **A satellite arc** from above — one faint curved line from the sky **Critical mesh topology:** Devices connect to EACH OTHER in a mesh pattern, NOT all routing back to the Simtable in the upper zone. No hub-and-spoke. No central node. The table is where the community gathers, but the network is peer-to-peer. The glowing lines should be subtle — warm amber/gold, thin, slightly luminous. Not neon. Not sci-fi. Think: embers connected by threads of light. Device icons should be small and minimal, not oversized. ### Text zone Leave space (bottom or margins) for the ad copy below. Text will be composited in vector/PostScript for final print — just leave room for it. ## What NOT to Do - Do NOT generate new people — use the real people in the photo - Do NOT generate a new landscape — use the real terrain photo - Do NOT generate a new Simtable scene — use the real photo - No nuclear-looking fireballs or mushroom cloud fire shapes - No hub-and-spoke network diagrams - No heavy sci-fi aesthetic - Do not rasterize text into the image — text will be added as vector in final production ## Feeling Warm, not alarming. Human first, tech second. A fire-adapted community — they have a healthy relationship with fire. The mesh overlay is subtle augmentation on top of a real place with real people. The visual story: what this community plans on the table IS the landscape they live in, and every device in that landscape is now part of a shared mesh. ## Technical Specs - Portrait orientation (3:4 or 2:3 aspect ratio) - Mockups can be lower resolution for iteration; final output 300 DPI for print - Color palette: warm amber glows against natural greens/browns of Australian bush and warm indoor lighting --- ## Ad Copy (text will be typeset separately in vector/PostScript) ### Headline **Light Your Community Up.** ### Subhead Agents that run on the edge, working for you. Decentralized perception. Collective action. ### Body Copy For 17 years, communities have gathered around Simtables to rehearse, plan, and think together about their landscape. Now that capability runs on every device in your community. Realtime.Earth and AnyHazard put AI agents on every device in your community — phones, laptops, tablets, drones. Each agent runs at the edge, working for you: calibrating imagery to terrain, fusing camera feeds into a shared view, giving every actor a relevant operating picture. No central server. No single platform owns the data or the intelligence. The National Cohesive Strategy calls for resilient landscapes, fire adapted communities, and safe and effective wildfire response. Agents on every crew device make response safer. Agents observing forests and landscapes build resilience over time. And the capacity to perceive together and act together — collectively — is what makes a community truly fire adapted. 250 Simtable communities already know how to think together around their landscape. Now every device they carry extends that capability to the field, the neighborhood, the evacuation route. **Your community is the spark.
