- {{target_audience}}: The primary users (e.g., young professionals, seniors, gamers).
- {{design_principles}}: Key principles to emphasize (e.g., simplicity, minimalism, interactivity, personalization).
- {{brand_identity}}: Any existing brand guidelines or visual style to consider.
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before starting.

- For each concept, describe the visual style, key UI elements, and interaction patterns that embody {{design_principles}}.
- Explain how each concept addresses the needs and preferences of {{target_audience}}.
- Briefly note potential trade-offs or challenges for each concept.
Output format Present three concepts, each with a name, a 2–3 sentence description, bullet points for key features, and a short 'Why it works' note. Keep the total response under 450 words.
