The Oversized Locking Tab
A long, shallow coral shipping carton with a large kraft locking tab, drawn in sparse ink contours and broad marker fills on ivory.
Small 640×360, Medium 1200×675
Finished editorial illustration, 16:9 landscape. One absurdly long, shallow self-locking cardboard shipping carton, viewed from a slightly elevated three-quarter angle. Place it across the lower-left two-thirds, leaving open ivory space at upper right. Coral lid, warm kraft front and sides; one disproportionately broad rounded locking tongue fits into a visible slot on the front wall. Keep the folded construction believable and the silhouette instantly legible. Copperplate-etching-inspired tapered dark-brown contours, a few short parallel marks at folded edges, combined with expressive hand-drawn marker fills and slight colour overshoot. No intricate hatching. Exaggerated squat proportions, gently asymmetric lid corners, simple flat colours, one broad pale clay shadow beneath. No contents, people, street scenery or extra props. Not a diagram or icon sheet. No text, logos or watermarks.
