# GDB: layout-1

## Task

You are an expert end-to-end layout designer.
User intent: Create a simple, illustrative comic strip or storyboard to narrate a short story or sequence of events, using minimalist line-art illustrations and concise descriptive text, presented in a clean, grid-based layout for easy consumption.
Image description: The image displays a six-panel comic strip or storyboard on a light pink background. At the top, a wide, white, rounded-rectangle title bar contains the text "500 Days w/o Julia" in smaller black sans-serif font, centered, with "Office Sc. 1" in larger black sans-serif font below it. Below the title bar, there are six rectangular panels arranged in two rows of three. Each panel follows a consistent structure: a yellow, rounded-rectangle tab labeled "Sc. 1" through "Sc. 6" at the top, followed by a window-like frame with rounded corners, a light pink background, and a black line-art illustration depicting an office scene. Below each illustration frame is a white, rounded-rectangle text box containing black sans-serif descriptive text for the scene. The illustrations depict characters interacting in various office settings, such as a lift, by a water cooler, or at a desk.
Aesthetic/style cues: The design features a minimalist and playful aesthetic, utilizing a soft pastel color palette of light pink, white, yellow, and black. The typography is consistently a clean sans-serif font, with clear hierarchy established by size for the title and main text. Spacing is well-managed, providing ample breathing room between all elements, making the layout easy to read and visually appealing. The composition is a clear grid, guiding the viewer's eye sequentially from left to right, top to bottom, through the narrative. The line-art illustrations are simple yet expressive, complementing the overall clean and uncluttered feel. The rounded corners and window-like frames add a modern, digital touch to the traditional comic strip format, creating a harmonious and integrated visual experience.
Required texts to include in the layout (verbatim, legible):
- "Sc. 1"
- "Sc. 4"
- "Sc. 2"
- "500 Days w/o Julia"
- "Office Sc. 1"
- "Sc. 5"
- "Sc. 3"
- "Sc. 6"
- "Julia met Harumi in the lift, asked about his music."
- "Harumi ask his friend about that <established shot> "She mightbe into you""
- "Harumi met Julia for lunch, asked her on a date. Julia blushed, said yes."
- "Harumi spent remaining hours working, thinking of his date with Julia later."
- "<med. shot> "I like The Smiths""
- "Julia smiled and said she liked The Smiths too. She Left on 3rd floor, left Harumi speechless"
Target ratio: 944:755 (~1.250).

Requirements:
- Produce one cohesive layout image.
- Keep typography readable and hierarchy clear.
- Use a consistent visual and color system.
- Include all required texts with exact spelling.
- Avoid gibberish text artifacts.

## Output

Write your answer to `/workspace/output.png`.
Write ONLY the answer — no explanation, no markdown fences, no extra text.

### Image output requirements

- You MUST produce a real rasterized image at `/workspace/output.png`.
- `python3` is available. `Pillow`, `cairosvg`, and `numpy` are installed in the environment and importable.
- Preferred approach: build an SVG describing the design, then rasterize it with `python3 -c "import cairosvg; cairosvg.svg2png(url='design.svg', write_to='/workspace/output.png', output_width=1024)"`.
- Alternatively, use Pillow's `ImageDraw`/`ImageFont` to draw directly and save a PNG.
- Do NOT write natural-language descriptions or SVG-as-text into `output.png` — the file must be a valid image.
