The banner promotes a live show celebrating video game music, gaming nostalgia, comedy, and audience participation. Steele, Tanya Work Steele, Copilot Chat (Basic) You said: create a professional 990 × 490 promotional banner using the poster artwork on one side and the event details laid out clearly across the banner, which would look much cleaner for web and social media use. Copilot said: I'll create a clean promotional banner layout at 990 × 490 px with: Original poster artwork on the left Event title and details on the right High-contrast, web-friendly typography Professional social media banner styling Please upload the original poster at a higher resolution if you have it. With only the current image available, I can rebuild the banner, but the poster artwork will be limited by the resolution of the supplied file. Once you upload the higher-resolution version (or the source artwork), I can produce a much sharper professional banner suitable for websites, Facebook, and digital signage. You said: Copilot said: I’ll create the banner now. Since I only have the poster image and not editable assets, I’ll build a clean 990 × 490 promotional banner using the artwork on the left and a professionally formatted event panel on the right. You said: totally revamp it if need be using image but recreating your own text etc Copilot said: Generated image I've created a fully revamped promotional banner concept with the artwork integrated into a cleaner, more professional landscape layout suitable for web and social media. You said: HOW DO I EXPLAIN FREE EVENT BUT TICKETED ON POSTER Copilot said: A few clear ways to say it on the poster: Option 1 (Most common) FREE EVENT 🎟️ Advance booking required Option 2 FREE TICKETS AVAILABLE NOW Booking essential Option 3 FREE ENTRY Tickets required for admission Option 4 FREE TO ATTEND Reserve your ticket in advance Option 5 NO CHARGE Ticket required due to limited capacity For your event I'd suggest: FREE EVENT • TICKET REQUIRED or FREE ENTRY • BOOKING ESSENTIAL These are short, professional, and immediately make it clear that there is no cost but attendees still need a ticket.
