Generate a photorealistic flat lay image for an article following this concept: Hard Hat With Circuit Board Insert Top‑down flat lay of a single, bright yellow construction hard hat centered on a matte light‑gray background. Inside the open hat shell, a visible green circuit board insert is placed, aligned to the hat’s contour. A small torque wrench sits to the upper right as a subtle secondary object. Clean studio lighting, minimal shadows, crisp edges, no text or labels. Hard style requirements: - Photorealistic, top-down (90-degree overhead) flat lay product photography. - Single solid-colored background (choose a random solid background color). - Bright, clean studio lighting (softbox/high-key), minimal shadows, crisp detail, sharp focus. - ONE unified main composition that tells a clear visual story at a glance. - Convey action/meaning using object arrangement, and PHYSICAL indicators (paper cutout, simple shape icons as stickers/cutouts). No digital UI overlays. Content constraints: - ABSOLUTELY NO TEXT of any kind: no words, no letters, no numbers, no labels, no signage. - Avoid culturally specific references; use globally recognizable objects only. Strict negatives (must avoid): - No illustration, no drawing, no vector art, no cartoon, no anime. - No CGI, no 3D render, no plastic toy look unless explicitly part of the concept. - No watermarks, no captions, no logos, no brand marks, no typography. Output: a single photorealistic overhead flat lay studio photo that fully follows the concept and constraints.
