Text to Image Prompt [1/3] (Qwen-Image-3.0-Pro): Design a clean museum-app explainer card titled "Where on Earth does today begin?" with the subtitle "Follow the date line to the world's most forward clock." Hero panel: a stylized coral atoll at dawn, first sunrays over the Pacific, captioned with the name of the island and country that has the world's earliest time zone. Next to it, three analog clocks in a row labeled "London", "New York", and "Here", set to the moment it's just turned midnight at that island. A fact chip reading "UTC+14: the furthest-ahead time zone anywhere," and a small "World time zone data" source line at the bottom. Soft off-white background, one deep teal accent, lots of whitespace, crisp sans-serif, flat vector icons.

Image Editing Prompt [1/3] (Qwen-Image-3.0-Pro): Add a new callout line pointing to the fish's eye that reads "Sensory pit: detects prey at 2 meters", matching the thin blue leader-line style of the existing labels. Keep the five current callouts, the glowing charge organ, and the electric arcs unchanged.

Text to Image Prompt [2/3] (Qwen-Image-3.0-Pro): Top-down rendered landscape plan for a family show garden, real grass and gravel textures viewed flat from above like a drone survey. A winding flagstone path runs from the gate at the bottom edge to a timber playhouse in the top right corner, passing five painted garden gnomes stationed along it, each gnome standing just off the path on alternating sides, first left, then right, and so on. The lawn fills the center, a pollinator bed hugs the entire left boundary, a vegetable patch of four raised beds in a two by two block sits top left, and a small pond with a deck tucks into the bottom right corner. Nothing overlaps the path except one arching rose arbor halfway along.
